Chi Cheng Lee

Artist’s Bio

Chi creates her line of jewellery for the purpose of designing a contemporary look, which exposes beauty through the simplicity of form and texture. Her jewellery reflects the integration of past and present cultures with a twist of East meets West. Chi grew up in an artistic family with her father as a classic Oriental Watercolours on silk painter and a sister who indulged in contemporary fine art. Creating and sharing art together was a natural and stimulating interest in their daily lives. Her inspirations combine her traditional Asian roots and her metropolitan New York City upbringing.

Sterling silver is the main material that Chi uses for her jewellery with some addition of karat gold, gold-filled, as well as accents of semi-precious stones and pearls. Most of her pieces are made in a combination of different techniques such as casting, fabrication, forming, roller printing, wire weaving and crocheting with beads. The finish on her pieces is available in high polish, engraved textures and oxidized black.
