: About LanLan :

After earning her Studio Art BA at Wellesley College, Xuelan began her art journey by working in the art gallery world. She has directed the gallery of Asian Culture Center in New York, published journals in the Oriental Art and Finance Magazine in China and advised several emerging and mid-career Asian artists on their pursuit of careers in the arts in New York City. Though her love of art has never faded, she wanted to continue the excitement in an even more creative environment by becoming a jewelry designer and fulfilling her passion for fashion. She believes that jewelry is an essential element of self expression, representing one's personality and taste. She feels that when used cleverly, jewelry completes one's outfit, adds highlight and beautifies one's face, and even accentuates one's figure. Her designs are primarily inspired by the qualities and characteristics of elements of nature, such as trees, blossoms, water, and other flora and fauna. Each piece of jewelry is a complex configuration of genuine crystals and gemstones meshed with precious metals, then handcrafted.

Xuelan is now pursuing a Graduate Gemologist degree at Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and a professional certificate in Appraisal Studies in Fine and Decorative Art at NYU.
