Press Kit

Unique Properties: The Liang Xing brand combines traditional Chinese culture with contemporary design concepts. The current Dunhuang collection draws inspiration from Chinese filigree inlay craftsmanship and incorporates the image of flying asparas from Cave 320 of the Mogao Caves in its jewelry design. In the jewelry-making process, Liang Xing combines digital technology with intangible cultural heritage. The team employs high-precision 3D modeling alongside traditional manual filigree inlay techniques to craft the shapes and patterns of their jewelry. Unlike many current jewelry brands, Liang Xing approaches each design with an artistic and archaeological mindset. This commitment promotes Chinese art, intangible heritage, and contemporary Chinese design on a global stage.

Production Technology: The overall shape of the jewelry uses jewelry-level 3D printing and modeling techniques. The jewelry pattern incorporates one of China's intangible cultural heritages, the eight masterpieces of Beijing, the filigree inlay art.
Design Challenge: The art of filigree inlay in China was primarily utilized on flat surfaces. In the Dunhuang collection, the jewelry shapes are all three-dimensional, making it challenging to incorporate filigree inlay patterns into the designs. After conducting three-dimensional testing, Liang Xing integrated the filigree pattern into the three-dimensional surfaces of the jewelry to enhance its overall design. All jewelry in Liangxing is crafted with full three-dimensional construction and is guaranteed to look appealing from any angle.
Research: The design aesthetic logic of the Liangxing has three keywords: implicit, elegant, and historic. The brand wishes to combine China's intangible cultural heritage with Chinese history. The Dunhuang series Liang Xing is working on now is based on Cave 320 Mogao Grottoes. Cave 320 is one of the representative caves of the Prime Tang Dynasty, and it’s got a lot of classic images of flying apsaras. Take the “Black Flying Apsaras” (Flying Apsaras Scattering Flowers) on the south wall, for example. It has been described by the Dunhuang Academy as “the most beautiful flying asparas in Dunhuang murals”. The design team of Liang Xing expresses the ribbon on the flying asparas of Dunhuang in a way that captures the dynamic beauty of the ribbon and the charm of Dunhuang art with refined curves. Liang Xing hopes to bring Chinese culture and aesthetics to the world in the language of contemporary design.
Inspiration: The Dunhuang jewelry collection by Liang Xing translates the visual elements of the Dunhuang Mogao Cave 217 and Cave 320, China, into wearable jewelry. It was inspired by the ribbons and flying figures in Tang Dynasty murals in Dunhuang, China.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2023 in Beijing and finished in October 2024 in Beijing. The Dunhuang Collection was shown in Beijing Fashion Week in September 2024. The Dunhuang collection was displayed at the Diplomatic Shop in February 2025 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China.
Operation Flow: Liang Xing believes that jewelry not only decorates the body but also serves as a vehicle to evoke cultural memories. The design language of the Dunhuang series is inspired by the Buddhist visual culture of China's Tang Dynasty. Liang Xing emphasizes a verifiable visual expression, and while offering jewelry products, we also share a rich history that spans centuries.
