Yve Chan marries heritage and modernity in intricately-created work
'I personally love history, possess a lot of traditional training and have a strong aesthetic background. However, I still aim to break through and reach a broader audience,' says Yve Chan, who as the creative director of Sunsmith and founder of Dawn Jewellery, has successfully built a modern jewellery house that pays tribute to traditional craftsmanship, and a store that amplifies exemplary contemporary jewellery voices.
With a family involved in the jade business, there is an element of predestination in Chan’s path. He studied Jewellery Design and Silversmithing at Birmingham University, an experience that led to his final year collection, winning a Silver Award from the Goldsmith’s Company. 'I called it Seasons of Life, it was very cold in the UK and I am from Hong Kong, so with weather like that, I always felt the quicker the springtime came the better,' he reminisces.
