On Sept 17, jewelry brand Leysen unveiled its commemorative Gold-Weaving Bamboo collection at the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium in China to mark the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Belgium. Featuring bamboo rendered in gold, the collection uses Western gold-weaving techniques to interpret an Eastern cultural motif, placing Eastern aesthetics in a diplomatic setting and giving more than half a century of bilateral exchanges a tangible form designed to be treasured across generations.

Embassy debut: Jewelry as a medium for cross-cultural exchange
As China and Belgium mark 55 years of diplomatic relations, Leysen chose the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium in China as the venue for the debut of its Gold-Weaving Bamboo commemorative collection. Ambassador of The Kingdom of Belgium in China H.E. Mr. Bruno Angelet attended the event and joined Leysen executives in unveiling the new pieces.
At the launch, Ambassador of The Kingdom of Belgium in China H.E. Mr. Bruno Angelet recognized Leysen for its role in supporting Belgian art jewelry, promoting cultural exchanges between China and Belgium, and preserving craftsmanship and aesthetic quality. The brand was presented with an honor related to art promotion, with the embassy expressing hope that jewelry would continue to serve as a bridge for artistic and cultural exchanges between the two countries.

A legacy of diplomatic gifting: Sustaining cultural exchange
Drawing on European artistic traditions and a century of craftsmanship, Leysen incorporates Italian gold-weaving techniques into contemporary jewelry design while developing its focus on artistic gold jewelry and high-end settings. The brand also brings together classic cultural elements from East and West, creating a range of heirloom pieces.
Tracing the story back to a diplomatic gift associated with China-Belgium relations: in 2009, the Blue Flame True Heart Diamond, featuring Leysen's proprietary True Heart diamond-cutting technique, was presented to a Chinese government delegation in the presence of the Belgian Crown Prince, opening a new chapter in the brand's role in cultural exchange. The launch of the Gold-Weaving Bamboo collection further extends this cultural narrative into gold and gold-weaving craftsmanship, carrying the legacy of diplomatic gifting forward—from a historic gift to a wearable and collectible form of cultural expression.
By combining the Eastern motif of bamboo with a Western craft vocabulary, and moving from the Blue Flame True Heart Diamond to the Gold-Weaving Bamboo collection, Leysen uses bamboo to evoke the development of the 55-year diplomatic relationship: deeply rooted, steadily growing, open at heart and resilient in the wind.

Craft and aesthetics: Eastern spirit meets Western craftsmanship
The Gold-Weaving Bamboo collection interprets the Eastern motif of bamboo through Western gold-weaving craftsmanship, bringing together what the brand describes as an Eastern spirit and a Western technical foundation.
As the technical foundation of Leysen, Italian gold-weaving craftsmanship originated in Arezzo, the sacred home of goldsmiths in 15th-century Florence. Former Cartier designer William Rigoulet led the design of the [Gilded Weave Collection], integrating the "gold thread weaving" and "textured gold engraving" of Italian gold-weaving craftsmanship into the product design, and transforming "three-dimensional woven texture" and "gilded gradient light and shadow" into signature visual symbols of Italian gold-weaving craftsmanship. This allows the beautifully distinctive gold-weaving technique to achieve greater artistic recognition in the contemporary era, making the wearer shine with an inherent radiance and stand out at first glance. The "Gilded Weave · Bamboo" collection extends this visual symbol to the Eastern bamboo node, blending the warp-and-weft structure of bamboo with textile aesthetics, expressing bamboo's rhythm and order through woven texture, and translating the multiple beautiful aspirations embodied in bamboo nodes.
Moving from creating collectible works to promoting cultural exchange, the commemorative collection uses bamboo, an emblematic Eastern motif, as a vehicle for Leysen's cross-cultural expression.
According to the company's annual report, products featuring its gold-weaving craftsmanship have generated cumulative sales of nearly 200 million yuan, while related topics have recorded more than 50 million online views.
Bamboo does not grow to full height overnight. The same can be said of 55 years of China-Belgium exchanges, and of a brand finding its place in a cross-cultural context. Through the bamboo motif presented at the Belgian Embassy, Leysen is exploring how a commercial brand can participate in cultural dialogue in the decades ahead.

