Description

Jing’s Inner Adventure special line

Jing’s Inner Adventure line treats each pair as a wearable sketchbook. Textile traditions, museum objects, gardens, architecture and intuition are reworked through color, shape and movement; every finished pair is one of a kind.

Design story: The Queen’s Hem

女王的衣角 (Nǚ Wáng De Yī Jiǎo)

Jing found her starting point in Katharine A. Carl’s 1903 portrait of Empress Dowager Cixi, now in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art. She focused on the cascade of color, beading and layered ornament around the sitter’s robe, reimagining that opulence as long, rhythmic fringe.

Golden-yellow rectangular textile panels with blue stitched borders, bead embroidery and an asymmetric cascade of chains, pale beads, clear faceted drops and pale-green wrapped drops.

This listing is for the exact one-of-a-kind pair shown in the photographs. The specific textile fiber, bead or stone identities, and hook metal have not been confirmed, so this description is intentionally based on visible design details.

A Five Elements color reading

The visible yellow and blue-green palette brings together Earth and Wood in the classical Five Elements color correspondence. This is a color-led design interpretation, not a claim about material properties or promised effects. Talk with Sunxi Craft about the colors and forms that feel meaningful to you.

Care

Handle the textile, beadwork and hanging elements gently. Keep the earrings dry, avoid perfume and cosmetics, and store the pair separately to reduce snagging or pressure on the fringe.
