This little gold-and-diamond necklace feels like his forever ardent nature - angular, yet with an innate gentle glow.
A parcel just packed and sent out, and then I immediately saw Gillian Chung’s same sunflower necklace, given to Charlene Choi as a wedding gift! Although there are countless recreations on the market, the ones that truly capture this level of refinement never simply copy the shape. We obsess over every setting claw and strictly control the fire angle of each diamond, all to make this 'sun...
This is a jadeite peace pendant the client bought more than twenty years ago. Although the jade quality is not top-tier, it carries a unique memory. We gave it a new everyday life with an aged metal finish and soft leather cord. The jade is not perfect, but it is a record of youth.
When the wind blows, the diamonds sway gently. Tenderness reaches all the way to the bone and the spring atmosphere is instantly full 🌿. Wear it, and may all beauty and good fortune arrive as promised. Lily of the valley blooms, happiness follows.
If I must speak of preference, I prefer all the uncarved truth in this world. Every Baroque pearl and keshi pearl requires especially careful selection of style, for fear of betraying that rustic beauty. Just like this Baroque pearl: it is never a regular round, yet within the dark currents of the deep sea it is repeatedly shaped by time into its own unique contour...
This hexagram key 🔯 does not lock away the door to the ordinary; it only opens towards dreams and unspoken secrets. Perhaps it is the influence of childhood days spent watching Cardcaptor Sakura. The hexagram recreates the mysterious pattern of the Star Wand, opening the magic and courage hidden in a girl’s heart. With every turn, it carries its own starry barrier, locking fairytale and tenderness forever at the neck.
Natural textures with a milky white base and a hint of sugar tone are framed in 18K gold, which not only supports the organic curves of the rough stone, but also conceals an ingenious detachable mechanism. It can be worn as a warm wrist ornament beside the ear, and when removed it becomes a unique pendant at the neck. No need to choose between occasions, and no need to struggle over style - much like the ancient Chinese devotion to jade, 'if there is no good reason, never leave it from the body'. One object, two...
A cushion-cut red spinel holds the light, like crushed crimson glow sealed within crystal. The star-bright white diamonds at the top support that heat, so the clash between red and white becomes a quiet poem at the neck. It need not rely on anyone else’s gaze to prove its value; like an eternal image in literature, it is independently and self-contained. When you lift your head, that touch of red follows the light and shadow...
Wading the river to pick hibiscus, the orchid marsh thick with fragrant grasses. The pinkish-white jade texture is like lotus root soup just beginning to melt in a pond - softly luminous, restrained, yet quietly full of tender strength. The 18K gold rim lends elegance through simplicity, while the coloured cotton cord holds together a softness from Jiangnan, giving Wu dialect’s gentle cadence a touch more freedom. This clear Eastern romance is the tenderness preserved by time, and also the poetry hidden in a small space.
Round and baguette diamonds on the bow trace a soft, elegant curve 🎀. Below, a 70-point pear-shaped diamond drops at the neck, swaying gently as you walk, wrapping sweetness and scattered light around a girlhood heart just right. The bold, clean design suits every style and is the kind of piece that instantly elevates everyday outfits.
The beauty of South Sea golden pearls is truly difficult to describe. They can be stately and luxurious, and they can also be chic. This pair of earrings lets the golden pearls shine without arrogance, without flattery, without showing off. They are both the protagonist and, in a sense, the supporting role. It is this seemingly contradictory yet immensely charming quality that gives them a restrained romance - this gentle swagger, this kind of 'not competing' is precisely what makes them most arrogant...
Today’s project is also a little old-neighbourhood renovation: it began as a single earring left behind when the client lost one of a pair. The original was meant to be sent to us for gold trade-in, but when it arrived we thought the workmanship was rather beautiful, and melting it down would be a shame. So we used snakewood as a base and transformed it into a pendant. The wooden foundation supports the gold openwork gourd, accented with diamonds as the finishing touch. Worn at the neck, it is...
