Yi Xiong

Aris Xiong (Yi Xiong) is the founder and creative director of Aris Fine Studio, established in New York. She began designing jewelry for local clients during her university years.
Her work is grounded in sustained observation of nature and a sensitivity to memory, translating elements such as plants, light, shadow, and temporal change into a contemporary jewelry language. Characterized by nuanced color relationships and sculptural structures, her designs balance organic forms with rational composition.
She adopts a restrained approach to emotional expression, allowing jewelry to function as a vessel for memory and personal experience. Rather than being limited to ceremonial occasions, she approaches jewelry as a medium for everyday self-expression, bridging nature and the individual within the context of urban life.
