All righty. Wendy Yue high jewelry, traveled a lot as a young adult, decided the symbolism of jewels was fascinating, trained, and opened her own shop in 2008. #JewelWatch
She likes nature motifs and new ways to wear stones.

She also isn& #39;t afraid of color. Lots of question mark necklaces.
Or a ring. This may be my favorite piece of hers. I mean yeah, flowers are great but that& #39;s a subject that& #39;s been done. A little hut on a lake? On my hand? Love it.
The first image is a single piece. So is this, though they& #39;re articulated. I& #39;ll find better images, will post if I do.
Also one of hers, I believe. (Image search is a rodeo. Pinterst is worse. Pinterest searched via Google Image is this mess, with no data.)
Another nice floral necklace.
This one comes apart to be a necklace and brooch. (Retail $35K some of you have been curious.)
Carved jade. Very nice.
Very twee, but lovely workmanship.
Bracelet!
That blue crystal & #39;bud& #39;... remind me to tell the story of blue roses some time. (No. They don& #39;t exist. It& #39;s a long story. Five more years now.)

Jade bracelet with possible flying squirrels??!!??!
Gorgeous ring, that central stone is probably jade. See how they used the pink vein to accent the petals? Classic Chinese jade carving technique.
In the east, lavender jade is considered crap. At least & #39;til they realized westerners would buy it.

Pausing the one hour thread at 0:20!
Right, starting the clock again. (I& #39;ve started limiting myself to an hour for a thread or I& #39;ll be here all night.)
Another ring, baroque pearl, pave in titanium probably, and the black part of that ring might be lacquer, look at it closely, I think I see wood grain.

Ring, 18kt white gold. It& #39;s an alloy, so there could be anything else in there holding it together.
I like it. Gimmie.

A more classical bib necklace, tricked out to look like a butterfly. I& #39;m pretty sure she& #39;s studied in east and west, which adds a depth to things I really enjoy trying to figure out.
Interesting ring, I want one with dragon flies. (Lalique would shit if he could see modern metallurgy.)
Another ring, hahaha, I love it. Hand it over.
A JUNGLE SCENE! In a bracelet!! These are the pieces of hers I really love.
And proving she can do anything, Art Deco earrings.
Lordy. Translucent jade ponds, fish, and bubbles for the chain of the earrings.
Or how about lizards?
Dragonflies?
I want all her earrings. I will accept glass copies.

ACTUAL dragons? I think? If so, and those are fire opals on the posts, ha. Very funny.
Monkey earrings, haha.
See, the length of the thread depends on how easy stuff is to find. She& #39;s been at this twelve years and apparently really knocking out collections.

Another dragon, this one a bracelet. Pink with opal scales, it& #39;s singing my song.
Very cute panda earrings. With bamboo hoops. The bamboo is metal with enamel.
