About Artist

Jinjin(Jocelyn) Zhang is a jewellery artist and maker based in London.

​

She studied jewellery and metalwork at the Royal College of Art and has six years of experience working with both traditional and experimental methods.

Her practice combines conceptual research with making, using jewellery as a medium to examine illusion, value, and systems of display.

​

Her work originates from two directions. One is the visual language of wrapping and packaging in everyday life. The other is the emotional projection onto absence, fantasy, and desire. These directions meet in a practice that does not treat jewellery as permanent possession but as a structure that stages illusions of value and presence.

​

Jocelyn works with paper, acrylic, nylon, fabric, copper, silver, and imitation gemstones. She is interested in how the perception of texture, weight, and surface affects judgment. By crafting delicate objects from unstable or inexpensive materials, she explores the tension between what appears and what is, between permanence and fragility.

​

Her jewellery sits between adornment and critique. It can be worn, yet its main purpose is to create a moment of reflection, where the wearer and the viewer consider what they are really seeing and what they believe to be valuable.
