About Lynn Sien Designs

Business Service:

With a lifelong passion for design and Chinese culture, Lynn’s works combine the best of both.  Elegantly designed, originally inspired, Lynn's jewelry designs are attractive, hand-crafted and each is a work of art.  Lynn integrates fine fresh water pearls and semi-precious gemstones and jade into elegant and unique fine pieces of jewelry.  Currently her works can be seen at the gift shops of the Guggenheim-Hermitage Museum, Las Vegas, Honolulu Academy of Art, Maui Divers and Robyn Buntyn Asian Art Gallery in Honolulu.  In December 2005, Lynn Sien Designs opened a Showroom in the financial district of Honolulu that offers fine designer jewelry at affordable prices. 

Business History:

Opened for business in January 2003, Lynn’s Feng Shui Collection has met with great success, including being featured at Saks 5th Avenue on Union Square.  Originally based in San Francisco, Lynn Sien Designs is now domiciled in Honolulu, with an extensive clientele that spans between Shanghai to Martha’s Vineyard.   Nevertheless, Lynn still returns to her Marin County studio frequently throughout the year to be close to friends/family in the Bay Area.

Lynn Sien Designs is the culmination of 17 years living abroad in Taiwan and sourcing gems and designing jewelry extensively throughout Asia.  Fluent in Mandarin, she travels to China frequently, affording her the opportunity to buy pearls directly from the pearls farmers.