Eighty-eight facets create sensational fire, like two tiny bulbs hanging at the neck. Compared with traditional round brilliant-cut diamonds, which have only 57 or 58 facets, the queen cut can capture more light; the angles at which light enters and refracts have been precisely calculated, so when each layer reflects one another, the diamond’s brilliance multiplies.
Marquise diamond necklace, a model of everyday beauty - marquise diamonds are simple, yet never plain. The elegant cut adorns the collarbone.
The Buddha figure is carved in emerald green, its glass-like translucency seeming to lock Jiangnan mist and rain within the jade’s heart, the smiling eyes opening soft ripples of Zen in front of the chest. At the back, silver light gently opens; the twin covers fit together as if by intuition. The front is the compassionate warmth of jadeite’s generosity, while the back holds a private sentiment. One Buddha, one craft; one softness, one intensity - within this small space, Zen and jewellery presence...
18K gold casts a vintage dome, while layered gold rings stand like carved corridor columns in a Republican-era mansion, holding the Australian South Sea pearl’s mellow whiteness securely. The carved-gold back resembles the muted gold patterns on the opening pages of an old book; every trace of texture is infused with vintage Nanyang charm. When it hangs at the neck, it is the weight of gold shattering passing years, the vintage form awakening old dreams, and in the light and shadow, what flows is nothing but time...
Still the familiar plump shell necklace, this time joined by Miss Conch and Miss Starfish. At first the client said she loved the tiny shell at the end of the chain and asked whether another small shell could be added in the middle. I asked: does it have to be a shell? How about a conch, or a starfish? In the end it was an instant match ✌️ The round little conch and the slender starfish are each different...
As a tangible carrier of Tibetan culture, there is little need to rehearse the craftsmanship value of the dzi bead. What we want to achieve is the natural continuation of the dzi bead’s cultural DNA within modern jewellery. The diamond and turquoise setting is not merely decorative. In this pendant, the diamonds become supporting actors, allowing the brilliance of the gemstone to coexist harmoniously with the textures of metal, wood and dzi beads. Turquoise...
The pearl carries the natural blush of growth, while the surrounding coloured sapphires and spinels allow their fire to travel through the light. It is like the rainbow shimmer in a unicorn’s mane as it runs in legend. It is not flashy, yet it calls to mind the phrase 'appearing at the edge of a rainbow'. The dreamy unicorn palette echoes the pearl’s orient - the purity of white, the dream of blue...
This pendant is arranged with five diamonds in an offset composition. Worn on its own, the four diamonds are brilliantly radiant. The crisp silhouette allows it to take its place gracefully in any setting. Add pearls and it gains a little more elegance and intellectual poise. The open pendant shape gives it even more possibilities.
Who doesn’t have a few spare little odds and ends at home? They are woven into a crushed-diamond galaxy along the crescent curve, then turn into a leaping star core. Within that starry little twist lies a forgotten diamond, slowly smelted into the spell 'In the name of the moon, I’ll protect you' 🌙. It turns out that even the romance of little odds and ends can explode into a girlhood universe.
The pure texture of platinum wraps around the mellow softness of glass-type jadeite. The stars-all-over design glitters across the chest like a sky full of stars. On the back, the engraved hexagram symbolises protection and luck. Jadeite already carries auspicious meaning; the three elements woven together condense one’s hopes for life into a piece of jewellery. It is not only visual brilliance, but also a tender wish to be guarded and accompanied.
Cool white diamonds are wrapped in a thin frost-like light, while a slender platinum chain drops at the neck in a crisp curve. The bottle body is left unadorned, save for an exquisitely elegant neck at the opening, as though all complexity has been folded into silence. It rests on the collarbone with a touch of casual distance, neither chasing the light nor longing for anyone’s attention. As light passes over the shoulders of the bottle, the ripples...
