The collaboration came about when Ye met Nadja Swarovski, a member of the Swarovski executive board. Atelier Swarovski is the house's luxury crystal accessories line that works with leading designers to explore the creative potential of crystal. Previous artists include Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou and Zaha Hadid.

"She really impressed me because she brings the brand not just to become a product but a gateway to link different cultures together. And this is what I want to do myself," Ye says.

"Crystal is actually a perfect element to describe and explain the Flower of Life, because it is a geometric form and a lot of the Swarovski pieces and cuts are also geometric."

Ye says she has frequently dreamed of the pattern of the Flower of Life since she was 5 years old. She never saw it in real life until more than 20 years later when she was observing the wooden windows in the Imperial Ancestral Hall while looking for her wedding venue.

"I was shocked. Music instantly started to play in my mind. I knew that moment that this was more than a pattern," she says.
