Tao
Tao is a jewellery collection inspired by the traditional Chinese Taichi pattern. The collection includes bangles, earrings, a necklace and a ring. Through spatial thinking, the Taichi pattern is deconstructed into several structures that can be worn in different ways. An axle allows half of the earring to rotate 180 degrees, so the round form becomes a long earring. Silicone stoppers inside the necklace make the chain adjustable, and a buckle turns the necklace into a short double chain. The pieces are made of brass with silver or 24k gold plating.
Tao Jewellery Collection by Xiaoqian Wang was identified as an innovative representation of fashion design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Tao Jewellery Collection won the Bronze A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2021. The A' Jewelry Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade that rewards exceptional design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
