The Magic of Wallace Chan Posted by Beth on February 8, 2019, 5:58 am Wallace Chan is, in my opinion, one of the most innovative jewellers of all time. His creations are true works of art made possible by his innovations. I hope everyone will enjoy exploring his particular brand of magic through these two sites. Wallace Chan http://wallace-chan.com/ Christie's https://www.christies.com/features/Wallace-Chan-Studio-Visit-8612-3.aspx I know that his jewels must be worn but, to date, I don't think I have seen photos of them being worn by Chan's loyal clientele. Perhaps I don't read the relevant media!

Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan Posted by Dave on February 10, 2019, 5:29 am, in reply to "The Magic of Wallace Chan" Seen his work on the Jewellery Editor. I wonder how many royals or celebs have endorsed or worn his pieces. Regards, Dave. Previous Message Wallace Chan is, in my opinion, one of the most innovative jewellers of all time.

Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan Posted by Beth on February 11, 2019, 5:28 am, in reply to "Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan" I suspect that one of the greatest influences Wallace Chan has had on jewellery is his use of titanium. Now that he has shared his secrets, more and more jewellers are using it. The colours which can be achieved when it is heated to different temperatures are mesmerising. I would love to see (in reality, so I could handle it) a piece set by Chan to see the interplay of light in the gemstones.

Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan. Porcelain Posted by Dave on February 11, 2019, 9:12 am, in reply to "Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan. Porcelain" I enjoyed the read Beth. I wish I could buy some of his pieces as others as a kind of an investment and I guess hobby. Regards, Dave.

Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan Posted by OmerH on February 13, 2019, 1:59 am, in reply to "The Magic of Wallace Chan" Hong Kong based artist and former actress Lynn Hsieh is a friend and collector of Wallace Chan. She is often pictured wearing his pieces. Here she is wearing one of his necklaces (lady on right) Here she wears earrings and a 48 ct. Sapphire ring by Chan. Here she wears an emerald suite specially designed for her by Chan called 'the lady of the lake'

Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan Posted by Beth on February 13, 2019, 5:57 pm, in reply to "Re: The Magic of Wallace Chan" Superb! Thank you so much OmerH! I suspect that we may have seen others wearing Wallace Chan creations without realising it. Of course, many would not want to be photographed. I suspect that, if I could read Chinese, I would find many who proudly wear Chan creations, as his work with jade would no doubt be very popular.
