Chinese Jewellery Designers on our Radar

Chinese Jewellery Designers on our Radar

Out of curiosity we did a search for Chinese jewellery designers. When the term ‘luxury jewellery’ is mentioned, the general perception is that European or American brands have cornered the market. 

Which is why we were pleasantly surprised to discover some up-and-coming and also established Chinese designers/ brands infusing cultural heritage and sensibilities into their designs and products. Some have even incorporated special craft-making techniques in the making of their jewellery.