As waves lap the shore, they carry shells up from the seabed to stroll along the sand. This vintage all-purpose clasp necklace uses a shell as its structure, with a 'mini shell surprise' hidden at the tail of the chain. Playfulness is wrapped in unspoken tenderness. Diamonds are set like starbursts into the shell’s texture, resonating with the shell pattern’s facets to produce the iridescence of a natural shell. The two-tone gold design brings vintage gold’s warmth together with white diamonds...
Sharing a delicate little accessory. To suit the clasp we wanted to hook onto, we chose a very simple shape: three little leaves in tri-colour gold. The woven-engraved gold technique gives the accessory texture without stealing the show. The pendant can be worn with an 18K gold necklace, or with a small pearl clasp. It can even be clipped directly onto a pearl, giving a distinctly...
A shimmering briolette-cut pineapple pendant. More than 8 carats of pineapple-cut pendant stone hang at the neck, and the clean, cool diamonds bring a touch of freshness to the hottest days of summer. Diamonds that sparkle like starlight add a sense of refinement to simple summer dressing.
The client originally told me: 'Make it a straight line.' When it was delivered, it was clearly a shawl from the galaxy. The diamonds at the side reflect brilliant radiance, repeatedly rippling with the shimmer of Yaochi. It seems like a flying apsara from Dunhuang, translucent in a glorious garment, graceful and effortless in her bearing. In the ethereal music, she looks down upon all things. So this is...
Icy jadeite carved into a peace pendant shape carries the gentle auspice of Eastern jade culture. A simple butter-gold 18K gold diamond ear clip does not overpower the piece. The butter-gold choice adds a little more attitude towards life. Where classical and modern meet, it becomes a fashionable interpretation of the traditional peace motif. It sways softly at the ear, holding the Eastern wisdom settled by time.
The classic and elegant 'parentheses' pendant is a common style in pearl pieces. The client asked for a little feminine decorative pattern on the side. A curling leaf is evenly dusted with diamond sand, making it both grand and refined.
This pearl’s colour is intensely rich. Simple lines and diamond accents at the tail tip, combined with a frosted metal finish, create something simple yet full of style.
This is a pair of conch pearl earrings. Large diamonds glitter beside the ear like stars, while at the centre the diamonds embrace richly coloured pink conch pearls. Luxury and romance arrive here in a deftly balanced harmony. Seen from afar, they are grand and opulent; up close, romantic and gentle. On the reverse we have added multi-use potential, allowing the client to adapt them according to everyday styling, by adding pearls or...
'Ruyi, ruyi, do as my heart desires, come into effect at once 🌄' - does anyone still remember whose line this was? 🤣 The shape, which resembles ∞, seems to share an uncanny coincidence with the line. The ∞ symbol is said to originate in Ancient Egypt, where it represented the ancient Egyptians’ worship of snakes. The inspiration for this series comes from the traditional Chinese auspicious ruyi knot. Compared with ∞...
How many possibilities can one centre stone have? Paired with bracelet components, it becomes a bracelet full of jewellery presence. Paired with necklace components, it becomes a highly distinctive choker. Could it even become a pendant or a ring? More possibilities are waiting to be discovered.
The ultimate collision of lapis lazuli and Meisong, with a vintage heavy-gold setting design that creates an immediate sense of luxury. Vintage, refined, and relaxed - it is surely the perfect summer styling piece. In stock and ready to ship.
What could be more suitable for summer than a white, tender mangosteen pendant?
When you do not know what style to make, why not enclose it in a mesh?
The plum vase is most appealing for its slender 'figure' and delicate mouth, like a classical beauty in a qipao. Its shoulders are broad, its waist is fine, and the whole silhouette is smooth and elegant, as though it were a poised woman radiating dignity and restraint. In the choice of metal colour, we did not use the traditional 18K gold or rose gold...
