Catalogue Essay
Mason Tsai was born into a family of jadeite jewellers in Taiwan, grew up in London and founded Mason Tsai Timeless Jewel in 2008. Inspired by architectural design and sensory aesthetics from his college studies, Mason breaks away from traditional concepts of jadeite jewellery design, intelligently matching exceptional natural jadeite with a great variety of precious stones, creating a feast of exuberant colours in his works of art. Mason is particularly fond of brooches. His designs often paint vivid pictures of innocence and whimsy, while conveying a sense of elegance. This brooch (580) and another (622) offered in this sale are typical examples of Mason’s comical creations. By marrying jadeite of rich colours with chromatic gemstones, the beauty of nature was exquisitely rendered through superior artistry, and with great passion.
