The Spirit of Ink, Reborn in Gold: The Xu Beihong Art Collection
Series Introduction

True art transcends time, finding new resonance in every era.

A century ago, Xu Beihong captured the spirit of his time through ink painting. Blending Western realism with the expressive freedom of traditional Chinese brushwork, he helped usher in a new era of modern Chinese art.

A century later, SWIKY Jewellery enters into an artistic dialogue with his legacy through the artistry of gold and fire.

With gold as its medium and the spirit of ink as its inspiration, the brand opens a new chapter in Chinese aesthetics.

In 2025, SWIKY Jewellery entered into a partnership with the Xu Beihong Culture and Art Centre, launching a jewellery collaboration inspired by the master's artistic legacy.

Drawing on Xu Beihong's original masterpieces, the brand presents The Spirit of Ink, Reborn in Gold: The Xu Beihong Art Collection, a collection of exceptional creations that brings his artistic vision to life in contemporary jewellery.

Galloping horses alive with strength, kapok blossoms blazing like torches, and auspicious magpies heralding spring — these vivid images from the master's paintings are transformed into exquisite works of gold, allowing his art to step beyond the painted page.

Once captured in ink, these timeless subjects take on new life as contemporary treasures to be worn, cherished and passed down through generations.

Galloping Towards the Light Collection
Drawing inspiration from Xu Beihong's masterpieces Six Steeds, Galloping Horse and Standing Horse, the collection captures the heroic bearing of his horses through traditional goldsmithing and innovative 5G gold. Combining precious-metal mortise-and-tenon inlay, hand-chased wire detailing, ink-wash-inspired enamel finish, gradient sapphire settings and invisible settings, each creation transforms the dynamic energy of ink painting into tangible, sculptural form. A tribute to the untamed spirit of the galloping horse, and to all those who set their sights on distant horizons and pursue their dreams with unwavering determination.

Joyful Magpies Collection
Inspired by Xu Beihong's Spring Day with Four Magpies, this collection celebrates the beauty of love and the auspicious symbolism of magpies in Chinese culture. Combining graduated colourwork with translucent openwork detailing, each creation is adorned with vibrant spessartite garnets and sparkling moissanites. Against the warm radiance of gold, a pair of magpies nestle close together, creating a tender scene of affection and harmony. The collection offers a distinctly Chinese expression of romance — celebrating love, companionship, and the joy of togetherness. May these graceful creations bring beauty to everyday moments, celebrate the happiness of love, and convey a heartfelt wish for a bond as enduring as gold.
