Fei Liu earrings increase $4,864 for youth charity
Fei Liu Nice Jewelry has raised $4,864 (£3,677) for the Boys and Women Membership of Malibu after a pair of customized earrings by designer Fei Liu had been bought at Bonhams.
The 18ct gold “Kiss of An Angel” earrings, set with rainbow moonstone and diamonds, had been auctioned as a part of the public sale home’s California Jewels sale.
Bonhams promoted the piece throughout its social channels, the place it drew notable curiosity from collectors. The earrings had been created as a symbolic response to the area’s restoration efforts, with the shifting colors of the moonstone supposed to mirror hope and renewal.
Liu mentioned the response to the work had been encouraging. He mentioned: “The ‘Kiss of An Angel’ was created to honour the tenderness and energy that emerge within the aftermath of devastation. Realizing that its sale will help the Boys and Women Membership of Malibu provides the piece a life and objective past adornment.”
He added: “Seeing the earrings obtain $4,864 (£3,677) at Bonhams is extremely rewarding. It reaffirms the ability of jewelry not solely to encourage but additionally to contribute to therapeutic and hope.”
Vp of philanthropy Molly Scott mentioned the charity welcomed the help. She mentioned: “We’re extremely grateful for Fei Liu’s beneficiant donation. The earrings he created are stunning and the story behind the design is highly effective — an ideal tribute to the resilience of the Malibu group. We have now an extended highway to restoration, and the funds raised will help our youth afterschool programmes, no-cost psychological well being providers, and trauma-informed care coordination for over 2,500 people impacted by the Palisades Fires.”
The sale provides to Liu’s wider work to create designs that mix technical craft with private and group narratives.
