In this, the second volume of a projected multi-volume series,
jewellery designer Anna Hu presents a carefully curated selection
of exceptional pieces created over the past five years. Born in
Taiwan, Hu was trained as a concert cellist. After receiving degrees
in jewelry design at New York's FIT, the history of decorative arts
at Parsons, and arts administration at Columbia University, she
apprenticed at Christie's jewelry department, Van Cleef & Arpels,
and Harry Winston. In 2007 she opened Anna Hu Haute Joallerie,
a French-Chinese fine jewelry brand specializing in one-of-a-kind
jewelry executed by French ateliers using the rarest stones in the
world. In Symphony of Jewels: Opus II, Janet Zapata surveys the
impressive trajectory of Anna Hu's career and looks to her future
as one of the brightest diamonds in the world of contemporary
fine jewelry design.
