The Cloisonné collection continues the fineness and delicacy of Chinese aesthetics by interpreting the imperial Cloisonné craftsmanship with contemporary jewelry design.

The Qing dynasty Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722), a great lover of the arts, admired the new glass compound enamel colours coming from Eu- rope. These new colours were known as ‘Western colours’ in the Qing court and to master their techniques, Emperor Kangxi set up an enamel workshop in 1700 overseen by the Imperial workshop in Beijing and the former Limo- ges enameller and Jesuit Jean-Baptiste Gravereau (Chen Zhongxin), who was to play such a decisive role in achieving Kangxi’s goal.

Using the classical Lattice collection as blueprint, YEWN’s brand new Floral.Lattice collection combines this venerable architectural art form with beautiful sights of rivers and mountains to create this masterpiece.

The peony, the flower of wealth and honor, is the symbol of prosperity in Chinese culture. The peony’s large petals and showy color make it “The King of Flowers”.

In the Manchu language, “Abkai Wehiyehe” means “ Blessed by the Heavens” and was the name of Qing Dynasty emperor Gaozong, whose reign was called Qianlong. Born in 1711 and passing away in 1799, his life spanned much of the Eighteenth century.
