ChiaChien found her passion in jewellery design, through her studies of jewellery design in the Material Art and Design program at the Ontario College of Art and Design. While exploring and developing in metal, she incorporates other materials that may not be considered as valuable. These materials allow her to express herself and enhance her designs. In her final year at OCAD, she developed her thesis on the topic of spring. With nature as inspiration, her body of work utilizes the intriguing and ongoing transformations that occur throughout life. Using the erotic beauty of the neck as a backdrop, her neckpieces and earrings incorporate seeds and leaves interwoven with imagery of eggs and sperm to reinforce the notion that human beings are strongly bound to nature. She is continuing this exploration from her new studio Jewel Envy.
