Gemstones have been the focus of his life for over forty years since becoming a gemstone-carving apprentice at age sixteen. His innovations have included the use of titanium in jewelry creation, the invention of a patented jadeite thinning and luminosity-enhancing technology, and the use of unique gemstone settings without metal claws. In this presentation, Wallace Chan will share the philosophies, inspirations, emotions, and processes behind his artwork.
