【Book Description】
This volume presents the creative vision of contemporary jewelry designer Dickson Yewn, highlighting his unique position as a “modern literatus.” Yewn’s jewelry transcends fashion accessories, serving instead as a refined reinterpretation of thousands of years of Chinese material culture and art history. His works juxtapose square rings with porcelain-inspired forms, drawing inspiration from Ming furniture, geometric lattice windows, and motifs rooted in traditional artifacts. These elements not only reflect the profound heritage of Chinese culture but also gain added meaning through Yewn’s thoughtful choice of materials. Wood, one of the Five Elements in Chinese philosophy, frequently appears in his collections, becoming an essential part of his design language.
To wear Yewn’s jewelry is to carry a fragment of Chinese art and history, seamlessly infused with contemporary aesthetics. This monograph explores the ways Yewn has drawn inspiration from the Imperial court, transforming the artistry of silk, embroidery, painting, architecture, cloisonné enamel, and even courtesan culture into a distinctive jewelry vocabulary. Through exquisite illustrations and finely detailed photography, the book captures Yewn’s dedication to preserving and elevating artisanal techniques once employed in the service of the Imperial courts.
Authored by renowned jewelry writer Juliet Weir-de La Rochefoucauld, this book offers more than visual delight—it invites readers to discover the deeper symbolism and cultural resonance embedded in Yewn’s designs. A remarkable reference for jewelry enthusiasts and design connoisseurs alike, this volume provides both inspiration and insight into how contemporary jewelry can engage in meaningful dialogue with traditional culture.
