Commenting on her work, The French Jewelry Post says Feng is a "jeweler of the 21st century". It also says she is considered to be a young master of high jewelry from China, and her works are called Chinese designs made in Paris.

Feng, who was born into a well-to-do family in 1985 in Hangzhou, the capital of East China's Zhejiang province, says her love for art comes from her great-grandfather who was a court artist in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Besides, her parents also like collecting antiques and art works.

Feng started to learn Chinese painting and calligraphy at 5 with a local master. And later, with a strong Chinese traditional art background, she chose to learn product design, a relatively trendy major at the China Academy of Art.

Her four years in London opened her eyes and mind of art. As an intern, she was trained and worked for the jewelry department of Alexander McQueen in London.

There she found herself gradually falling in love with jewelry, she says, adding: "In the workshop I found that designing a piece of jewelry was just like painting with gemstones."
