While much of the attention paid to China's emerging young designers tends to lean towards the apparel market, the country's up-and-coming fine jewelry makers too are showing a keen eye for design. Among the handful of rising stars on the "designed-in-China" high-end jewelry scene is Central Saint Martins-educated, award-winning designer
He Fang#
(何方). Working in 18K gold, Swarovski crystals, silver and white gold, He creates designs both whimsical and classic, with designs inspired by everything from snowflakes to stars.
Affordably priced in the 1,100-2,200 yuan (US$177-353) range, He's pieces -- including some exclusives -- are available at one of our favorite multi-brand retailers, Dong Liang Studio.
