The history of Jewelry 10, Inc. began in 1986 in Locust Valley, New York. It was a family business founded by Hui Fang Chuang (aka Cynthia Chuang) and her husband Erh-Ping Tsai.
Born and raised in Taiwan, future jewelry designers Hui Fang Chuan (born 1951) and Erh-Ping Tsai (born 1950) graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts. After graduation, the couple moved to New York. They went on to study art at the Parsons School of Design and the New York Studio of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture.
Cynthia Chuang and Erh-Ping Tsai create colorful wearable art objects with animalistic designs. Traditionally, the designers use porcelain, ceramics, metal alloys, semi-precious stones, clay, paints and more. The maker’s mark on the reverse side of brooches, pendants and bracelets includes the name of the company “Jewelery 10 company” and a copyright mark.
According to the designers, their work reflects the essence and humorous spirit of living creatures. Noteworthy, their daughter Sue Tsai (b. 1987, New York), who grew up in a creative atmosphere, is also a talented multimedia artist. She has been a regular participant of art exhibitions since 2013.
