Jewellery, at its finest, is more than mere adornment—it carries the weight of history, philosophy, and artistic vision. In a rare and exquisite collaboration, renowned contemporary artist Lindy Lee has partnered with Pallion’s master artisans to create the Xiaolong Jewellery Collection, a limited-edition series that redefines luxury through craftsmanship and cultural reverence.
Designed as an extension of Lindy Lee’s monumental Abundance sculpture, which was unveiled at the National Gallery of Australia on October 25, each piece in this collection embodies the fluidity of time, nature, and interconnectedness, recurring themes in the artist’s celebrated practice. Handcrafted in gold and jade, the Xiaolong collection is a testament to the harmony between ancient materials and modern artistry, elevating jewellery into a form of wearable sculpture.
Comprising only 25 pieces of each style—a ring, earrings, pendant, and cuff bangle—this collection speaks to exclusivity, with each design exuding a quiet yet powerful elegance. Jade, revered for centuries for its spiritual and protective qualities, finds new life in Lindy Lee’s hands, seamlessly paired with the warmth of gold to create pieces that feel both deeply personal and universally timeless.
Available for purchase at the National Gallery Art Store in Canberra, the Xiaolong Jewellery Collection is more than a collector’s dream—it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lindy Lee’s artistic legacy. Expressions of interest are currently being accepted via Sullivan + Strumpf, Lindy Lee’s Sydney gallery, with prices ranging from AUD $7,500 to AUD $15,000. A portion of the proceeds will directly support cultural programming at the National Gallery, making each acquisition not just an investment in fine jewellery but in the future of Australian art.
For those who seek jewellery that resonates beyond aesthetics, Xiaolong is an invitation to carry a fragment of Lindy Lee’s artistic universe—a luminous echo of eternity, bound by the finest craftsmanship.
