Her signature collection is called ‘Uncivilized Elegance’ and reflects the duality of nature by combining intricately crafted precious metals with earth-based materials. She says this collection aims to accentuate the raw inner beauty within each woman who wears her pieces. Chong hand-selects all of her gemstones, intentionally seeking slightly ‘imperfect’ materials with the character she admires for her aesthetic creations. Her pieces are made to last. She educates customers on jewelry care and cleaning on her website and happily services jewelry for a lifetime of wear, offering a complimentary ‘ring check- up’ for engagement and bridal pieces.
People comment on Mabel’s creativity and resourcefulness with jewelry design. Once she re-formed a woman’s treasured bracelet into a convertible piece that could also be worn as a necklace right in the store while the two talked and shared ideas. Another customer praised her work turning a stone into a pendant necklace, and yet another person described how she brought his girlfriend’s individual design idea for an engagement ring to life. Her work has inspired a following over the years and her employees and fans have built a thriving community online, celebrating each new piece as she showcases it.
