Introduction

Mawa Lab, founded in 2021 by designers Wang Jiayi and Chen Xiaolan, is an independent jewelry brand that redefines luxury with a focus on subtle elegance and quality craftsmanship. Mawa Lab caters to women who value authenticity and timeless style, celebrating the strength and resilience of the modern woman. The brand was born during a time of global uncertainty when both designers returned to China, having met and honed their craft at the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). With their shared vision years in the making, they decided to channel their creativity into Mawa Lab, a brand that quietly reimagines the concept of luxury.

At Mawa Lab, luxury is not defined by excess but by refinement and the beauty of well-crafted design. Each piece is thoughtfully made using materials such as sterling silver, 14k gold, and handpicked gemstones, with a commitment to creating jewelry that is designed to be cherished for a lifetime. Here, simplicity reigns, and the jewelry serves as an elegant expression of the wearer’s individuality.

The Designers: Wang Jiayi and Chen Xiaolan

Wang Jiayi and Chen Xiaolan first crossed paths at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where both pursued their Bachelor degrees in jewelry design. Their shared vision for creating timeless, meaningful jewelry sparked a strong friendship and creative partnership. After years of honing their skills abroad, the duo found themselves back in China during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time of introspection and opportunity.

Fueled by their passion for jewelry design and their desire to bring something new to the market, they launched Mawa Lab in 2021. Their goal was to create a brand that embodies their design philosophy—a balance of luxury, simplicity, and accessibility. Through Mawa Lab, Wang Jiayi and Chen Xiaolan have created a space where modern women can find jewelry that aligns with their values, offering pieces that are as resilient and elegant as the women who wear them.

Design Conception

Mawa Lab was conceived with the idea of bridging the gap between exclusivity, affordability, and luxury. Wang Jiayi and Chen Xiaolan recognized a need in the market for high-quality jewelry that didn’t carry an exorbitant price tag. The brand’s mission is to make luxury accessible while retaining the integrity of fine craftsmanship and timeless design. Mawa Lab’s design philosophy centers around simplicity and refinement, crafting pieces that are understated yet meaningful, perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions.

Each piece of jewelry is meticulously crafted using only the finest materials, such as sterling silver, 14k gold, and ethically sourced gemstones and pearls. This ensures that every item reflects a balance of elegance and minimalism, embodying a quality that can be worn and appreciated over a lifetime. Mawa Lab is about offering women jewelry that speaks to their individuality, style, and values—combining luxury with practicality.

This combination of luxury materials and meticulous craftsmanship results in collections that offer the experience of fine jewelry at an accessible price point.

Within the "Timeless Essentials" line, the "Moon in the Sea" collection draws inspiration from the mystical beauty of moonlight reflected on the ocean. With pieces featuring unique natural Baroque pearls and elegant designs that evoke the serene and poetic connection between the sea and the moon, this collection offers a refined, nature-inspired aesthetic.
