In the all-black Look, the pair of natural diamond earrings near Meow’s ears are particularly eye-catching. This pair of earrings is not from the familiar international brands, but from CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel. The founder of the brand is Cindy Chao, a well-known jewelry designer from Taiwan, China.
Recently, Ni Ni, who officially announced the brand ambassador of CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel, has recently worn CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel regardless of whether it is a magazine or a red carpet. For example, this Bazaar cover picture SO sister especially likes, silver hair color with a ribbon-like natural diamond necklace, you can feel the fairy air and the sense of future technology.
From the perspective of jewelry design, Cindy Chao’s jewelry modeling is dominated by ribbons, plants and butterflies, with agile posture and an oriental charm. In fact, for a long time, the right to speak in the fashion circle, including the jewelry field, is in the hands of Westerners. It seems that they have the final say on what is popular and what is advanced. However, in recent years, a group of outstanding jewellery designers in China, with their unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, have gradually let everyone see designs that belong to the Chinese style on the international stage.
With excellent design standards, coupled with extraordinary international reputation, Cindy Chao has also been endorsed by international official agencies repeatedly before. The Natural Diamond Association has specially published a collection of the most influential Chinese female jewelry designers (https://onlynaturaldiamonds .com.cn/style-innovation/0002021027/), Cindy Chao is one of them.
In 2004, Cindy Chao established the jewelry brand CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel of the same name. Its works are favored by collectors from all over the world due to their exquisite craftsmanship and excellent artistry. They frequently appear in jewelry auctions such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s, and are also included in the National Nature Store. Collections of the historical museum, and its grand debut in important exhibitions such as the Paris Antique Biennale and TEFAF Maastricht Art Fair.

Natural diamonds are the protagonist in its design-magnificent 10ct red diamonds inlaid to form the body of the butterfly; yellow diamonds are discharged from the stone shop The slender wing veins on the butterfly wings; irregular diamond rough slices inlaid in the center of the wings, like lifelike lepidopterous wings, exuding full of vitality.
Cindy Chao’s jewelry not only conforms to the aesthetics of the Chinese people, but also has been favored by many European and American stars. At the 2019 Oscars ceremony, Julia Roberts wore CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel’s most iconic natural diamond jewelry unveiling ceremony, and was also named the best jewelry dress of the night.
Because of the influence of the architect’s grandfather and the sculptor’s father’s family studies, Cindy Chao’s jewelry always presents a three-dimensional aesthetic like a sculptural building. She breaks the shackles of metal and makes natural diamonds more transparent and shining. Jewelry is like miniature sculpture, with scattered light and shadow and very three-dimensional.
Another designer from Taiwan, Anna Hu, Hu Yinfei was born in a family of gem dealers, and his dizziness also inspired her extraordinary talents in jewelry creation. Anna Hu has learned cello performance since childhood, so music has become an important source of her creation.

The most eye-catching one is a natural Fancy Intense Yellow weighing 100.02ct. Yellow diamond, this necklace can also be converted into a brooch to wear.
Due to cultural differences, the design concepts of Eastern and Western designers are also very different. In terms of styling, the West pays more attention to appearance and color, while the East pays more attention to meaning. In terms of material selection, Western designers prefer to combine different gemstones to make jewelry look complex and gorgeous, while domestic designers prefer the “white space” in oriental art, which can express a sense of luxury even with simple natural diamonds. Coupled with the gradual rise of the concept of “national tide” in recent years, the combination of local culture and trend has become the most popular trend in natural diamond jewelry nowadays.
In addition to those independent designer brands, in fact, many domestic jewelry brands have always incorporated Chinese elements into their product designs. For example, Xie Ruilin’s zodiac series uses natural diamonds to outline the unique Chinese zodiac. These animal elements are not very realistic, and a complete shape can be presented only through the outline of some lines. Imagine if the necklace was really made into a complete realistic cow, it would appear clumsy.
In recent years, the Forbidden City Cultural and Creative has also launched many cross-border items. This jewellery co-operated with Chow Tai Fook not only conforms to the aesthetics of modern people, but also has a classic charm. The jewellery shape is inspired by ancient folding fans. “Fan” and “good” are homophonic, and they also have the meaning of “kindness” and “good deeds”. Floating streamer on the fan of precious stones, and then outline a simple outline with natural diamonds, turning the quaint charm into a modern style, interpreting the modern and simple style.
Qeelin’s jewelry also uses a lot of Chinese elements to create. For example, the Wulu series earrings worn by Liu Shishi are very popular. Jewelry is presented in the shape of a gourd, which means “Fu Lu” in China and is made of natural diamonds and other materials. It has a good meaning and a simple and fashionable style. No wonder the stars can’t put it down.
In fact, the unique and unique Chinese style has also attracted the attention of many foreign big-name designers, who use this as a source of inspiration to create a lot of luxurious jewelry. For example, this necklace by Harry Winston is inspired by cheongsam and made of natural diamonds. The whole necklace is like the stand-up collar of a cheongsam, and the decorative shape of the front end of the necklace echoes the buckle part of the cheongsam, highlighting the feminine femininity.
Cartier cleverly used natural diamonds to outline the shape of the dragon head at the junction of the necklace. As one of the four spirit totems in Chinese culture, the legend of the dragon has a history of about 8,000 years. As long as you see the dragon totem, you will naturally think of the mysterious Eastern culture.
Nowadays, “National Tide” has penetrated into many fields, and more and more consumers, especially the younger generation of consumers, are full of enthusiasm for Chinese design elements, which also shows that everyone has a sense of identity and pride in local culture. Natural diamond jewelry has also become a daily consumption product for many people. If designers and brands can find a balance between traditional culture and trends, they may be able to successfully land ashore in this wave!
