Mabel Chong
As a child, Mabel Chong was infatuated with the only piece of jewelry her mother owned, a pair of golden hoop earrings. Her mother later sold them to fund her family’s move from a remote Chinese village to a better life in Hong Kong. By the time she was 13, a single piece of jewelry had not only changed the course of her life, but also captivated her heart. Since then, Mabel has nurtured her passion for jewelry by creating her own pieces in her San Francisco studio, picking up inspiration from art, travel, and the natural world around her.
