A top-level cellist forced to end her career abruptly at the age of 20 because of tendinitis, Anna Hu remains obsessed with music. Today she is a jewellery designer recognised worldwide who pairs each stone with a musical note. We asked her to describe her vision of the pearl; here is her answer.
Anna Hu is a Taiwanese-American jewellery designer based in New York. Influenced by her two cultures, the artist creates extraordinary, one-of-a-kind jewellery that resembles a painter's palette, brimming with colour and life.
Jewellery designer Anna Hu is quick to point out, however, that the feminine beauty of the pearl continues to lend itself to more classic and timeless designs.
“Pearls have always been quite versatile and can bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit. With current trends, I have seen a lot of traditional pearls and simple designs – both of which never go out of style.”
