Our Story

Studio Aeternum — A Narrative Excavation Since 2017

In 2017, somewhere between the Nordic winter and the maritime winds of Hong Kong, a dialogue began—one concerned not with ornament, but with form and meaning.

She was born in Scandinavia, raised within a tradition of rational clarity. Educated in Classics and art history, she developed an almost devotional fascination with the ancient Greek notion of ἀλήθεια—truth as unveiling. To her, jewelry was never mere adornment, but a miniature vessel of philosophy—
a wearable container of meaning.

Ancient Greek culture, in her understanding, was not mythology but structure: a system of proportion, virtue, and restraint. From Platonic ideal forms to Aristotelian teleology, she came to see jewelry as a completed form—
where structure becomes ethics, and proportion becomes character.

Yet she did not remain confined within classicism.
The critical lens of postmodern thought sharpened her practice. Through Derridean deconstruction and Foucauldian awareness of power, she arrived at a decisive insight:

Each wearer is the archaeologist of her own narrative.

Jewelry, therefore, is not a symbol of authority—
but a semiotic system of self-authorship.

He was born in Hong Kong, a port city shaped by movement and cultural crossings. As a visual artist, his lifelong inquiry revolved around architectural proportion and the Latin intellectual tradition. Roman arches, Renaissance humanism, the ethical gravity embedded in words such as virtus and gravitas—these were not academic curiosities, but structural truths.

To him, architecture is philosophy in stone.
Material carries time. Proportion generates order.

He brought this architectural logic into jewelry design—
ensuring that each piece possessed a discernible skeleton, a center of gravity, an internal coherence.
Each object would stand like a micro-architecture—self-contained, deliberate, enduring.

The Convergence of Two Traditions

Their collaboration in 2017 was not a romantic impulse, but an intellectual inevitability.

She articulated narrative and symbolic structure.
He constructed form and spatial discipline.

Together, they founded the studio on a shared conviction:

True luxury is not excess, but restraint.
True power is not display, but structure.

In an age saturated with overstatement and spectacle, they returned to temperantia—the classical virtue of moderation.

Every creation is conceived as an unearthed relic—
as if discovered in the ruins of a future civilization.

The wearer does not signal wealth.
She signals position.

She chooses meaning over noise.

Ornament as Architecture of the Self

The studio defines its philosophy as “narrative archaeology.”

Jewelry is no longer accessory, but:

• A rhetorical gesture of the self

• A cultural declaration

• A conscious pursuit of proportion and discipline

In Latin, ornamentum does not merely mean decoration; it signifies equipment, something that confers dignity.

They restore this original meaning.

Each ring, each pendant, becomes a form of intellectual equipment—
crafted for women who move within worlds of thought.

For the Intellectual Woman

Our wearer is between 25 and 45.
Highly educated.
Attuned to the ethical resonance embedded in language.
Committed to discipline, growth, and interior refinement.

She understands that elegance emerges from structure, not accumulation.
That independence arises from thought, not posture.

In boardrooms, galleries, or libraries, she does not need to announce herself.
A precisely proportioned ring is sufficient.

Continuity as Commitment

Since 2017, the studio has remained deliberately small.

They reject acceleration.
They resist trends.

Just as an architect does not alter a load-bearing structure lightly,
they do not alter their system of values.

Beneath the surface of globalization, they maintain a slow and exacting rhythm—
where Nordic rationality and Hong Kong’s cultural fluidity remain in equilibrium.

Between the columns, they still stand side by side.

Not for support—
but to safeguard a shared architecture of elegance.

Because true luxury is not meant to be seen.

It is meant to be understood.
