Shiatzy Chen

Hermes show a galloping success

Chinese designer teams with Swarovski

Founded by Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia in 1978, Shiatzy Chen has been described as the Coco Chanel of Taiwan. After establishing her expertise in silk, Wang has expanded her range to translating Chinese culture into jewelry.

This season, Wang has been inspired by China's "Four Treasures from the Study" — the scholar's brush, ink, paper and inkstone. An exquisite necklace, eye-catching even among 200 other glittering pieces on display, is reminiscent of the inkstone, as rose buds take the place of the carvings on the edge of the stone.

Style tips from Wang: "I always go for diamonds, their simple brilliance goes with almost everything. Crystals have a similar bling effect, and they offer even more possibilities for styling."
