MAGNOLIA EARRING 2019

Titanium, gold and diamonds

As Richard Wu explains "With their upward-pointing shape and elegant fragrance, magnolia flowers represent loyal love, long-lasting friendship, and gratitude in Chinese culture. I chose them because, in the springtime of Shenzhen, you can see large magnolia flowers blooming. After enduring the cold winter, their early spring bloom is truly beautiful. However, I am more captivated by the flowers that remain strong after blooming and experience various hardships until they naturally decline. Just like a woman's beauty, beautiful in youth, but what truly moves me is what behind the surface, the enduring strength that developed over many years. So I chose the posture of the magnolia flower as it blooms and declines, and made this pair of earrings.”
