The jewellery designer shares tips on accessorising and starting a jewellery collection
Cherrie Chin has a knack for commanding any room she steps into - in this case, the office of Tatler Malaysia where she turns up in a chic Balmain pantsuit and a pair of gold Christian Louboutin.
"My style is versatile. I can be cool and edgy or sporty casual," she says. "Dressing up allows me to 'play' different personalities depending on the occasion."
Known in the high society circle for always looking stylish, Chin also parlays her sharp fashion sense into jewellery design. The graduate of Gübelin Academy specialised in coloured gems, which led her to set up her own jewellery brand, Les Jardin. The main inspiration for her jewellery line are the French gardens, which explains the abundance of colourful floral motifs.
In this interview, Chin gets candid about her love of jewellery, the art of accessorising and her own favourite jewellery.
Why jewellery?
Because jewellery is fun - they can spice up and add character to a simple outfit. When you are bored with certain pieces, you can redesign them. Plus, the good quality pieces can be passed on to the next generation as an heirloom.
