Born and raised in China, Ejing Zhang's exposure to fabrics and thread came at a very young age, as her Mother worked in the textile industry. Zhang's love of fabrics and fashion continued to grow with her and resulted in an education and passionate career in the creative industry.
Ejing Zhang graduated from the Royal College of Art with a MA in Mixed Media Textiles. Through the combination of textiles and resin, Ejing Zhang Studio creates intricate jewellery by highlighting a cross section of the mixed media resin tile, revealing its abstract and detailed core.
All the tiles are hand poured and finished in their London based studio making each and every piece completely unique.

This unusual process was spotted by WGSN (Worth Global Style Network) in 2013 when Zhang was commissioned to create the trophies for the Global Fashion Awards held in the Victoria and Albert Museum London.
The SS17 collection was inspired by the 80’s dancing glamour and the space exploration. The collection carries the brand’s original signature materials through into a completely new level. Metallic Lurex yarns and dark resin panels come into play setting the scene for a dramatic night of dancing, whereas the second half is a pale blue marbled resin providing a calmer and subtler ambience.
Together with their solid yet fluid-formed precious metal framing, the whole collection guilds the femininity of independent cosmopolitan women and challenges the norms within contemporary jewellery.
