Description

Many years ago, Wallace Chan ordered a tulip from a florist so he could create a piece using it as his muse. But the season was not right and so he had to wait.

When the tulip arrived from the Netherlands after months, he couldn't wait to start carving. But after just a few hours the flower began to fade. He called the florist and was told that the weather was too warm and it could only last for so long. Out of desperation, he placed the tulip in the fridge. He checked on it every 10 minutes and at last, it became strong again.

To this day, he still remembers the tremendous joy he felt when his tulip came around.

 "My tulip was breathing again. I carved on the titanium powerful, throbbing pulses. It is meant to live forever, protected by the Goddess of Spring – the goddess of vitality and all things bright and beautiful," said the jewelry creator.

This brooch, Goddess of Spring, is a re-edition of the experience.
