Now seems like a good time, I've been meaning to do this thread for ages. Wallace Chan, another Asian jeweler to the ultra rich. He builds mostly for the Asian market. #JewelWatch

This is a ring. Check the triangular-cut diamonds and the two prong (?!!?) setting.
Sort of a scallop setting on the pointy end (where there's a pocket for the gem) and a bar/pin on the other.

The pink stuff is a ceramic he invented himself.
I believe it's patented, and he won't let anyone else use it.

At first I thought that was pretty high-handed, then I started thinking of ways to weaponize it, and jewelry sounds pretty good.
He also clearly has access to major gemstones and likes to use them willy-nilly. (Bracelet.) If it's metallic, I don't know if it's metal or ceramic most of the time, just saying.
I think this is a brooch, check out the diamonds in the ceramic beads.
He's obviously known for opulence, and while some of his stuff is a lot too much for the western market, you have to agree: this is a lot more interesting than Cartier's doorknob version.
(Cartier's version.)
No word on what the green stones are, but that looks like an elongated bead cut.
He's like the JAR of the east; his style is far more opulent, but just as meticulous and distinctive.
Reading the notes I think this is mostly tourmalines and types of beryl (aquamarine, morganite, and emerald). God knows what all's in the setting but that sure looks like Lapis.
The "Bridge of Waves" ring. I'm looking for unconventional diamond style and am not seeing much, if at all. Just LOTS of it.
Also earrings, I believe with jade in the middle. Depending on the size of that arc, it's possible he got an antique small children's jade bangle and cut it in half.
Either a bracelet or necklace out of a bunch of dragons and pearls. Amazing work. Even porcelain has to be shaped and that would be a meticulous job no matter what it's made of.
Definitely a necklace, he made twelve of them as a collection, no word on how similar they are.
Closeup of settings to boggle over. The one in the middle is breaking my brain and I want it on a purple ribbon.
The necklace two of those settings are from, including the one I want:
My bad, that image of three settings, the first one is the bottom part of the third, closer up, and upside down. So it's really only two settings, the ones in the blurry-damn-you-Twitter necklace.
Another necklace. This one I'd wear, with one of the Space Senator outfits.
Brooch. White bits are mother of pearl, I think?

Or porcelain, who knows.
Oooooh.
The "Secret Abyss" necklace, guy is BONKERS and I respect that.
"Now and Always" with a very trippy intaglio carved into an aquamarine, looks like.
Not labeled as Wallace Chan, but I don't know who else it'd be.
I need a billion dollars and a Lear jet. I want to go jewelry shopping.
