Since Munich Jewellery Week takes place largely within the artistic jewellery ‘bubble’, we thought it might be interesting to feature an interview with a contemporary jeweller from a different category. Hong Kong-based Wallace Chan belongs to a small group of the world’s top masters. He is, by all measures, a genius. Known for his ground-breaking material explorations, he also created the most expensive diamond necklace in the world, valued at 200 million USD. But for all his genius, speaking with Chan is like learning from a kind father. His humble musings on the human condition leave you with the impression that he has absorbed a world’s worth of wisdom, beauty, and pain, and that these are the experiences he seeks to share via his spectacular artistry.
