Mindy Lam is a Chinese-American artist and couture jewelry designer who weaves various metals into her signature metal lace with Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones, and other precious metals. Originally born on a chicken farm in Hong Kong, the glamour and fantasy Lam creates now is a far cry from her childhood experiences. Her work reflects the craftsmanship of the classic couture houses of old, but with a refresheningly modern edge with the fusion of her signature florals and metals.

In her long design career, Lam was a favorite at Henri Bendel in New York City for almost a decade. Her work has been featured in publications such as Elle, Brides Magazine, Glamour, People, Life & Style, L’Officiel, and Vogue Italia. Lam’s work has been exhibited at the Taubman Museum of Art and the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge, MA.
