Editor’s Note
This article tracks the evolving jewelry choices of a public figure across various public appearances, noting a progression from accessible fashion brands to established luxury houses like Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, and Qeelin. It highlights how accessories can subtly signal changing contexts, from music festivals to high-fashion events.
I just realized that Teacher Zi’s neck was bare during the Nanjing event. At the music festival, she upgraded from slightly more affordable trendy brand jewelry to a Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet. In Guiyang, she wore Bulgari. In Wuhan, she wore Qeelin’s classic small gourd piece and YSL. In Xiamen, she wore Messika and a Chanel necklace. For the Vogue event, she wore Qeelin’s Valentine’s Day new release. In the same set of photos on Xiaohongshu, she also tried Qeelin’s specially customized purple gourd high jewelry piece.
