KONGSHI｜Mermaid Series - Whispers of the Polar Stars

Where traditional Chinese enamel artistry meets a story of love, nature, and hope, the KONGSHI Mermaid Series brings an environmental fable to life through the timeless beauty of miniature cloisonné enamel.
At the heart of the collection is an encounter between a mermaid and a polar bear mother and her cub, whose home is threatened by environmental destruction. Mistaking the mermaid for a messenger from the human world, the mother bear offers her a rose, entrusting her with a heartfelt wish: to ask humanity to protect the environment and preserve their last remaining home. The mermaid responds with an embrace, promising to carry their message to the human world. Together, they hold on to the hope of a better future.
Each dial is crafted using high-temperature miniature gold-wire cloisonné enamel, a demanding traditional decorative art that combines delicate gold wirework with richly colored enamel. Within a 42mm composition, intricate golden outlines and vibrant enamel hues create a miniature world of remarkable detail, reflecting the refinement of Eastern imperial craftsmanship.
By bringing together the imagery of mermaids, polar bears, oceans, and roses, KONGSHI reimagines an ancient Chinese craft through a contemporary artistic perspective. More than an expression of decorative beauty, the Mermaid Series is a wearable reminder of our connection to nature and our shared responsibility to protect the world we call home.