The matching ring to yesterday’s necklace. The setting is more understated than the necklace. There will always be women who insist they do not like diamonds. Yet many things simply do not become an obsession because they are not large enough. The fire of the 12 heart-shaped diamonds sparkles, as though gathering the purest light in the universe here. The centre stone, though only 1 carat, stands proudly at the centre, like the truest protagonist in my life - myself...
A pendant so beautiful I am almost speechless. There will always be women who insist they do not like diamonds. Yet many things simply do not become an obsession because they are not large enough. The fire of the 12 heart-shaped diamonds sparkles, as though gathering the purest light in the universe here. The centre stone, though only 1 carat, stands proudly at the centre, like the truest protagonist in my life - myself....
Sharing this on New Year’s Eve. This golden-pearl necklace was commissioned by the client as a New Year gift for her mother. We used gradient yellow sapphires to interpret the changing lustre of the phoenix feathers. Why say the phoenix belongs uniquely to China? In ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology, 'phoenix' is a divine bird. It is not the Chinese phoenix, but the immortal bird. It...
To be honest, I have always loved the stars-all-over design; it feels refined without trying too hard. But I have long felt that the market’s versions lacked real substance - those thin, hair-like chains tangle and break too easily. Only when a client asked for a stars-all-over necklace with real presence did we discuss many options, and the finished piece truly lived up to expectations. The craftsmanship...
Lagom is a philosophy from Sweden. It emphasises a lifestyle of moderation, balance and simplicity. It comes from a love of life, blending gentleness with fullness. It does not chase too much or too little, but through balance and restraint, one enjoys enough happiness and contentment. Four pearls are arranged on a platinum chain richly set with diamonds in 18K...
As promised, we will meet before the New Year. Because we changed factories, the overall finish has also been upgraded. Size is approximately 9.5 x 9 x 3. A layer of sponge has been added between the leather and the velvet to cushion and protect the jewellery better. The zip has also been changed to solid brass. Orders will be shipped out gradually. Holy Grail blue with agate blue, bubble green with bamboo green, rose purple...
The styling inspiration comes from Dalí's The Persistence of Memory. The front captures the moment when baby first meets this world. The back records baby’s very first footprint in the world. We made it with a universal clasp, so it can be worn as a necklace or as part of a bracelet. Every step of a child’s growth carries the love and hope of their parents. This footprint pendant...
A carefully selected Australian South Sea pearl of 16 mm+, with a satin-like metallic lustre, round and full, radiating an elegant high-end feel. 7.6 carats of diamonds are scattered like stars, shining brilliantly. Each stone has been carefully chosen, pure and bright, speaking of timeless allure. Lively, light diamonds are set on either side of the pearl, relaxed yet luxurious.
The client wanted a necklace that could be worn two ways. We took a classic design and added a more lively embellishment. Every time the pearls are detached and reconfigured, they express a different self - luxurious does not need to be complicated. With 7.5 g of gold and 2.65 carats of diamonds, paired with a clean and elegant style, the result is a hauntingly beautiful piece. In light and shadow...
Niche high-end jewellery is not just an accessory, but an extension of a free soul. Mirror-polished refinement meets the defiant spirit of Italian-imported leather cord, while the rippling lustre resembles moonlight reflected on water, glittering brilliantly. Alongside 7.3 g of gold, there is also the weight of the story that belongs uniquely to her. Tonight, let us have elegance and freedom - and let the moonlight listen to this freedom...
A last-minute commission from a week ago - a gift for the client’s mother-in-law to be given on National Day. With 14 g of gold and 3 carats of diamonds, it has real substance. The overall silhouette resembles a feather, yet also a phoenix crown. Grand and elegant in form, it is the perfect choice for attending banquets and weddings.
In France, the iris is the national flower. It is believed to symbolise light and freedom, and from the Merovingian dynasty to the Bourbon dynasty, the iris has long witnessed French knightly culture. Some also believe the shape of the iris represents the purity of the Virgin Mary, and the three tears she shed. We used Australian South Sea pearls together with the iris to create an interpretation that is close to perfect. The pendant...
