The work skillfully combines lilies with purple pearls, creating an exquisite jewel integrating traditional Chinese aesthetics and modern craftsmanship, bringing fresh inspiration and direction to the field of jewelry design.
Inspiration: Flowers Hand Scroll is a masterpiece in Chinese painting. Centered around the theme of flowers, it features various blossoming flowers, each with its own unique characteristics, to symbolize good fortune and longevity, and express the longing for a better life. Inspired by it, the brand incorporates the elements in the painting, like the lines, shapes and colors of flowers, into jewelry design, thus creating a work that strikes a balance between eastern traditional charm and modern aesthetics.
Project Duration: This work was designed in October, 2022 in Hangzhou, and launched in September, 2023 in China.
Operation Flow: The work artfully strings together lustrous purple pearls and elegant lilies, with radiant gemstones delicately adorning the center like flower stamens. When users wear the necklace, the lifelike lily design appears as if an elegant natural sprite was perched gracefully on the neck. Such an elegant and dynamic work is suitable for everyday wear, yet equally fitting as an accessory for evening events or special occasions, showcasing both elegance and uniqueness.
