How to respond scientifically to soy sauce costing more than chicken

Good jewellery is not only stunning in the present; it should also remain fresh and fascinating for years to come. This diamond ear clip is the final, definitive interpretation of that idea. As gold prices continue to rise, setting a single centre stone on an earring mount would seem a pity. So we gave it infinite possibilities. It can be the cluster base for a South Sea golden-green pearl, with cool lustre spilling...

Is it a ring, or a financial product?

It is both jewellery and confidence. Afternoon sunlight falls across the ring face like the softly gathered sleeve pleats of a duchess’s gown. The texture of 18K gold carries a fluffy softness, like properly pressed court fabric - full, yet never ostentatious; the dark green lustre of the Tahitian black pearl is the tenderness of the deep sea. In a time of fluctuating gold prices, it is not only...

Pearl ring guide

Before, many clients didn’t know how the pearl swapping works for this beautiful rope-style ring 😂 They thought one design had been made into several rings. No no no! Of course it is one setting with multiple uses [smirkingR]

A similar tennis bracelet - where should the money be spent?

For us, the tennis bracelet has always been a signature bestseller. While enquiry rates remain high, the price often stops some clients in their tracks: 'All diamond bracelets are more or less the same, so why are yours so much more expensive?' Are they really that similar - and where does the extra cost come from? The arrangement, cut and size of the diamonds, and whether they are consistent, all directly affect the final result. This bracelet...

A diamond bracelet without having to choose

If you cannot choose between different diamond shapes, then simply put all the cuts together. To link marquise, pear, emerald cut, heart shape and more, the metal claws are made slender yet secure during setting. Every diamond’s position is repeatedly adjusted so the spacing appears even and the light passes through more uniformly. Jewellery crafts...

A rebirth of love across time

Old pearl and diamond gourd: a rebirth of love across time. This gourd pendant holds a love mellowed by years. It was a gift from the client’s father to her mother 20 years ago. Her mother wore it close to the skin day and night, never even taking it off for bathing. Over time the pearl slowly lost its original lustre. We received this deeply cherished...

Fish-tail diamond eternity ring

This setting makes the diamonds appear rounder and fuller. Its design inspiration comes from a swallow’s tail, creating a lively and elegant impression. However, fish-tail setting is relatively complex to make, requiring more time and gold, so the cost is higher. Among Western houses, fish-tail setting is more commonly used. For example, Harry Wi...

Celeste mini class: colour

Today let’s talk about AU750 (hereafter referred to as 18K). Why do I stress 'AU750' at the beginning? Because under international law, only gold content above 75% may be marked 'AU750' on a ring, whereas 'G18k' only needs to be >72%. To comply with overseas testing, our gold proportion is ≥ 75.6%. 1...

The heart ring with the highest screen time in Gossip Girl

As a fan who binge-watched Gossip Girl, I was excited throughout the process of making this ring. This ring is the gift Nate gave Blair in season one (does anyone else still feel deeply upset about this couple!!!!) - witnessing her transformation from Princess B to Queen B. If the world has countless dazzling Serenas, there is only one resilient...

How do you measure your ring size accurately?

Many clients are not entirely sure of their ring size. In truth, many online ring-size guides are unreliable. Here are a few tips to share: 1. If you are someone who is prone to swelling, remember to measure your finger size twice, morning and evening, and tell us both results. 2. Generally speaking, ring sizes...

Stop wrapping your ring in a paper napkin

We spent more than half a year making this storage pouch. The original corduroy version was impossible for us to accept, as I am a cat owner in a household full of little troublemakers. Corduroy attracts fur and dust, so a fabric that gathers dust is completely unacceptable. Because we wanted a jewellery pouch that could be carried every day (stop wrapping your jewellery in paper napkins!), the 10 x 10 size is perfect for some commuter...

A non-cooperative model and a beautifully stunning lab-grown Paraíba

A piece of jewellery whose luxurious presence is breathtaking from the first glance, with an electric blue that ripples deep into the heart. How do you describe the texture of Paraíba’s ocean, the ebb and flow of the tide carrying the scent of sunlight on the breeze? Life is the sea - deeper and more expansive than any dream, yet still in need of the quiet brought from afar. Just as copper gives the colour...

Should you buy a ring in gold or K gold?

A richly textured tri-colour gold ring. We respected the original by making it in separate parts, ensuring the effect while also avoiding any risk of wear. The clearly defined interior and exterior tri-colour metals perfectly express the designer’s original intention. The designer wanted to use the three colours to express family affection, friendship and love, and also to interpret the past, present and future. When it comes to 18K gold, people always say...

g gold actually needs a black-hearted, rubbish jeweller

In the past two days, many clients and industry peers have also messaged me privately to express their concern and opinions about this matter. We are very sorry for the trouble and inconvenience caused to the client, and we will consider and correct things appropriately. Thank you all for your trust and support. We also hope that if anyone has doubts, you can speak to us directly instead of disturbing other clients. In future we will continue to work hard to do our best...
