Chinese Chrysanthemum Pink Crystal Earrings / SANYU
Chinese Chrysanthemum Pink Crystal Earrings / SANYU
Dubbed the "Van Gogh of China" or the "Matisse of the East," Sanyu stands as a monumental pioneer of Chinese Modernism. His artistry orchestrated a masterful dialogue—marrying the rich, expressive brushstrokes of traditional Chinese calligraphy with the bold forms of Western oil painting.
Throughout his solitary life in Paris, Sanyu constantly returned to three recurring motifs: the female nude, enigmatic creatures, and the still-life flora—most notably, the Chinese chrysanthemum. This collection is a poetic tribute to Sanyu’s enduring spirit, capturing the profound cross-cultural paradox of his favorite bloom: a sacred symbol of longevity and heritage in the East, yet often associated with remembrance in the West. Sanyu once compared his displaced life in Paris to a misplaced chrysanthemum, painting them with tender pink petals balanced on stems drawn with the sharp, unyielding vigor of calligraphic strokes.
To honor Sanyu’s visual legacy, this jewelry collection prominently features rose quartz, paying homage to the iconic, dreamy pink backdrops that define his masterpieces. The translucent, tender glow of the rose quartz captures the gentle vulnerability of the petals, juxtaposed against strong, structured lines—a wearable exploration of a delicate outer beauty housing an ironclad, resilient soul.
Cares
Rhodium‑plated / gold‑plated copper and 925 sterling‑silver jewellery feature a precious‑metal finish over a copper base or solid sterling‑silver body.
Plated finishes may gradually wear over time from regular skin contact. Continuous exposure to sweat, water, perfumes and cosmetic chemicals can cause tarnishing on both plated surfaces and 925 silver.
To help preserve the appearance of your pieces, please follow these care guidelines:
Always remove your jewellery before sleeping to avoid friction against skin and fabrics.
Keep your jewellery dry at all times. Should it become wet, immediately pat dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
Avoid direct contact with harsh substances including chlorine, nail‑polish remover, soap and perfume; these may deteriorate the plated finish and speed up silver tarnishing.
Take off your jewellery before strenuous exercise to limit prolonged contact with sweat.
Store each item individually inside its own small pouch or sealed plastic bag. This reduces surface scratches, abrasion to the thin plated layer, and slows tarnishing for 925 sterling‑silver pieces.
