About
Huimin Zhang is an artist deeply passionate about collecting antique jewelry, with over 17 years of experience amassing a collection of more than a thousand antique metal pieces. This extensive background has fostered her profound interest in traditional craftsmanship. Sixteen years after earning her undergraduate degree in Product Design from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, she pursued further study at the Royal College of Art in London, specializing in Jewellery and Metal Design. Zhang uniquely integrates diverse cultural techniques, such as Chinese filigree and European gold and silver embroidery, to develop an innovative method resembling “gold moss.” She believes that blending multiple crafts is essential for preserving traditional skills. Currently, Zhang focuses on working with 22K gold and has even customized her own wire-drawing tools to efficiently produce ultra-fine 0.07mm 22K gold threads.
