Wendy Yue’s flower-shaped jewels have enchanted Moda Operandi ♦ ︎
Those who have never been to Hong Kong, but know Wendy Yue’s artisan jewelry, can imagine that the Asian city is a species of Earthly Paradise. Flowers and leaves grow lush, the colors shine in the clear air. Hong Kong, instead, has another kind of charm, but not the one related to flora. The designer, however, manages to imagine a private garden, with plants not exactly similar to those found in nature and, perhaps for this reason, even more fascinating.
Imaginative cocktail rings, bracelets and earrings are made of precious and colored stones that form a non-replicable world. This is also why his unique pieces of jewelry are prey to collectors who do not let them escape. As evidenced by the recent trunk show on Moda Operandi, which saw Wendy Yue’s jewelry go sold out. But of course, like all the flowers, the jewels of the Chinese designer will also grow back. Cosimo Muzzano
