As for the La Belle brooch, it is characterized by its central Melo pearl of over 63 carats, surrounded by blue and pink sapphires, and white and yellow diamonds. It depicts a Chinese legend called Xiang Ru Yi Mo, where two fish on land, mouth to mouth, spit bubbles at each other to keep one another alive. A poignant love story, it is a sumptuous demonstration of life, love, and womanhood. 'I am interested in present life, but also in past life,' the designer explains. 'That is why I chose pearls here—Tahitian and Melo—which also have a past.' Finally, Elsa Jin shows the world her vision of fashion: large brooches are more in style than ever."
