Wallace Chan's creation is a contemporary interpretation of the Apsara's ethereal and artistic qualities. The creativity and craftsmanship of this piece have been nurtured and developed for three years. With the creator's refined craftsmanship, the airy and soft qualities of the Apsara's presence is conveyed through some of the hardest materials i.e. gemstones and titanium.
In her hands a 4.04ct yellow diamond is placed, surrounded by four emeralds; it is a heavenly gift from nature to human, and a perfect representation of the universe's past and present. A pink diamond graces her topknot. Pink, green, yellow and white diamonds are set on her drapery and ribbon, following the spiral shape, sending forth gleams and sparkles. Carved crystals are set on top of some parts of the diamonds to echo the water motif carved on her celestial titanium body and to enrich the ethereal qualities.
