About Herism ジュエリーコレクション
Herismは、リング、イヤリング、ブレスレット、ブローチで構成されるジュエリーコレクションです。1960年代から1970年代にかけて中国で橋や道路を建設した女性労働隊が使用していた作業道具に着想を得ています。大胆なフォルムと工業的な構造がその時代を想起させる一方、しなやかなチェーンは今日の女性が担う多様な社会的役割を表現しています。各作品はシルバーに金メッキを施し、ラボグロウン宝石を爪を用いずにセッティングしています。Herismは、女性の強さと、より持続可能な購買のあり方を象徴することを意図しています。

The research showed the potential of the group of target market and the sustainable purchase behaviour in jewellery market. All the research promoted the development of the project and completed the project in the academic way.
- Inspiration
- All the design ideas are inspired from the working tools used by the 1960s –1970s all women manual work brigades who helped build the bridges and roads that are the foundations of modern industrialised China. This jewellery collection offers new symbols of female power and self-determination, encouraging the contemporary young generation, Fan's peers, to pursue their personal values bravely.

In 2020, the project was invited to participate the opening exhibition in An+ Art&Design Museum Shenzhen, "Living Fantasy Young Designer Exhibition", by China Design Centre. The production was finished in China.
- Operation Flow
- Based on the historical background of Chinese iron girls in 1970s. It was a turning point that Chinese female started to get involve into workplace. The design combines the past (stone setting without prongs, bold shape, industrial structure evokes wearers the powerful and tough attitude of iron girls) and the present (flexible chains reflect multi social roles of female). It emphasises the experience and value of iron girls and bridges with the new iron girls. The jewellery for them is the symbol of female power.
