New – SHOU Red

Celebrate Fall with Warm, Radiant Colors in Sterling Silver Jewelry….
At Our New Shanghai Store Location

One of the most well-known Chinese idioms says that, ‘If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come’. This fall we are ‘bringing in the new’, adding a bright new line of jewelry to our ‘Xina’ collection featuring the Chinese character “Shou”. The collection includes an eye-catching pendant, exquisite earrings, and a striking glass bracelet, all of which come in vibrant hues of wine red and sea spray blue.
These new ‘Shou Red’ pieces incorporate the ancient Chinese character symbolizing happiness and long life. In Imperial China, the symbol “Shou” was used in clothing and jewelry worn by the great Emperors, and even today the elegant character evokes memories of opulence and luxury.
You can find the new ‘Shou Red’ collection at our new Shanghai location: the recently renovated Tianzifang Building No. 9 boutique mall, on Taikang Rd. Lane 210 or at our online boutique.

P.S. Check out our other new items on our website, including our delicious new Chocolate-Gold Biwa Pearl and Chocolate Gold Coin necklaces.

You can order now!

Exactly 7 years ago we started to sell our jewellery designs in a 15 square meter warehouse on a parking lot of Taikang Road. At that time, Taikang Road was Shanghai’s ‘old’ art district where one would find a wide range of Chinese calligraphies and traditional ink paintings.

It was also home to a tight community of small independent foreign designers and artists. Over the course of a few years, the area flourished and became a new centre for the arts, crafts and design in Shanghai. We moved from the warehouse to a nice loft style showroom in one of the main lanes of what came to be known as Tian-zi-fang. Read the rest of this entry »
