Drawing on her vast experience acquired on both sides of the hemisphere, Jing brings a wealth of knowledge to her role as Head of International Jewellery Sales. While she demonstrates a clear passion for the more modern forms of jewellery design, she combines this with her appreciation for those gems and symbols inspired and influenced by traditional cultures and tastes.

After the long journey from a career in Beijing to Pragnell in the UK, I became both a qualified gemmologist and jewellery design specialist. I currently work as Head of International Jewellery Sales with a focus on the Asian market.

My Favourite Piece
It was an original one-of-a-kind Pragnell Masterpiece, featuring a radical design, using reverse set diamonds that inspired the RockChic Collection. Drawing on the modern way to style jewellery, the collection is designed to be stacked and combined with other Pragnell pieces and the wearer’s own jewellery, to create a unique look. The RockChic set earrings feature 6.77 carats of inverted set princess cut diamonds in platinum. While most diamonds are set with their flat table facets facing up, the Pragnell workshop have created a pair of earrings that turns conventional setting upon its head. Each princess cut diamond has been set with its pointed culet facing up, resulting in a unique and stylish design twist and a dramatic style statement.
