CHJ JEWELLERY, in collaboration with renowned Chinese artist Yang Danfeng, draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese "Ruyi" motif. They innovatively integrate the intangible cultural heritage technique of floral wire inlay to create exquisite jewelry piece. It conveys the unique romantic sentiments of Eastern culture and expresses wishes for all the best. This bracelet cleverly combines the Ruyi pattern filled wirework with gold filigree weaving techniques, achieving a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. It is a design style unique to CHJ JEWELLERY, showcasing the brand's exceptional craftsmanship in floral wire techniques and absolute mastery in design.

The design draws inspiration from the Eastern traditional element "Ruyi" and is interpreted through the intangible cultural heritage craft of floral wire inlay. The feathered cuff inspiration is cleverly integrated with the gold filigree weaving technique, infusing the jewelry with the dynamism and creativity of fashion.

This bracelet has a two-layer design: The inner layer is woven with the gold filigree weaving technique to create a soft and dynamic feathered cuff, while the outer layer is made of gold and creates the texture and silk feel of clothing fabrics. The Ruyi patterns are filled with filigree and paired with a white jade "button" in the shape of a Ruyi. These make the bracelet resemble the delicate pleated sleeve. It uniquely combines the armor-like robustness with the smoothness of silk in a single piece, giving the jewelry an unprecedented form and unique golden "fabric" texture. The combination of hardness and softness is harmoniously balanced, breaking the boundaries of traditional filigree craftsmanship applications.

The bracelet is made of gold, which not only reduces the demand for newly mined gold but also promotes the circulation of gold reserves in the market. By incorporating traditional elements and intangible cultural heritage crafts with contemporary fashion design techniques, it breathes new life into these traditions. It is not only a tribute to the enduring craftsmanship of Chinese traditional culture but also an embodiment of the design philosophy of using the old to serve the new.
