This piece is inspired by Taiwanese bubble tea, a milk-tea drink known for its soft beige color and chewy black tapioca pearls. The drink’s visual contrast informed the jewellery design: translucent pearl-like cabochons reflect the appearance of milk tea, while small dark gemstones reference tapioca pearls resting at the bottom of the cup. The gently curved band mirrors the fluid movement of tea when stirred or shaken. Bubble tea is typically prepared by brewing black or oolong tea, mixing it with milk or creamer, and adding tapioca pearls that are cooked until glossy and evenly rounded — a process that directly influenced the smooth surface finish of the stones.
