This spring, fine jewelry label Qeelin unveiled two new Wulu Lace designs, using mother-of-pearl oysters that look elegant and fresh. As part of the brand's iconic Classic Wulu collection, Wulu Lace's innovation highlights Qeelin's dedication to injecting a modern Chinese flair into traditional aesthetics.
Wulu Lace's designs are inspired by the traditional Chinese art of paper-cutting. The intricate and detailed pattern of paper-cutting is ingenious, which is similar to the intricate lace of the production process. According to Dennis Chan, creative director of Qeelin, the fusion of East and West is a characteristic of the brand, which is evident in Wulu Lace: "Wulu Lace originates from traditional Chinese culture and shows fashion and elegance at the same time. I've always been fascinated by the craft of paper-cutting: it seems to be carelessly cut with a few knives, but when the paper is opened, it is a delicate and beautiful work of art, which corresponds to my design philosophy and is the same as Qeelin's purpose. ”
The new Wulu Lace design includes a pair of shimmering earrings and dazzling pendants made from 18k rose gold and pavé-set diamonds, while the delicate lace design in the center of the gourd is mother-of-pearl. Although mother-of-pearl has appeared in Qeelin's work, this is the first time it has been presented in a lace pattern. The production process was challenging, and the results were stunning.

Dennis Chan excitedly says, "I'm very happy with both new designs. Spring is the season to enjoy the beauty of nature, and the mother-of-pearl from nature reminds me of this. It takes more time and effort to sculpt the mother-of-pearl into beautiful patterns, but we will not compromise on it. The finished product shows the elegance and vulgarity of the mother-of-pearl oyster, and its pure and clear feeling is a match made in heaven with Wulu Lace. ”
Since its debut in Cannes in 2004, the Wulu collection has been recognized as Qeelin's signature jewelry style, with a gourd shaped like the "8" character, a symbol of good fortune in traditional Chinese culture. Over the years, the Wulu collection has evolved into a kaleidoscopic beauty with different styles. This spring, Wulu Lace, a symbol of blessing and blessing, was unveiled in the style of mother-of-pearl, which bloomed with a moving glow.
