(Mo opens her watercolour palette and begins to sketch some hydrangeas.)

In my designs, I like to mix Western and Asian cultures. I add many memories of my homeland and the love I feel for my current life.

My name is Su Mo and I'm a High Jewellery designer at Chopard.

Design enables me to express myself. I always yearned to go to a Fine Art school or something similar. So I bought lots of books. At home, I used to draw in secret and at night. One day, my mother saw all my drawings and exclaimed, "Wow".

Afterwards, she bought me some supplies, pens, paper, etc.

(Mo sketches out floral shapes and jewel facets.)

I like lots of things, so it's true that my creations also contain lots of different worlds. Especially colours, I love colours, I think that life is all about colour. Like in life, each one has its own story.

(As Mo sketches, the floral necklace takes form on the page. She chooses colours and adds pinks, blues and purples to the flowers, with white highlights to add sparkling dew.)

I love that at Chopard, our creativity knows no bounds. When I design something, I can do lots of research. I've always said I couldn't stand being confined in a small box.

(On-screen text: Using transparent watercolours to enhance the final design)

When the piece is finished, we can go back over our work. It's like pruning a tree, so it can be reshaped. If we're confined to a small box when designing something, our creativity is stunted. And afterwards, it's much harder to create exceptional pieces. Traditional Chinese culture has always greatly influenced my artistic inspiration.

(On-screen text: Adding gouache colouring to set the final touch)

I don't want to create anything that's traditionally Chinese or European. I would love these two cultures to converge and coexist harmoniously. We love saying that in China, "harmonious", "yin-yang", the perfect balance.

(Mo's design has been made into a necklace, she lifts it and examines it next to her original work.)

The simplest word is "comfortable", "舒服". It encompasses it all, life, everything, your work, your relationships. When you feel comfortable, it means everything's ok.
