Jingya Yang is a jewellery designer working with jade through a contemporary, material-led approach. Born into a family of jade carvers, she was raised within traditional craftsmanship, which continues to inform her practice. While studying Contemporary Jewellery in the UK, she began to re-examine jade beyond its conventional aesthetics. Her work focuses on translating the material's inherent qualities into a contemporary design language, exploring how jade can be understood and experienced outside of its established cultural associations.
