The high jewelry is sometimes so high that you can not see: it is reserved to few lucky who can enter the private rooms of the Maison. It is therefore a fortune when, as happened in the Louvre, are shown one hundred pieces of unique and extraordinary jewelry. But the surprise was also another: the exhibits were of a unique young designer Anna Hu. The honor and responsibility to show own work a few meters from that of Leonardo da Vinci and his associates, has not shaken the enterprising jeweler Sino-American, who created, among other things, a bracelet and ring for Gwyneth Paltrow Academy Awards a couple of years ago. But, apart from the color notes, it are even more surprising her jewelry. The Anna Hu Orpheus emerald ring was sold for more than $ 2 million at a Christie’s auction in Hong Kong: a world record for a contemporary Chinese artist jewelry. And to say that Anna Hu was a cellist and has also played with the famous Yo-Yo Ma. But a shoulder injury has hampered his chances of becoming a senior musician (his favorite musics are the Rachmaninoff concerts for piano 1, 2, 3 and the classical Beethoven’s ninth). Hu has so studied jewelry design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and followed a masteralla Columbia University. He has opened its first boutique in New York Plaza Hotel in 2008, followed by its flagship store in Shanghai. So from cello turned to rings and bracelets, and she entered in the elite of the great jewelers. Margherita Donato
