Mushroom Ring - Heting Jewellery

Carina Wong is the Founder and Artistic Director of HETING Jewellery. HETING Jewellery is the embodiment of her artistic energy and inspiration, rooted in her philosophy of finding balance and harmony by combining natural aesthetics and design. Carina’s creative passion has seen her explore and master varied forms of crafts ranging from calligraphy, beading, wood carving to metal-smithing and gemology. Having graduated from the Gemological Institute of America in Hong Kong, Carina’s delicate eye for the finest details led her into a world of wonder, gazing into every stone as though it were a universe unto itself. Coupled with her deep understanding of colour, texture, form and material, this enthusiasm saw HETING Jewellery blossomed to life in 2015, fusing her artisanal experiences with the world of haute joaillerie. Through her unique designs, she seeks to connect the timeless energy of the natural world with her clients, encouraging them to find elegance in the mysticism of organic forms. Her appreciation and dedication to craftsmanship infuses her collection with rich stories, intricate details and a vision to reimagine fine jewellery. Carina strongly believes that the human hand is irreplaceable when it comes to creating objets d’art, and supports the importance of preserving and continuing this heritage, passing this knowledge and skills to the next generation of craftspeople. HETING proudly embraces this honesty in its strive for perfection. Hè Tíng (鶴庭) ‘derives from “Water pavilion of Hermit Lin” (林處士水亭), an ancient Chinese poem from the Song Dynasty written by Yaozuo Chen. The poem depicts a story in which a contemplative hermit lives in a peaceful garden, taking the time to admire and reflect on the world around him, to spiritually journey through the sensuality of nature. This is the founding inspiration behind HETING and is also named after its founder and artistic director, Heting Carina Wong. The brand essence of HETING is to guide wearers, through the brilliancy and versatility of thoughtful design, to experience their surroundings and environment in a renewed form, reinterpreting the flow of time and the beauty of metamorphosis. Wong, through her own observation and experience of the natural environment, has created delicate series that embody the nuances of our ecosystem through a unique creative lens. It is her deep understanding of colours, textures, shapes and materials that characterizes HETING fine jewellery. Made with precious metals, gemstones to jadeite and intricately carved pearls, HETING pieces are not only fine artistic creations, representing the best balance in choice of materials with design and craftsmanship, but are also as wearable art, as daily to evening accessories embodied with depth and soul. Through inspired stories, the different series explore and unveil a magical universe that brings to the forefront the colour and vibrancy of life, distilling an imagination so wide and poetic into the most delicate of objects d’art.
