Embroidered Chinese silk fabrics placed under glass are the focus of these stylish accessories from Shi Studio of Canada. The modern meets tradition, East meets West, collection includes belts, pendants, earrings, chokers, cuff links and cuff style bracelets.

I was particularly attracted to the trendy [cuffs and chokers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts) made of thick textured leather accented with the intricately patterned textiles from the Far East protected behind clear glass. You can even custom design your own piece on the website. Choose the shape you want and select a fabric from insects and dragons to blossoms and bamboo.
