We have witnessed the striking presence of Cindy Chao’s masterpieces in only a handful of prestigious settings: on the red carpet worn by award-winning stars of note, and as centrepieces in haloed museums, displayed in well-lit, foreboding glass cases to be admired from afar. You may look, but certainly not touch these works of rare art. 

Cindy Chao The Art Jewel has garnered admiration from connoisseurs and collectors alike over the years as the artist’s work is that perfect amalgam of bejewelled sculptures that can be worn with glittering ease. A perfectly structured leaf or butterfly dazzling in diamonds and precious stones—it must be the art jewel Chao is synonymous with. 

While the iconic Black Label Masterpieces remain the crown jewels of the maison, the White Label Collection represents an exquisite expression of Cindy Chao’s artistic universe. It not only embodies the essence of artistic jewellery but also offers a sophisticated entry into her sculptural aesthetic through captivating thematic series, most notably the celebrated Four Seasons.

Chao’s White Label Collection serves as a bridge between the world of high jewellery and the art of decorative masterpieces. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, embodying the same artistic DNA and uncompromising craftsmanship that define her celebrated works. Unlike mass-produced jewellery, each creation in the White Label Collection is a singular expression, ensuring that the collector possesses something truly unique.

Chao’s artistic journey is steeped in a rich heritage, shaped by her grandfather, a renowned architect, and her father, an accomplished sculptor. This fusion of architectural precision and sculptural artistry is evident in every creation, infusing the White Label Collection pieces with a distinctive elegance that elevates them to a realm of their own.

Within White Label Collection, Chao’s iconic Four Seasons series is a testament to her ability to capture the ephemeral beauty of nature and translate it into ever-enduring art. Each piece reflects the changing seasons, with the aesthetic journey ranging from the tender renewal of spring to the vibrant exuberance of summer, the meditative transition of autumn, and the austere beauty of winter. The collection is significant not only for its artistic expression but also for its versatility; these pieces are designed to be worn on any occasion, from grand galas to intimate celebrations, and they accentuate the individuality of the wearer while maintaining their artistic significance.

For instance, the Winter Branch necklace and bangle, introduced in 2007, were game-changers that marked Chao’s first international recognition. Their stark, intricate, and monochromatic design beautifully encapsulated the essence of winter, showcasing her early artistic vision. As the collection evolved, so did the vibrancy of the gemstones and the complexity of the designs, mirroring Chao’s own growth as an artist.

What sets the White Label Collection apart is its unwavering commitment to artistic integrity without sacrificing wearability. Each piece is crafted with innovative materials rarely seen in traditional jewellery, such as ox horn, ebony, Bocote wood, and French lacquer, alongside the finest gemstones. This unconventional approach results in creations that balance dramatic artistic expression with elegant wearability—the hallmark of the White Label Collection.

Each White Label creation is a one-of-a-kind, unique art object that elevates everyday elegance, and the diamonds and gemstones are selected with meticulous care, ensuring that they meet standards that exceed industry expectations. Chao’s attention to detail enhances both the artistic and investment value of the pieces, making them not only beautiful adornments but also cherished heirlooms. Unlike contemporary fashion and trends that fade, it’s imperative that statement jewellery, like the ones Chao creates, stay timeless. 

Expectedly, the allure of the White Label Collection has not gone unnoticed in the world of cultural luminaries. From the Academy Awards to the Cannes Film Festival, these exquisite creations have graced the necks and wrists of distinguished icons of both the East and West. Be it Oscar winners Michelle Yeoh or Matthew McConaughey, both have showcased Cindy Chao’s remarkable artistry and versatility on the Oscars red carpet last year.
