Jewellery Quarter-based designer Fei Liu has sold his bespoke ‘Poppies in Love’ at auction.

In 2021, Fei Liu Fine Jewellery revitalised its fine jewellery line with one-of-a-kind pieces in gold and platinum; selling across the UK, US and Asian markets. Since its rejuvenation, the designer brand has seen sales double from the prior year and a higher intake of bespoke commissions from private collectors.

More recently, award-winning jewellery designer Fei Liu sold a one-of-a-kind brooch at auction for a five-figure sum (US dollars).

Entitled ‘Poppies in Love’, the brooch reimagines the poppy flower in an abstract wearable form. The brooch signifies the ever-changing state of life through richly coloured rubies (unheated) and opalescent moonstones. The two poppy heads are each encrusted with 13.2ct rubies, 12.62ct moonstone, and a bejewelled stem featuring 3ct tsavorites and 2.06ct diamonds, set in 18ct dual tones of black and white gold.

Fei Liu is an internationally acclaimed jewellery designer best known for his exquisite designs that fuse his Eastern heritage with Western contemporary styles. He creates fine jewellery masterpieces for his international private clients and also creates accessible luxury for everyday wear in his silver collections. Each jewel is designed to match Fei’s aesthetic of colour, sculptural style and wearability.

Fei grew up in China and came to the UK to study at the prestigious Birmingham School of Jewellery, where he is still based in the city’s historic jewellery quarter. Fei Liu has won many prestigious international awards for his work in fine jewellery, including Jewellery designer of the Year at the UK Jewellery Awards and Harpers Bazaar China Designer of the Year.
