WANG CHIN-LIN Spring brings the best with singing birds and blooming flowers. To be offered by Tiancheng International are two nature-inspired jewels by the Taiwanese designer, Wang Chin-lin: an “orchid” brooch and a “bird” bangle. The “bird” bangle is modeled as jaunty birds resting on intertwined branches, while the brooch is inspired by the graceful beauty of orchids, a symbol of gentleman’s virtue in Chinese culture. Some orchid species are endangered as their habitats in the wild are threatened by human destruction. This enchanting piece depicts Wang’s wistful longing to see orchids blossom in the wild, echoing Spring Dawn, a poem by Tang poet Meng Haoran to glorify the beauty of spring yet with regret for the rotting of spring blooms by overnight storm.
