About Ying Chu

Hello, and thank you for your visit. My name is YING-CHU (映竹), which means "the reflection of moonlight on the water through a bamboo forest." I am a Taiwanese artist and jeweller based in Oslo. 

I entered the world of art and craft in 2015 at Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy. Afterwards, I continued to refine my artistic practice at the Oslo National Academy of Arts.

My inspiration comes from the small, often overlooked elements of daily life—the quiet moments of reflection, the nostalgic feelings for the past and future, the poetic beauty found in the mundane, and the playful spontaneity that surprise us. I capture these fleeting moments and translate them into tangible forms that can be worn and cherished. 

I use materials as the carrier of emotions, stories and care. Each piece is carefully handcrafted by me with dedication, attention to detail, and a deep respect for the materials . I wish my jewellery to be your lifetime companion, offering a sense of belonging and a place of encounter. Be close to you when you go on adventures, give you strength, laughter and consolation. Remind you to slow down and take good care of yourself when it’s needed.​
