Born in Jiangsu, China and raised in Toronto, Canada, Yujie Liu is a London-based jewellery artist whose work bridges emotional depth with refined craftsmanship. A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art with a BA in Silversmithing and Jewellery Design, Yujie is currently pursuing an MA in Luxury Business at Sotheby’s Institute of Art, where she explores the intersection between design, emotion, and luxury brand storytelling.

Yujie’s practice is rooted in personal narrative and sensory experience. Drawing from moments of emotional intensity and healing, her work often integrates tactile elements, soft sounds, and interactive features—blurring the boundaries between adornment and emotional object. She embraces both traditional techniques and contemporary technologies, including laser welding and 3D printing, to craft jewellery that is at once intimate and conceptually rich. She is currently developing a sensory jewellery brand that offers emotionally resonant pieces designed for modern well-being.

Rooted in deeply personal experiences, the collection draws from the traditional funeral ceremonies of Yujie’s childhood in China—rituals where family, grief, and time converge. These memories, shaped by sound, movement, and collective mourning, inspire pieces that offer not just aesthetic beauty, but solace and quiet strength.
Named after her grandfather’s favourite bird, Halcyon captures a sense of calm amidst chaos. Each piece is designed to resonate—literally and metaphorically—with the wearer. Silver wire structures evoke protection and care; titanium components shift in colour and size with the passage of time, symbolising impermanence and transformation. As the jewellery moves with the body, it produces soft, wind-chime-like sounds that soothe and ground.

Yujie believes that jewellery can serve as a companion in life’s most vulnerable moments. Halcyon is a tribute to loss, resilience, and the possibility of renewal—a quiet dialogue between material, memory, and the body.
