Piggy Bank Pendant

After an eight years long exploration in motion picture, advertising, marketing and fine arts in the 90s, Dickson Yewn has finally found his path, a lesser traveled path in his attempt to express his idea of Oriental Beauty and philosophy: Contemporary Fine Jewelry. 

In year 2000, life of circle was founded. Using his new found medium, many forgotten beauties of China were re-interpreted through Yewn’s sensual vision of the Orient. From the Double Happiness collection, the Auspicious collection to the recently launched Piggy Bank collection, Yewn has captured the essence and the feminine side of the Chinese culture.

In 2005, life of circle had the honour or maybe a pure luckiness of winning an important honour: the Forbes Magazine best retail store in the world in the category of fine jewelry, beating all competitors of world renowned brands, placing us among other winning categories brands such as Hermès, Manolo Blahnik and Ralph Lauren in gifts, shoes and casual wear…etc.

In 2011, after the financial crisis, Yewn gave life of circle a brand new image, re-positioning herself back to a Luxury Fine Jewelry brand: an Asian Contemporary Luxury Jewelry brand with focus on Greater China culture and the common roots of Asia.

The story of the “Family” series begins with Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian meeting each other. Mr. Qian is a white porcelain piggy bank covered with coins, and Mrs. Qian is a rose-colored piggy bank adorned with ribbons. They met in 1960s Hong Kong, where they instantly fell in love and became inseparable. Today, the Qian family has grown to include 23 family members. The second generation of the Qian family has now spread across mainland China, Europe, and the United States. Each of the 23 piggy banks has its own unique appearance and pattern, representing different life experiences and personalities.

This series uses unique decoration methods to tell the story of a typical modern Chinese family, rich with the sentiment of the times.

In the West, pearls are often considered a luxury. However, as a representative of Chinese decorative arts, Yewn has integrated both sentiment and story into his designs. Each piece in the “Family” series symbolizes the Chinese people’s love for “home” and the importance of “family happiness.”
