Xiao Wang's love for jewellery is in her DNA. Her great grandfather was in the mining business and her father is a recycled metal dealer, giving her much access to and understanding of materials at a tender age. Based in New York, Xiao Wang’s inspirations come from manga and pop art. The actress, model, and designer likes to use recycled gold and untreated natural colourful gemstones like tourmalines, coloured diamonds, and emeralds, in her pieces.
