When you think of knot tying as an art, the idea of “macrame” often comes to mind. While this may conjure up visions of 1970s style – in the manner of fussy hangings or old-fashion fringe coasters, it isn’t so in the case of the jewellery created by Lorraine Lee.

This talented Malaysian has made the act of tying knots fashionable and deservedly modern. Just take a look at the chic earrings she creates. All of her handmade pieces won’t look out of place on a runway.
