The design of the folding fan series draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese folding fan, embodying the profound connotation and traditional value of Oriental culture. Beyond being merely decorative, the folding fan is a symbol that evokes ancient stories, reflecting the rich cultural heritage that has been passed down for centuries.

The designer was captivated by the distinctive shape and essence of the folding fan, which served as a boundless source of creative inspiration. During the creative process, it seemed as if she had transcended time and space and found herself in the picturesque water towns of Jiangnan. There, she observed graceful ladies adorned with folding fans, delicately swaying in the gentle breeze. The elegant postures of the women and the graceful curves of the folding fans harmoniously intertwined, forming a mesmerizing tableau. These enchanting scenes deeply moved the designer, compelling her to incorporate these exquisite elements into her jewelry design, ultimately giving birth to the exquisite folding fan series.

In regards to intricate detailing, the designers have invested tremendous efforts. Skilled craftsmen meticulously transform the fan bones of the folding fan into the framework of the jewelry pieces, incorporating 18K gold inlays that strike a perfect balance between durability and elegance. The Australian white pearls adorn the collection with their distinct cool silk luster, evoking a serene and romantic ambiance reminiscent of the enchanting water towns of Jiangnan.

The Folding Fan series pays homage to Oriental aesthetics, while also striving to seamlessly integrate traditional culture with modern design. This collection offers individuals the opportunity to not only appreciate the unique Oriental flavor and cultural heritage, but to also experience it through the adornment of jewelry. Each intricate detail is imbued with captivating narratives and evocative emotions that captivate the hearts of those who encounter it. Whether worn around the neck, wrist, or ears, these pieces convey a distinctive Oriental beauty, serving as the perfect accompaniment to showcase women's elegance and nobility.
