Xia Penghao is an independent jewelry designer and maker whose work forms a tangible bridge between digital worlds and physical culture. With decades of experience—from a foundation in classical fine arts to a twenty-year career as a 3D artist and art director in the gaming industry—he now channels his expertise in digital form and visual language into two distinct jewelry lines:
FireYa — Bold, expressive, and rooted in the energy of street culture and contemporary subversion.
Bone Bud — Sculptural, delicate, and focused on the interplay of form, growth, and fragility.
Design Language: Pixels, Punk & Presence
His aesthetic is born from the collision of digital precision and subcultural identity. Drawing from gaming, anime, punk, and streetwear, each piece carries the attitude of a wearable artifact—aggressive in form, intentional in detail, and alive with the spirit of rebellion. This is jewelry for those who navigate worlds both on and off-screen.
Process: From Model to Metal
Every piece begins in the digital space, sculpted with the same discipline and vision honed over years in 3D art. These models are then realized through traditional jewelry-making techniques—lost-wax casting, hand-finishing, and patination—transforming virtual designs into tangible, wearable forms. Metals are selected for their character, not their status, with an emphasis on feel, weight, and presence.
This is not mass production. It’s a deliberate, hands-on process where every piece carries the marks of its making.
