The sea seen through the eyes of the Chinese designer Kelly Xie: many colors and a fairy tale ♦ ︎
In a few years Kelly Xie has conquered the international scene. His small Maison was founded in 2012 in Shanghai, China. Like other designers in the great Asian country, she decided to take the best from Western and Eastern traditions. In her style happily mix the forms codified by European jewelry in the last two centuries with a taste and, above all, the technique of Chinese tradition. It is no coincidence that Kelly Xie studied Chinese painting with its watercolor nuances and the classic enamel technique for a decade. But her jewels are painted above all with the use of colored stones. Very colorful, as it is in the oriental taste, sometimes a bit fairytale, in which they mix so many bright colors. One of her most representative collections is Sea. The sea is mainly interpreted through its manifestations: shells and anemones that seem moved by the waves and a small siren. Yellow and white gold, diamonds, sapphires, tourmalines, garnets and golden baroque pearls are the tools used for the Kelly Xie collection. Rudy Serra
