SINGAPORE, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In an era of noise, Light Stone Jewellery articulates a new dialect of quiet luxury through the silence of its forms. Unveiling a portfolio that functions as a "Wearable Culture Map," the brand introduces a curatorial approach to designer jewellery, bridging the structural rigour of modern aesthetics with the profound resonance of Eastern antiquity.
Light Stone stands as an intellectual proposition for the contemporary woman. It rejects the transient nature of trend-driven fashion, choosing instead to anchor its identity in the permanence of the modern heirloom. The brand's philosophy treats every necklace and earring as a geographical coordinate—a precise intersection where the weight of history meets the lightness of contemporary design. Simultaneously, the designs channel a "quiet power," reflecting the inner strength of the contemporary woman—one who, like deep waters, remains composed and unaffected by the external noise of the world.
The Urban Planner's Eye: Structure and Void
At the helm of this aesthetic system is Founder Jingjing, whose pedigree in Urban Planning and a Master in Management from ESCP Europe, combined with GIA certifications, informs the brand's distinct architectural logic.
Jingjing approaches jewellery not merely as ornamentation, but as "Spatial Composition."
"To me, a piece of jewelry is a coordinate," says Founder Jingjing. "It maps the silence of history onto the modern body. I navigate the space between structure and instinct, applying the principles of urban planning—balance, void, and tension—to allow the wearer to inhabit the design, rather than simply display it."
The Brutality of Perfection: The Celadon & Ru Kiln Collection
The core of the collection is the Celadon Tianqing (天青) Collection, a testament to the brand's uncompromising standards. This series utilizes two primary elements: the nearly lost Ru Kiln technique and Longquan Celadon—a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Among these, the Ru Kiln pieces are exceptionally rare. The firing process requires temperatures exceeding 1380°C, with rare agate infused into the glaze to achieve the legendary "sky after rain" hue. The extreme chemical volatility of this process results in a high failure rate. Light Stone collaborates with master ceramicists to revive this millennial art, yet the selection criteria are ruthless. In every batch of Ru Kiln beads, those meeting the brand's standard are far below 10%, often dropping to a mere 5%.
The majority are discarded for microscopic imperfections in form or glaze surface. Only the surviving 5-10%—possessing the perfect "Ice Crackle" texture and an unblemished jade-like warmth—are elevated into the Celadon Imperial Earrings. This scarcity is not manufactured; it is the physical residue of a structural dialogue between fire and gravity.
A Cartography of Four Dimensions
The "Wearable Culture Map" extends beyond porcelain, plotting four distinct aesthetic coordinates across China's material history:
- The Silk Road (Dunhuang) Collection: Capturing the golden echoes of desert murals, these pieces translate ancient floral patterns into geometric gold vermeil structures.
- Totem (Majiayao) Collection: Drawing from prehistoric motifs, this series creates a primitive tension, turning Neolithic lines into bold, sculptural forms.
- Filigree (Huasi) Collection: A study in silver precision. This series deploys the imperial art of thread-weaving to build air-light structures that possess the strength of architectural steel.
- Celadon (Tianqing) Collection: The crystallization of silence, offering a tactile serenity that cools the skin and calms the mind.
The "Culture Map" is a living geography. Continuing its exploration of diverse regional craftsmanship, Light Stone has announced an upcoming expansion into the art of Lacquer, marking a new coordinate on this unfolding aesthetic journey.

Announced alongside M Series Smart Assist Module launch on Kickstarter
NEW YORK, April 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yarbo, a company focused on intelligent yard robotics, today announced the Yarbo Open Platform, a long-term initiative currently under development and planned for release in early 2027. Designed to expand Yarbo's modular yard robot system across both software and hardware, the platform is intended to support deeper customization, broader smart home connectivity, and new forms of user and developer-driven functionality over time. The announcement coincides with the launch of the Smart Assist Module (SAM) for the M Series on Kickstarter.
The Open Platform is not available today. Instead, it reflects Yarbo's roadmap for how its ecosystem may evolve over time, including a three-layer software architecture built around an Open API, SDK, and no-code Automation Editor, as well as a hardware expansion framework designed to support future user-built and developer-built modules.
A Structured Approach to Software Integration and Automation
The Yarbo Open Platform is structured to accommodate different levels of technical expertise, from everyday users to experienced developers. It is designed to provide multiple entry points into the Yarbo ecosystem, enabling both software-driven automation and hardware-level expansion.
On the software side, the platform consists of three layers:
- Yarbo Open API — intended to enable connectivity between Yarbo devices and external platforms, allowing them to participate in broader home automation scenarios.
- Yarbo SDK — a set of development tools, including code libraries and documentation, designed for developers building custom features or integrations.
- Yarbo Automation Editor — a visual, drag-and-drop interface within the Yarbo app that allows users to create automation workflows without writing code.
Together, these components are intended to make automation accessible to a wide range of users, while also supporting more advanced development use cases.
The platform is also designed to support compatibility with widely used smart home ecosystems, including Home Assistant, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, enabling users to incorporate Yarbo into existing connected home setups.
Extending Capability Through Hardware
In addition to software capabilities, the Open Platform introduces a hardware expansion approach designed to extend Yarbo's functionality beyond its existing modules.
At the center of this is CoreBridge, a standardized hardware interface currently in development that is intended to provide access to Yarbo's mechanical mounting points, power system, and data connections. It is designed to support third-party development and user-built extensions, allowing new types of functionality beyond pre-defined modules.
One example of this extensibility is an electromagnet-based module, which can be attached via CoreBridge to enable Yarbo to latch onto and move objects such as garbage bins. In a potential use scenario, this could enable automated movement of a bin to the curb on collection day and its return afterward.
This combination of software and hardware openness reflects an effort to expand the role of outdoor robotics beyond fixed-function devices.
Smart Assist Module Launch on Kickstarter
Alongside the Open Platform announcement, Yarbo is launching the Smart Assist Module (SAM) for the M Series on Kickstarter.
The module introduces two primary features designed to expand how users interact with their yard robot in everyday use:
- Follow Me Mode — enabling Yarbo to move alongside the user while carrying tools or materials, reducing the need for manual transport during yard work.
- Patrol Mode — allowing Yarbo to move along customizable routes around the property, with features such as remote live view, app-based alerts, and optional audio notifications via its built-in speaker, providing an added layer of awareness and convenience for users managing outdoor spaces.
The Smart Assist Module is positioned as part of Yarbo's broader effort to extend the practical use cases of its modular system.
Looking Ahead
The Yarbo Open Platform is planned for release in early 2027 and is being developed to support both the Y Series and M Series. By introducing a framework that combines software integration, developer tools, and hardware extensibility, Yarbo aims to enable a broader range of applications while allowing users to define how the system evolves over time.
Further details will be shared as development progresses.
