珍貴珊瑚是深海生命，也是珠寶藝術中極具象徵意義的材質。L’ÉCOLE 珠寶藝術學院香港分校現正呈獻《深珊藏珍》展覽，匯聚約 120 件珊瑚珠寶創作及珍罕標本，從生物學與寶石學、精湛工藝及珠寶藝術史三大視角，帶領觀眾重新認識珊瑚在自然與文化之間的多重身份。展覽期間，10 月舉行的「日落雅聚」文學活動亦將以文字與意象為入口，延伸觀眾對珍貴珊瑚的想像與感知。

Precious coral is both a form of deep-sea life and a material rich in symbolic meaning within jewelry arts. L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts is presenting Precious Coral, from Curiosity to Treasures at its Hong Kong campus, bringing together around 120 coral jewelry creations and rare specimens. Through the perspectives of biology and gemology, craftsmanship, and jewelry art history, the exhibition invites audiences to rediscover coral’s many identities between nature and culture. Alongside the exhibition, the October Magic Hour literature programme offers another entry point into the imagination and symbolism of precious coral.

推介原因 WHY IT MATTERS

數千年來，珍貴珊瑚被人類佩戴、交易、雕琢與崇拜，卻也長久以來被誤認為礦石或植物。《深珊藏珍》從這個迷思出發，提醒觀眾：珊瑚其實是海洋動物，並帶領觀眾重新理解它在自然與珠寶藝術之間的多重身份。

For thousands of years, precious coral has been worn, traded, carved and revered, yet it has often been mistaken for a mineral or a plant. Precious Coral, from Curiosity to Treasures begins with this misconception, reminding visitors that coral is in fact a marine animal, and invites them to reconsider its many identities between nature and jewelry arts.

重點一覽 HIGHLIGHTS

1️⃣ 從海平面下潛至深海 Descending from Sea Level to the Deep Sea

展覽以沉浸式體驗揭開帷幕，模擬從海平面下潛至 2,000 米深海的視覺歷程。參觀者進入昏暗的空間，彷彿親臨珍貴珊瑚棲息的寂靜深海。展覽同時展示原枝及打磨後的珍貴珊瑚，並以地圖標示已知珍貴珊瑚床的分佈，讓觀眾理解珍貴珊瑚與珊瑚礁在棲息環境和生態角色上的差異。

The exhibition opens with an immersive experience that simulates a descent from sea level to 2,000 metres beneath the ocean. Visitors enter a dimmed space that evokes the quiet deep sea where precious coral grows. Raw and polished coral branches are displayed alongside maps showing known coral beds, helping audiences understand the difference between precious coral and reef coral.

2️⃣ 展隅之外：從藏珍閣看珊瑚收藏Beyond the Exhibition: Coral and the Cabinet of Curiosities

除了展覽本身，L’ÉCOLE 亦設有「展隅之外：收藏珍貴珊瑚」成人大師班，帶領參加者深入早期收藏家的世界，探索「藏珍閣」（wunderkammer）的歷史。活動以講座與展覽導賞結合，讓觀眾理解文藝復興時期的收藏文化如何把藝術、科學與海洋奇珍匯聚於同一空間，並進一步呼應《深珊藏珍》的展場設計概念。

Alongside the exhibition, L’ÉCOLE also presents the adult masterclass Cabinet of Curiosities – Precious Coral, inviting participants to step into the world of early collectors and explore the history of the wunderkammer. Combining a lecture with a guided exhibition tour, the programme reveals how Renaissance collecting culture brought together art, science and oceanic wonders, while echoing the scenography of Precious Coral, from Curiosity to Treasures.

3️⃣ 從珊瑚枝到珠寶：打磨與雕刻的工藝 From Coral Branch to Jewel: Polishing and Carving

展覽第二章聚焦珍貴珊瑚如何從自然材質轉化為珠寶與藝術品。珊瑚枝經由拋光與雕刻，化身珠串、鑲嵌材料、雕塑以至珠寶，每一件作品背後都反映工匠的耐心與精準技術。展覽將工藝知識與文化意涵連結起來，讓觀眾看見珊瑚從自然物轉化為藝術珍品的過程。

The second chapter focuses on how precious coral is transformed from a natural material into jewelry and art objects. Through polishing and carving, coral branches become beads, inlays, sculptures and jewels. Behind each object lies the patience and precision of craftsmanship.

4️⃣ 文學裡的珊瑚意象：從文字延伸展覽想像 Coral in Chinese Literature: Extending the Exhibition Through Words

作為展覽延伸活動，「日落雅聚」將於 10 月 3 日舉行 文學裡的珊瑚意象。當代作家黃怡將與《深珊藏珍》展覽聯合策展人、寶石學家兼 L’ÉCOLE 講師 Ann Lee（李德恩）展開深度文學對談，帶領參加者穿梭於古典詩詞與現代文本之間，細味珊瑚如何作為愛情、高貴與神秘的象徵，在不同時代的文化敘事中留下詩意身影。

As an extension of the exhibition, Coral in Chinese Literature will take place on 3 October. Contemporary writer Wong Yi and Ann Lee, Exhibition Co-curator, Gemologist and L’ÉCOLE Lecturer, will lead a literary conversation on coral, moving between classical Chinese poetry and modern prose to explore how coral has appeared as a symbol of love, nobility and mystery across cultural narratives.
