The reawakening of Beau\u2019s visual language into jewellery is epitomised in his collection Splash, diamonds in glass. Inspired by a droplet splash frozen in time. Intricately crafted, the diamonds swim beneath the glass, each movement enhancing their maximum reflection. To create this collection Beau developed new techniques which challenge the traditional jeweller\u2019s art and, in doing so, the accepted understanding of jewellery \u2013 the combination of metal and gemstones. Each unique piece harnesses the reflective energy of the precious stones used, diamonds and gemstones, within fine glass, using an inimitable metal-less technique to transcend the constraints of traditional stone setting. Beau explores new material and technologies to marry the craft \u201cpate de verre\u201d and traditional stones into a sophisticated jewellery collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to studying at the Royal College of Art, Beau received a bachelor degree in Jewellery at the acclaimed Central Academy of Arts in Beijing, China. In 2013 he gained a graduate diploma from the GIA as well as a certificate for Graduate Diamonds (GD) and Graduate Pearls (GP). He also attained an Accredited Jewellery Professional (AJP) Diploma from GIA, London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His experience of growing up in an oriental culture means he has an expanded knowledge in the Oriental luxury jewellery market as well as the Western luxury markets. His understanding of the international fashion industry was broadened by completing a make-up artist qualification in 2010 in Los Angeles, United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Beau Han Xu&#8217;s art @ <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/beauhanxu.com\/art-ware\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/beauhanxu.com\/art-ware\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/designthemes.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Beau Han Xu, London, Luxury Art Sculptures are totally unique, hand crafted art works<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/designthemes.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image-12.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13171\"\/><figcaption>Swarovski Beau Cut\u2122 zirconia free fall and sparkle, suspended inside each fine glass stem.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beauhanxu.s3.amazonaws.com\/glassware\/glassware-product-12.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beauhanxu.s3.amazonaws.com\/glassware\/glassware-closeup-06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beauhanxu.s3.amazonaws.com\/glassware\/glassware-closeup-05.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beauhanxu.s3.amazonaws.com\/glassware\/glassware-product-15.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/designthemes.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2019-07-20_01-16-27.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>Beai Han Xu glassware &amp; artware looks like it was made by a CGI studio.
