Erin Yang is an accessory and jewellery designer from China, holds a BA degree in Jewellery Design from China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and a diploma in gemmology issued by the Fellowship of Gemological Association of Great Britain.

 

Her practice is mostly about philosophy, space, culture, and psychology. In the design process, she always combines digital technology with traditional handicraft techniques and infuses her work with the power of healing. Erin has always believed that regardless of technology and the times, there is a place for handmade and that the purity and emotion it embodies cannot be replaced.

 

The MA at the Royal College of Art gave Erin the opportunity to apply her background in jewellery to the design of accessories. Metallic elements and details can be seen in her designs, adding toughness and healing to the works. She was also a finalist in the eyewear design and make competition co-founded by the RCA and 100 Percent Optical.
