Cindy Chao: The Art Jewel

The eponymous brand Cindy Chao: The Art Jewel opened its first showroom in 2004, motivated by the designer’s desire to break boundaries and redefine high jewelry. She believes that every piece of fine jewelry should be a miniature work of art, and she is dedicated to using the classic 18th century artisanal technique of crafting designs in wax before completing these intricate sculptures with precious metal and gemstones. Her two collections, the museum-calibre Black Label Masterpieces, and the White Label Collection, are much sought after by connoisseurs. Jewelry highlights include prestigious auctions exhibits at Beijing Today Art Museum, Tokyo Mori Art Museum, and Masterpiece London. Learn more at www.CindyChao.com.
