 WAN BAOBAO (万宝宝)
A well-known “red princess” (so called because her grandfather, Wan Li, was a vice premier and later chairman of the National People’s Congress, and her father is also a high level government Minister). Since founding her eponymous jewelry brand, Bao Bao Wan, back in 2007, Wan has emerged as one of China’s most notable up-and-coming high-end jewelry designers. Fueled by her personality and knack for design — and helped by her well-placed socialite and celebrity friends — the profile of Bao Bao Wan Fine Jewellery has risen steadily in recent years.
With designs influenced in equal measures by her childhood in Beijing and later travels in Paris and New York, Wan hopes to go beyond the at times exaggerated “Chinese-ness” seen among some Hong Kong and mainland China jewelry brands as well as over-the-top attempts at “fusion.” Rendering traditional Chinese symbols like Buddhist pagodas, Ming vases, paper fans in rose gold, diamonds and sapphires, Wan insists that her aim is to create “wearable art.”

 MICHELL ONG
Carnet is a fine art jeweller, currently designing by appointment only, established in 1985 by Hong Kong native Michelle Ong and business partner Avi Nagar. Each piece of jewellery is individually sketched and allocated gemstones, before being produced for each client in the Hong Kong atelier, open since 2003.
The designer, Ms. Ong, combines influences from both the east and the west, to produce designs that are a powerful statement of her creative output. She served an apprenticeship in the diamond industry and – with no formal training in design – began to create jewellery for herself because she could never find pieces she desired and wanted to wear.

 WALLACE CHAN
Hong Kong native, Wallace Chan, began his career as a sculptor, spending his youth mastering Eastern sculpture and the Western art of gemstones. In the mid 1980s he invented the “Wallace Cut” – a carved image using reflective techniques that resemble that of cameos, intaglios and gem faceting.
Throughout his career he has continued to work as both sculptor and jewellery designer, most notably launching a series of fine jewellery featuring titanium as the key element of the collection, at Baselworld in 2007. Mr. Chan continues to experiment with faceting techniques, lighting, colours, metallurgy and ergonomics and is widely regarded as one of the most innovative jewellers in China.

Kai-Yin Lo is globally recognized as one of the first Chinese designers to successfully break into the international market. The International Herald Tribune has called her a pioneer in jewelry design, for bringing semi-precious stones into the mainstream. In 2007, she was named the “World’s Leading Chinese Designer” by the Hong Kong Design Centre, recognized to be the most important award for designers of Chinese nationality.
Kai-Yin Lo believes that jewelry should be a part of life, not a mere decoration or status symbol.
Kai-Yin Lo takes the iconic forms of Chinese antiquity and reinvents them in contemporary, highly wearable jewelry that reflect central ideas of Chinese culture, past and present. Her collections frequently reference such favorite icons as the infinity knot, a Buddhist symbol of good luck; the lingzhi, China’s “magic mushroom” representing immortality and life force; and the circular bi design that has evoked the cosmos from ancient times. The designs of Kai-Yin Lo synthesize East and West in a style that reflects the excitement and possibilities of a global culture.