作为中比文化交流见证者,Leysen莱绅通灵获比利时大使馆授予殊荣
9月17日,珠宝品牌Leysen莱绅通灵在比利时王国驻华大使馆发布中比建交55周年典藏系列「鎏光织金·竹」。该系列以“竹”入金,借西方织金工艺演绎东方竹意象,将文化美学置于外交场景之中,让跨越半个多世纪的交往,有了可触摸、可传世的器物载体。
使馆首发:品牌的外交表达
时值中比建交55周年,Leysen莱绅通灵将「鎏光织金·竹」典藏系列的首发地设于比利时王国驻华大使馆。比利时王国驻华大使安博宁先生以见证方身份亲历出席,与Leysen莱绅通灵高层共同为新品揭幕。
发布会上,比利时王国驻华大使安博宁先生对品牌在推动比利时艺术珠宝发展、促进中比文化交流、守护精湛工艺与美学品质方面发挥的作用予以了肯定并为其颁授艺术推广相关荣誉,认可其作为中比美学对话关键角色的价值,并希望其继续以珠宝为载体,架起两国艺术与文化互通的桥梁。
礼赠溯源:外交的恒常生长
Leysen莱绅通灵源于欧洲艺术风格,承袭百年工艺积淀,以艺术美学为信仰,运用意大利织金工艺重释匠心,引领“艺术黄金+高端镶嵌”新赛道,融汇东西方经典文化符号,诞生众多传世之作。
溯源中比建交国礼,2009年“蓝火真心钻”以其独创的“真心式钻石切割工艺”,在比利时王储见证下赠予中国政府代表团,为品牌的文化交流翻开了新的一页;而今,“鎏光织金·竹”新品发布,则进一步将这一文化脉络延伸至黄金与织金工艺之中,让这段礼赠渊源继续传承,从历史性馈赠,走向可佩戴、可珍藏的文化表达。
竹自东方来,织就西方骨,从“蓝火真心钻”到“鎏光织金·竹”,Leysen莱绅通灵将这段长达55年的外交关系,借“竹”的意象徐徐展开:扎根深厚,拔节从容,虚怀有容,临风不折。
工艺美学:新品的“中韵西骨”
「鎏光织金·竹」系列借西方织金工艺演绎东方竹意象,呈现出独特的“中韵西骨”。
意大利织金工艺作为Leysen莱绅通灵品牌的技术基底,源于15世纪佛罗伦萨金匠圣地阿雷佐。前卡地亚设计William Rigoulet操刀设计推出【鎏光织金系列】,把意大利织金工艺中的「金丝编织」与「织纹雕金」融入产品设计之中,将“立体编织肌理”与“鎏光渐变光影”打造成了意大利织金工艺标志性视觉符号,使美而不同的织金工艺在当代拥有更高艺术辨识度,让佩戴者自带光芒,一眼出众。「鎏光织金·竹」将此视觉符号沿用至东方竹节中,将竹的经纬结构与织物美学相融合,以织物肌理呈现竹的节奏与秩序,转译竹节多重美好期许。
从“雕琢典藏艺作”到“推动文化交流”, 此次馆藏系列的设计借东方竹这一颇具东方风骨的精神意象,实现品牌的跨文化表达。
据年报信息,其织金工艺相关产品上市后累计销售额近2亿元,相关话题全网阅读量超过5000万。
竹的生长,从不是一夜拔节,中比55年的交往如此,一个品牌在跨文化语境中找准自身位置亦如此。Leysen莱绅通灵在比利时大使馆种下的这根“竹”,或许正是下一个55年里,商业品牌参与文化对话的一种新表达。
