Juan Yin - UK/China
Juan Yin
Designer biography:
Juan Yin is the designer and founder of Formed Between, a contemporary jewellery practice rooted in the craftsmanship of Miao silversmiths. While studying and working in the UK, she visited Miao communities in China and met silversmiths whose craft had been passed down through generations. These encounters became the starting point for Formed Between. Each piece is handcrafted in high-purity 990 silver by Miao silversmiths using traditional techniques. Designed to be worn every day, the jewellery brings traditional craftsmanship into contemporary life.
Collection concept
This collection draws from structural principles found in Chinese decorative traditions, organised through repetition, symmetry and enclosure. Repeated units are brought together to create defined forms, where proportion and density establish balance through relation. Created as contemporary jewellery, the work brings traditional craft knowledge into everyday life.
