Brooch: Hong Nan Lü Nü, 红男绿女 by Maarten van der Vegte.925 silver, resin and steel. 2006.7 cm ? 3.5 cm.“Hong Nan Lü Nü” is Chinese for “red men green women in urban life”. 
. China becomes more and more a place where there is space and possibility 
. to seek what you want. To connect and get in touch with the things you like, 
. weither this is a thing or a person, man or woman. “Hong Nan Lü Nü” 
. symbolize the men and women who seek adventure, pleasure and challenge 
. in constant encounter in urban life. This piece is part of a whole new range 
. of jewellery that will be more cross-cultural and cross-border. 
. By using traditional Chinese expressions with materials and other elements 
. that is new to the Chinese jewellery scene, I translate them into jewellery 
. that has a Chinese impression, but is made by a European..
