The Master Jeweler is a brilliant tale of resistance and courage set against the glittering backdrop of the world of jewelry making.

It tells the story of a young woman and her determination in her ascent in a profession that is both elite and dangerous. It is a tale of yearning, passion, and suspense spanning Shanghai’s golden age to the turbulent years of the Japanese occupation and beyond.
