Stunning line of handmade jewellery by Chao-Hsien Kuo

Enchanting Finland is a stunning line of handmade jewellery made by designer Chao-Hsien Kuo. Delicate and ethereal, the collection is inspired by a tall, purple-pink flowing wildflower that grows by the side of the roads in Finland. This blogpost is a repost of my blog of 18-04-2015. Be Inspired ........

The jewellery is a perfect combination of hand-crafted work that’s aided by modern technology. Chao uses anticlastic forming, a way of hammering wood by hand that takes years to master. To further play with the reflection of light on the jewellery, she attached 24K gold foil on top of the silver jewellery. Each piece is unique and can’t be replicated.

Thank you for reading this blogpost.
