Lotus

Like a branch growing freely into bloom, a quiet gesture of strength and softness.

WillieTanAtelier founded in 2013 by Willie Tan, is dedicated to infusing contemporary art concepts into wearable jewelry. Embracing the beauty of imperfection, the atelier crafts unique personal expressions through textured forms. Each piece transcends adornment, becoming a quiet yet powerful dialogue between the body, memory, and emotion.
  • This pair of petal-shaped earrings is one of my personal favorites. Each one is hand-forged from pure silver. The edges aren’t smooth — they’re slightly torn, cracked, textured. And that’s exactly what I love about them: imperfect, full of stories and quiet traces.Not flawless, but honest — like all things that grow.

  • Petals

    I watched as the silver slowly thinned and curved under the rhythm of hands, hammer, and time, gradually unfolding into the shape of a petal.

  • HANDCRAFT COLLECTION

    These works are meant to be worn, carried, and eventually passed on.
    Like soft relics of the self, they accompany us through life’s passages, becoming quiet witnesses to our pain and strength.
    Over time, they gather meaning, forming a lineage not of blood, but of memory.

  • THE ILLUSORY TOUCH

    A reflection on value, absence, and the body as its own ornament.
    A ring, traditionally meant to hold something valuable.
    But here, the setting is empty—filled only with air.
    No gemstone. No glitter.
    Would you still wear it?
    When adornment no longer proves worth, what does it reveal about you?

Hypatia Earrings Series

A series of contemporary jewelry inspired by the classical aesthetics of ancient Greece.
Rooted in the legacy of Hypatia—the world’s first recorded female mathematician, and also a philosopher, astronomer, astrologer, and rare public lecturer in late antiquity—this series draws from the cosmic clarity of her thought.

Planetary forms and geometric fragments were abstracted, restructured, and reimagined.
What remains is not an imitation of history, but a quiet resonance with it.
