Atelier Experience
At PICS, jewellery is not simply made — it is understood, shaped, and given meaning.
Each atelier experience invites you into Catherine Siu’s working studio, where traditional techniques, thoughtful design, and symbolic storytelling come together — guided personally by an award-winning jewellery artisan and founder of PICS Fine Jewellery.
Whether creating alone or alongside someone meaningful, every piece reflects the belief that each person carries a unique gift — and how it shines is a conscious choice.
No prior experience is required — just curiosity and the desire to create something unique with your own hands.
Available Experiences
Solo Creator Experience
This experience is designed for those who wish to create for themselves.
You will work on a silver gift-box pendant prepared in advance and intentionally left unfinished. Through surface texturing and setting a natural diamond in a tube setting, your hands will define the final character of the piece.
The diamond represents your personal talent — a reminder that everyone carries a gift. How it is revealed, shaped, and allowed to shine is a choice only you can make.
You will leave with a unique and meaningful keepsake that reflects your creativity and the story carried by your own hands.

Duet Creators Experience
This experience is created for two people who wish to create for each other — partners, siblings, or close friends.
Each participant will craft a silver gift-box pendant for the other person. You will take turns working at the bench, sharing the creative process while maintaining individual focus and intention.
The act of creation becomes an exchange:
using your talent with care, recognising the value in the other, and offering a tangible “present” that embodies the moment you share now.
Both participants will leave with two finished pendants — one given, one received. Though created from the same form, each piece becomes one-of-a-kind through personal texture, touch, and intention.
Duration: 180 minutes

• Step-by-step guidance by Catherine Siu
Perfect for:
• Partners, friends, or siblings seeking a symbolic shared moment
• Celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or special occasion
• Creating a thoughtful keepsake with a Hong Kong artisan, handcrafted by you
