Ling never planned any of it. She left her office job, joined some ladies for line dancing, and slowly found herself at the front of the room — a student who became a teacher almost by accident. Watching her begin again, later than most and braver than all of us, taught me it's never too late to become someone new.

A circular chalcedony pendant with a serpent coiled upon it — a symbol of renewal, continuity, and quiet strength.

Ling is my second mother, and I mean that plainly. She took me to buy my first school uniform, walked me through the small, awkward milestones of growing up, sat me down and taught me how to put on makeup. In our family the big love arrives quietly, in errands and small lessons — and most of mine came from her.

Polished S925 sterling silver, engraved on both sides with 平安 (Peace) and 喜乐 (Joy) — made to be worn every day, close to you, the way her steadiness always was.

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” — Philippians 4:7

She's migrated to Sweden now, choreographs her own routines, and still teaches — lately picking up traditional Chinese dance in Stockholm. Years pass and she simply doesn't stop blooming.

Deep jade crowned with a V of crystals in gold plating — dainty, quietly strong, made for a woman who keeps flourishing wherever she's planted.

“Let them praise his name with dancing.” — Psalm 149:3

Ling has always had an eye — for fashion, for form, for how a thing should look and feel. She once dreamed of becoming a fashion designer, and quietly I hope that dream finds its way here: that one day she'll sit beside me and design pieces for Thousand Gold herself. Some of the best collaborations are just waiting for the right moment.

A flowing teardrop jade, cherished for its quiet strength and enduring grace.

There's a nobility to Ling that has nothing to do with status — a gentle, unshakeable dignity that fills a room without ever raising its voice.

A softly luminous teardrop jade framed with floral accents and cubic zirconia — quiet nobility, effortlessly timeless.

“Let your beauty be… the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.” — 1 Peter 3:3–4

A calm presence in clean lines — cool to the touch, steady to the eye. Aventurine is known as a stone of prosperity and emotional balance, often associated with attracting new opportunities and supporting the heart chakra. It’s believed to calm the heart, release emotional tension, and invite steady growth and compassion.

Radiant and unapologetic, Leo shines naturally. The lion and its constellation speak of courage, presence, and a heart that leads. You know that one friend who needs 300 photos of the same pose and still says “wait one more”? That’s Leo. Made for the ones who were born to be seen.

Bold and unwavering, Aries moves with instinct and fire. The ram stands at the front, while its constellation rests quietly behind — a mark of fearless beginnings. You know that one friend who would go to jail for you... and not even regret it? That’s Aries. Made for the ones who choose violence, but make it cute.

Independent and forward-thinking, Aquarius moves to its own rhythm. The water bearer and constellation symbolize originality and boundless ideas. You know that one friend who gives you life advice… but only in riddles? That's Aquarius. Made for the ones who turn mystery into magnetism.

Gentle and intuitive, Pisces drifts between reality and dream. The twin fish and constellation speak of imagination, empathy, and quiet depth. You know that one friend who floats through life... and leaves a trail of people who are helplessly in love with them? That's Pisces. Made for the ones who spread magic like it's contagious.

Curious and ever-evolving, Gemini lives between two worlds. The twin symbol paired with its constellation captures wit, movement, and duality. You know that one friend who can party with punks, study with nerds, hang out with gang members… and then have brunch with cops? That's Gemini. Made for the ones who fit in everywhere and somehow run the show.

In a small-town ski resort called Rusutsu in Japan, the fresh powder snow had just veiled the three mountains — it was my first time feeling that coldness beneath my feet. I loved how tranquil the area was. That night over dinner, Pei and I unexpectedly met Dustin Hoffman, who was there skiing with his friends — a star-struck moment, especially knowing him as the voice actor of Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda. It felt like the icing on the cake. This refined piece mirrors that night, with a super star resting above the pearl-coloured mountains — designed to celebrate and cherish those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

达斯汀·霍夫曼在ルスツ (Dá Sī Tīng · Huò Fū Màn zài Rusutsu)

在日本的小镇滑雪度假村ルスツ，粉雪刚刚覆盖了三座山峰——这是我第一次感受到雪在脚下的冰冷。这个地方的宁静让我很喜欢。那天晚上吃晚餐时，我和佩意外遇到了Dustin Hoffman，他是和朋友们一起来滑雪的——一个令人心动的时刻，尤其想到他还是《功夫熊猫》中师傅的配音，简直像锦上添花。这款精致的珠宝正是对那晚的致敬，明亮的星星悬在珍珠色的山峰之上——设计用来庆祝和珍藏那些难得一遇的瞬间。

Whatever room Ling is in, there's more life in it. Decades of dancing haven't dimmed her — if anything she's more alive now, more herself.

Light green jade representing growth and “qi,” life energy, with three stones like a refreshing spring rain.

