Fake Plastic Love

Bold, playful jewellery for people who refuse to be subtle.

Where the chaos lives

scarlett's bench

Hi, I am Scarlett, and this is my workbench.

It looks chaotic, and it is, but every scattered tool and half-finished experiment is part of the process.

I work alone in my Hong Kong studio, cutting, soldering, forming, polishing, and torch-firing. Nothing is mass-produced. Nothing is rushed.

From this slightly unhinged bench in Hong Kong, my jewellery has travelled to 20 different countries(and counting)

Every piece begins here, somewhere between control and creative madness, before it finds its way across the world.

How it really started

One day, I decided to start a jewellery project. With no jewellery background, I had no idea where to begin. I experimented with different materials to bring my ideas to life, from beads and clay to resin, before eventually discovering metal.

In 2020, when the pandemic slowed everything down, I grew impatient waiting for someone else to make the metal pieces I designed. So I turned to YouTube tutorials and bought a pile of tools that made absolutely no sense to me.

At first, I could barely hand-saw a simple shape, and I nearly burned my dinner table during soldering experiments.

After spending up to 12 hours a day playing with tools and learning through trial and error, things slowly began to click. What started as a quarantine experiment eventually became Fake Plastic Love.

The chaotic origin story — told properly.

Wearable objects with attitude

My work is inspired by ordinary objects, personal experiences, childhood memories, and the strange thoughts that appear during daydreams. I transform them into jewellery that moves, clicks, spins, or invites interaction.

Some pieces are playful. Some are nostalgic. Some are intentionally absurd.

I release small collections every now and then, each exploring a different creative obsession. Rather than following trends, I follow whatever idea refuses to leave me alone.

Made by hand. Always.

Every piece goes through:

– Hand sawing
– Soldering
– Metal forming
– Wax carving
– Casting
– Polishing
– Torch-fired enamelling

No factories. No production lines. Just fire, metal, and an unreasonable number of hours.

I’m self-taught and constantly experimenting. The evolution is part of the brand.

Made in Hong Kong

Living in Hong Kong means living in contrast.

Neon lights and antique markets.
Tiny apartments and towering glass buildings.
Tradition colliding with reinvention.
Where east meets west.

That tension, between old and new, delicate and bold, shapes everything I create.
