“Jia-Jia Zhu on Jewelry as a Bridge to Connection”

Jewelry is more than an accessory—it’s a vessel for memories, energy, and intention. For me, it began with my grandmother’s delicate jade jewelry, passed down through generations, each one carrying stories of love, strength, and family. These pieces weren’t just beautiful; they connected me to my roots and inspired my journey to create jewelry with meaning. 

Jewelry is a symbol of connection, whether it’s the energy of the stone from our earth or the connection it inspires between people. Our pieces are meant to ground you, uplift you, and remind you of the unique energy you bring to the world. I believe jewelry is deeply personal; it’s a reflection of who we are and a way to connect with the people and moments that matter most.

What does jewelry mean to you? Perhaps it’s a reminder of a loved one or a way to express your individuality. Whatever it may be, I invite you to share your story with us.
