In 2017, Austy Lee launched the Austy Lee brand, becoming the founder and spiritual leader of the fashionable jewellery brand. This former Hong Kong graphic artist has switched to creating bold jewellery, combining expressive colour schemes with pronounced sculptural forms.
Lee studied the art of jewellery design under the wing of the Swiss school and workshop Adler right in Hong Kong. He then led the creative team of renowned local craftswoman Wendy Yue, where over the past six years he has created over 6,000 exclusive jewellery pieces, each of which was created in his homeland – Hong Kong.
At the heart of the master’s work is a unique synthesis of cultural influences and innovative methods. Combining 3D design technology with inspiration drawn from ancient civilizations, Austy Lee creates jewellery that cannot be confused with the work of other designers.
The stones used in the jewelry range from classic blue sapphires to dazzlingly bright padparadscha sapphires; electric-blue Paraiba tourmalines alternate with sparkling sphenes, and the long-revered jade and onyx are as beautiful as iridescent black opals and precious diamonds.
Oriental motifs permeate many of Lee’s jewelry designs.
I love Indian and other local cultures, including Hindi motifs… as well as old Egyptian styles. Symmetrical and ray-like patterns often appear in my jewelry.
