The Power of Charm: A Fish Brooch by Meng-Han Yu

Unleashing the Beauty Within

Unlike traditional luxurious jewelry, "The Power of Charm" stands out with its unconventional design and use of gemstones. The brooch features an irregular pearl that resembles a small fish, symbolizing the innocence of a woman's beauty. As a woman explores the sea of life and gains wisdom through her experiences, her beauty becomes more captivating and alluring. This concept is beautifully depicted in the design of the fish brooch.

The brooch showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The fish's eye is made of moonstone, which reflects light and resembles a real eyeball. The fishtail is adorned with color-changing garnets, shaped like pears, representing a woman's wisdom and the charm that comes with it.

Created using traditional goldsmith techniques, "The Power of Charm" is a brooch with a pendant function. The design involves wax carving and gem setting, ensuring the highest level of quality and precision.

With dimensions of 75mm in height and 53mm in width, "The Power of Charm" is made of 14K white gold and 14K yellow gold. It features a total of 166 diamonds, 459 corundums on the fishtail, 5 color-changing garnets on the fishtail, a moonstone for the fish's eye, and a freshwater pearl for the fish's body.

This remarkable brooch is the result of Meng-Han Yu's extensive research and dedication to capturing the essence of a woman's beauty. Yu spent years studying the personalities of charming women and even immersed himself in the world of fish to gain inspiration for this unique design.

The creation of "The Power of Charm" presented its fair share of challenges. The wax carving process alone took 75 days to achieve the desired fish shape. The composition of the fish section and the background section required meticulous attention to detail. Stone setting was another intricate task, with each color corundum carefully selected and arranged to ensure a flawless finish.

Recognized for its outstanding expertise and innovation, "The Power of Charm" was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2016. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the brooch's exceptional craftsmanship and its ability to evoke positive emotions and wonder.

With "The Power of Charm," Meng-Han Yu has created a truly captivating piece of art that celebrates the beauty and wisdom of women. This brooch serves as a reminder that true charm comes from within and can be unleashed to captivate the world.
