Can you share your jewellery philosophy with us?
M: I believe in “design with heart, craft it with soul and focus on every detail”. Creating jewellery is a very delicate work as even a 1 mm deviation in any part can make a huge difference in the design.

What is the most treasured item in your personal jewellery collection?
M: It is a 106.9ct crystal opal with exceptional natural form and play-of-color, which I designed in 2014 and is currently being made by our jewellery master.

M: The ancient gold jewellery making techniques, like granulation and filigree inlaying.

M: Where artistic vision transpires, the imagination forever inspires. Through geometric expanses, patterns and palette, we have created a maze of abstract artistry - our latest high jewellery collection 2016 “Le Labyrinthe Artistique” is inspired by the great abstract artists like Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, Josef Albers, Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder.

M: “Bespoke” is getting more popular with tiny jewellery being more desirable and has become a global trend because it can be easily mixed and matched to bring out its individuality in different styles.

What is the basic element in designing jewellery?
M: Keep the balance in the material, craftsmanship and creativity.

Can you describe a design process?

1. We often have hundreds of ways to express the creative ideas so it is important to think about what we really want and plan it well.
2. After we are clear with the design direction, we can start searching around the world to collect the most suitable gemstones in terms of color, shape, size, luster, rarity and other specific criteria. It usually takes around 6-9months for us to do so.
3. Meanwhile, we will start working on the rough sketch.
4. Once all materials are confirmed, we can have a final adjustment on layouts and designs with precise measurements. Then we will discuss with the craftsmen on every details of the design before production.
