Master holds a precious butterfly and tells an ancient Chinese legend about two lovers who could not be together in life, but died before they met each other, becoming … butterflies. Even today in China, these fragile creatures, though sad, but a symbol of true love.
Wallace Chan – professional and pioneer in the jewelry business, he has gained recognition among the European aesthetes. Wallace Chan’s creativity is beyond understanding – how he makes his beautiful jewelry, and how it should be worn. And is this applied art, or most expensive art objects? Wallace Chan is one of those rare jewelry masters who does not skimp on сarats. Indeed, his necklaces just explode abundance of stones. The cost of collection is estimated to 230 million euros, one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) in the world. His beautiful jewelry art is sold at auctions and exhibited in the best museums, and hunted by collectors.
Chan makes his things with the addition of titanium gold items. It can be subtle veining on the wings of butterflies or flashes of yellow light in the song “Birth of Light.” Titan, despite its appeal – the ease, flexibility, the ability to change color when heated – metal extremely treacherous. Not every jeweler can boast ability to work with it.
Hong Kong jeweler is exotic, like his work: the eastern face with slanting wise eyes, long, graying beard, colorful clothes in the traditional style. For the Europeans, he is more like a spiritual teacher of the Shaolin Temple than a jeweler.
“Through my every jewel, I’m telling a unique story about the beauty of the eastern “Zen” and traditional jewelry. As a representative of the Chinese art, I hope to bring to the world the essence of Eastern philosophy and Chinese culture. My jewelry is designed to initiate a fruitful dialogue between cultures”, says Wallace Chan famous jewelry designer.
