Couture Jewelry For me, couture jewelry is the most delicate and one-of-akind design type in jewelry, with the highest quality of precious metals and stones. The gorgeous and ornamental decorative Rococo style perfectly fits my imagination and notion of couture jewelry. Inspired by the bows, ribbons, and the costumes' movement, I want to design a piece of dreamy and delicate jewelry in a contemporary way: a tiara. The design and making processes of this tiara show my solid metal fabrication skills as well as my artistic design aesthetics. STINA PORTFOLIO | 2022

Déjà vu is the feeling that one has lived through the present situation before. I hope this tiara can evoke the dreamlike scene that the wearer has had, or dreamed of, in the past.

Rendering with Alternative Materials

03 Contemporary Jewelry As a graduate student in jewelry, I am not only focused on experiencing precious metals, but also on conducting research on alternative materials. I think the use of alternative materials has increased the possibilities of jewelry design. STINA PORTFOLIO | 2022

Artist Statement Jewelry always serves me to explore the inner self. I express visually and tactually through hands to bring forward the mind. My works transmit personal experiences of making ultimately to evoke people’s curiosity and touch instinct and provoke the way to create a dynamic interaction in between wearer and viewer. In my art work, I aim to stimulate sensory interaction by using contrasting forms and materials or both simultaneously. Growing up in an agricultural university within a prosperous urban city of Guangzhou in China has impacted on me to perceive natural and industrial city in a different perspective. Even though these two types of landscapes seem hard to get along with, I never see separation but harmonious integration between them. I enjoy living in this shifting landscape, which also inspires me to explore jewelry as a communicative tool that brings visual and haptic quality through being contrasted with alternative materials.

Material Experimentation
Concrete is the main material I work in this series with since this is the most common but neglected material we see every day. For me, concrete is not austere and bland but a flexible and shape-able material. I manipulate it in my own way to challenge its softness, tactility, and transparency. Therefore, my concrete not only looks soft but also feels soft. The transition of material from coarse to soft also creates a transitional color saturation, which intrigues viewers to see and touch. Life is so hard, but jewelry is something that could bright up our lives. STINA PORTFOLIO | 2022

Hand Rendering Drawing by hand is the most direct way to express my ideas. I usually use colored pencils, water color, and SketchBook App for hand rendering. This series of renderings also includes some customized jewelry for customers.

When technology and digital rendering are quite efficient today, hand rendering is still the soul of couture jewelry design because of its artistic and humanistic values.
