Romancing the store

Reinventing the green stone

Jewelry designers who are relatively new to the field seem more open to experimenting with traditional materials, designs and themes. Christopher Chan, founder of the eponymous Christopher Chan Jewelry, has created rings, bracelets and pendants with dragon motifs, though the pieces are often more slimline than their traditional counterparts. "There are powerful stories associated with the dragon — it is supposed to be a protector," he says, explaining his fondness for the mythological creature.

The range has found favor with Chan's clients in the mature-woman bracket, especially those looking for pieces that they hope to pass on to their progeny.
