Kumo Ring II

£15,000

Description: The Kumo Ring II takes the swirling cloud formations of Chinese and Japanese woodblock prints as its point of departure — those stylised, billowing forms that suggest movement held in suspension. The band’s undulating silhouette follows this rhythm, rising and receding around the finger in continuous, unhurried motion. At its centre sits a 1.63ct emerald-cut Australian parti sapphire, its shifting tones catching light differently at every angle.

Lead time of 3-4 weeks.

Eliz Fan explores the relationship between imagery, memory, and personal identity through jewellery — objects that accompany the body through time, holding emotional meaning and cultural memory in form and material. Of Taiwanese heritage, born and raised in Hong Kong, now based in London, Fan brings a lived experience of cultural intersection to her practice. Her Masters in Jewellery & Metal at the Royal College of Art refined a technical language precise enough to hold the weight of that history — work that is quiet in its execution, exacting in its intention. Central to this practice are philosophies rooted in East Asian thought: wabi-sabi, the appreciation of imperfection and transience, and ichigo ichie, the awareness that every moment is singular and unrepeatable. These ideas shape an approach to making that values the quiet, the incomplete, and the overlooked — worn surfaces, natural structures, the softness of things that resist resolution. Themes of calmness, solitude, vulnerability, and reflection run through the work. Each piece emerges from an attentiveness to small, raw beauties: the kind that exist beneath everyday life rather than above it. The practice also holds the meeting of East and West — where traditional Chinese and Japanese ornamental languages are drawn through personal perspective and lived experience. Historical patterns and dreamlike imagery are not reproduced but inhabited, allowed to exist in a contemporary and intimate context.
