About
Xanh Studio is a collection of contemporary jewelry and accessories that blend modern technology with valued tradition. Founded by Rachel Nhan, a Vietnamese-American Texas native based in New York City, Xanh Studio draws inspiration from her cultural heritage and nostalgic experiences.
The word "Xanh" (pronounced [Sahn]) signifies both green and blue colors in Vietnamese, embodying the brand's concept of holding multiple identities within one entity. Xanh Studio explores the duality and complexity of balancing different definitions and telling a story that is the constant evolution and interaction between them.
After a decade-long career in fashion design, Rachel felt the desire to reflect on her background as a digital sculptor and celebrate the visual iconographies that have brought her the most joy. During her time in New York City, she has always found solace in the vibrant, bustling neighborhood of Chinatown. While hundreds of miles away from home, this community stemming from a culture that shares many influences with her own, has become a home away from home.
Each piece at Xanh Studio is created with meticulous care, a great attention to detail, and an emphasis on distinct form. Digitally crafted in 3D CAD, these concepts are transformed into precious metal through the art of lost wax casting and hand finished in the historic diamond district of New York City.
