Moon Phase signet ring by Dingyuan Liu

I am a jewellery designer and maker who creates playful kinetic jewellery in precious metals.

My graduate collection name is called ' The 25th Hour'. The pandemic affected me deeply and had a huge impact on my living habits. Restrictions on travel triggered my fantasy of going outdoors. I began to form a habit of going out late at night when the streets are quiet and teaching myself to ride a bike.  Watching the changes of the moon and escaping to an imaginary world.

In this collection, I combine elements of the bike and the moon to create a series of designs that represent my utopian imaginary world during the lockdown.
