Aisling Chou Studio

About

Aisling Chou handmade fine jewellery. Inspired by childhood daydreams, nature, geometric shapes and the wonders of the celestial bodies in unexplored galaxies.

I'm Aisling, a jewellery designer maker and metalsmith. Aisling Chou Studio was founded in 2016 after I finished my BA Jewellery and Metalsmithing course and moved to Manchester, UK. However, jewellery-making has been my passion for over a decade.

I experimented with various materials over the years, and iridescent paper is one of my favourites. As a child, I was always captivated by brightly coloured sweet wrappers. Especially the ones that reflect the full spectrum of colours when looked at from different angles. I would stare at them, see the world through them and let my imagination fly. The sweet wrappers inspired my very first collection, Lucid Dream, a tribute to my childhood daydreams.

All the pieces are handmade with traditional and modern jewellery-making and metalsmithing techniques. With the help of my casting partner, my designs in hand-carved wax moulds transform into precious metals. Then they will be hand-finished in my workshop.
