1. Building Beauty With Cindy Chao
Rethinking the divisions between classic and contemporary, art and jewellery, the most sought-after creations by Cindy Chao The Art Jewel are its museum-calibre Black Label Masterpieces. A necklace, four brooches and two bangles make up the latest additions to the line, and draw inspiration from two seminal figures in Chao’s life – her father and grandfather.
The Emerald Architectural necklace, for example, references the iconic Asian temples crafted by the designer’s grandfather. A feat of intricate engineering, a magnificent pair of Colombian emeralds, striking yellow diamond, connected by the organic twists of 10,000 vivid green emerald beads.
