Victor Yiu, director of Zuri Jewellery, explained, “Our goal is to captivate younger audiences and introduce them to a joyful jewellery experience. Steven’s fairytale-inspired designs are very popular among young people. His creative vision clicked perfectly with our goal.” Choi told JNA he drew inspiration from the Chinese legend The Butterfly Lovers or Liang Zhu about an unconventional romance between two lovers who defy feudal society restrictions in pursuit of true love.
