THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION

This collection is one of Janice’s most unique and personal, hence aptly named the signature collection. It is a true reflection of Janice’s ethnicity combined with the rich and long history of China.

From the 8th through early 15th centuries, in the Mongol period, "Cloths of Gold" were produced in Chinese and Central Asian cities, often where craftsmen from conquered territories were resettled. In these textiles the motifs and background are both woven of gold thread. The gold thread consists of strips of very thin, translucent paper, gilded on one side and wrapped around a yellow silk core. These were among the most coveted belongings owned by people of exotic Asian cultures hundreds of years ago, as well as by the Imperial families.

A similar gold thread is used as the main theme of this collection. Brilliantly colored stones are suspended together by this gold thread knotted firmly between each stone, finished off with a silver or gold filled clasp.

The majestic combination of such deeply colored stones and gold showings makes fit for an empress.