A few years post-graduation, Pei brought me on her snowboarding trip with her friends from Hong Kong. I was nursing a bad breakup, so I was pretty silent that entire trip. But the view of Lake Toya was so serene and memorable. It was my first time soaking in an onsen after snowboarding, which was the moment of quiet reflection that fuelled my love for snowboarding ever since. This piece pairs a luminous pearl with a delicate crystal butterfly, reflecting transformation after hardship while letting the lightness of your spirit shine through. Refined yet playful, it’s perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.

洞爷湖温泉 (Dòng Yé Hú Wēn Quán)

大学毕业几年后，佩带我和她从香港来的朋友一起去滑雪。我那次正经历一场失恋，所以整个旅程里都很沉默。但洞爷湖的景色如此宁静而难忘。那是我第一次在滑雪后泡温泉，这段安静的时光也激发了我对滑雪的热爱，一直延续至今。这件作品以一颗光泽温润的珍珠搭配精致的水晶蝴蝶，象征经历挫折后的蜕变，同时让心灵的轻盈与明亮得以绽放。优雅中带着俏皮，既适合日常佩戴，也适合特别时刻。

Ours is a family that was provided for, generously, and taught to pass that on. Ling learned early how to make sure everyone around her had enough — and never made a show of it.

A warm yellow gourd-shaped chalcedony pendant with 福 — the gourd a long-loved symbol of blessings and abundance.

Some memories are made not by the movie itself, but by the company. A day spent with a beloved niece turned into an unexpected movie marathon, featuring two films that could not have been more different. One was bright, playful and full of colour, while the other was thoughtful and intense.

Inspired by that shared experience, this piece captures the cheerful pink tones of Barbie while carrying the memory of a day spent together. Sometimes, the most memorable pairings are the ones that make the least sense on paper.

Back in 2013, a 5km Color Run around Sentosa became less of a run and more of a leisurely walk shared between sisters. There was no rush to reach the finish line, only colourful clouds, easy conversations and the simple joy of spending time together. Some memories stay with us not because of where they happened, but because of who we shared them with. Made with vibrant African beads, this collection celebrates companionship, laughter and the people who make every journey a little brighter.

A stroll along Shanghai's Bund once inspired a quiet wish while looking out across the city lights. Years later, a return to the very same waterfront brought a different chapter, proving that life rarely unfolds exactly as imagined. What remains special are the moments shared with the people who walk beside us through every version of the story. Featuring soft pink quartz, this piece reflects hope, possibility and the unexpected ways happiness finds us.

One winter evening at Mammoth Lakes, a trip to the natural hot springs turned into an unforgettable night beneath a sky filled with shooting stars. Everything felt perfect except for one small detail, a forgotten pair of glasses. The Milky Way appeared only as a blur, yet somehow the memory remained just as magical. Made with white quartz, this piece is a reminder that some of life's most beautiful moments are not remembered for their perfection, but for the sense of wonder they leave behind.

Somewhere along the trip, churros with thick chocolate became a small habit, something familiar yet different in a new place that made it feel slower and more meaningful.

This necklace is made of stainless steel, and the ribbon is made of brass and spray painted. Available in blue and turquoise.

There were nights when everything ended with a simple bowl of hot and sour soup, something small but comforting after long days in a place that never quite felt familiar. It was never home, but it became a quiet moment that made everything feel a little softer. Carrying that sense of warmth in unfamiliar places, this necklace is made with natural freshwater pearls and amazonite stone, symbolizing comfort, softness, and moments that slowly begin to feel like home.

A dream catcher for change and new paths. African turquoise is known as a stone of evolution, growth, and new beginnings. Believed to encourage positive transformation, it supports confidence during times of change and invites fresh perspectives. Woven into a dream catcher design, this piece quietly cradles unsettled thoughts, helping the mind stay calm and clear from nightmares — perfect for embracing new beginnings with a peaceful heart.

One of the perks of having an older (and wealthier) sister is that I get to stay at awesome ryokans. Nestled in the heart of the onsen town was the adorable Boun Kusatsu, where milky waters steamed into the crisp air and everything felt hushed, warm, and serene. This piece features a luminous pearl resting at the centre, radiating a gentle sense of calmness, encircled by delicate crystals that shimmer like ripples across onsen waters — like being tucked away in a place where time slows and everything feels at ease.

ぼううん くさつ (Bōun Kusatsu)

年长（也更富有）的姐姐带来的一个小福利，就是我总能住进那些很棒的日式旅馆。坐落在温泉小镇中心的 ぼううん くさつ (Bōun Kusatsu) 格外可爱——乳白色的温泉水在清冷的空气中氤氲升腾，四周静谧、温暖而安然。

这件作品以一颗温润的珍珠为中心，散发着柔和的宁静气息，周围点缀着细致晶石，如同温泉水面泛起的层层涟漪——仿佛将人轻轻安放在一个时光放慢、万物皆安的角落。

Bamboo is Ling exactly: it bends through every storm and refuses to break. She's the most resilient person I know, and the most rooted.

A jade piece in the spirit of bamboo — longevity, integrity, and the promise of continual growth.
