After five years of deliberation with numerous changes of designs and elaborations, ASTER MA Haute Joaillerie finally launched the collection of 「Natural Grace」with a focus on bangles in 2015. This is a collection inspired by Aster Ma’s love of being in touch with nature. For all she has seen, she realized that ‘ we cannot isolate ourselves from nature, and all creatures are no different from each other at all.’ In the entire process of design and creation, the first chain of each bangle took an average of 12-18 months of craftsmanship. It was only through a long period of resetting and deliberation to finally present the collection as we see today. And this is perhaps the most compelling truth we can understand of heritage classic jewelry – time is the most luxurious element. “A successful creation has the power to stir emotions and feelings. And being a creator must feel it all with his body and soul towards people, objects, time, space and even nihility. To feel the abundance of emotions flowing out, without any holding back.” —Aster Ma A natural flow of genuine emotions is the highest form of reverence to life. The making of 「Natural Grace」collection is a true piece of art by itself, with no compromise to each specific procedure of design blueprint, wax carving, casting, sculpting, inlaying and polishing. Each procedure goes through multiple reiterations of refinement only to present the ultimate perfect masterpiece. 「Natural Grace」is a made-to-order collection only, with each bangle requiring between 8-10 months to accomplish.
