The classic tricolour gold combination seems to go with anything. Its exacting handling of gold achieves a balance between softness and nobility; the sharp eyeliner-like line in the green cat’s-eye is playful and lively. One ring, two forms of refinement.
The most special thing about this ring is the hand-carved gold technique. Every gold ridge line was hand-chiselled and polished by the artisan. Unlike the rigid edge of machine setting, it is paired with a marquise diamond halo setting, which makes the peacock green of the Tahitian pearl appear even more vivid.
When we step beyond the fixed label of diamond ring = engagement ring, old-style hand-cut diamonds paired with sculpted gold craftsmanship become something worn not as a token of betrothal, but as a vintage preference belonging entirely to oneself.

This 8-carat sapphire is flanked by 1-carat pear-shaped diamonds on either side. The classic three-stone design may seem unadorned, yet it demands careful thought, with every detail painstakingly considered. The loyalty of the Royal Blue sapphire, the steadfastness of the diamonds, and the permanence of platinum together forge a witness to their love. Congratulations on your marriage.

This little gold-and-diamond necklace feels like his forever ardent nature - angular, yet with an innate gentle glow.
Minimalist claw setting with a one-carat diamond. Crisp, angular lines, unlike an ordinary abrupt join. Beautiful 18K gold and a comfortable ear-clip angle let warm gold wrap around full fire, effortlessly delivering that cool, refined sense of luxury.
While waiting, the client was always a little uneasy about whether apple-green would suit the natural tone of K yellow. The answer is: nonsense, as long as the metal colour is stylish enough. The colour of 18k gold actually varies slightly from one maker to another; the precise difference depends on the other 25% of precious metals. Does 18k fade? No. 18k...
This time, two clients chose to make tricolour gold rings almost at the same moment. Another client said that when she gets married, she absolutely wants a tricolour gold wedding ring. It is also the ring I wear most often in daily life. For jewellery, no matter how dazzling the array, nothing surpasses one ring that feels just right. If I could keep only one ring, I would definitely choose tricolour gold. Yellow gold carries weight, white gold...
Elegance is the only beauty that never fades. It makes no noise, yet it has its own voice. It is the refined confidence hidden within a collar on the commute; it is the finishing touch that brightens the eyes at a gathering. Most of us live quiet lives of desperation, and true elegance is about lighting a small beam for oneself amid the ordinary.
It is the cinnabar mole in one’s heart. The red of the centre stone is intense and unabashedly vivid. The princess-cut diamonds on either side are set seamlessly, leaving the face of the ring smooth and level. Clear and restrained, they make the centre stone seem even more composed. The 18K gold ring shank sits on the hand with comfortable softness, yet carries an undeniable nobility. It is not the kind of jewellery that dazzles at first sight, but rather like a cloth-bound volume...
Seeing this ring, I imagined a young woman walking barefoot along a golden sacred path strewn with petals. The pearl’s smooth surface shimmers with a soft iridescence, while chased gold motifs wind like classical colonnades, carrying the whispers of mythology. In the client’s photographs, the halo of light at four o’clock makes the ring feel like a token left on earth by a muse. As dusk descends over the Acropolis and the setting sun...
In Duras’s writing, love was once compared to 'an undying desire, a hero’s dream in a weary life'. This ring, in turn, turns that abstract longing into something tangible 💛 Yellow, white and rose gold flow together like three parallel rivers. They shine separately, yet entwine with one another, like souls in love that are both independent and symbiotic. 💎...
When the cool Australian South Sea pearl meets a warm biscuit-gold mount, it carries a softer, misted warmth than the natural tone of 18K gold, and more of a vintage afterglow than white gold. The dignity of the Australian South Sea pearl, the retro character of biscuit gold and the brilliance of diamonds are woven together into a jewellery aesthetic that can be passed down, and into elegance one can touch at one’s fingertips.
A rich Royal Blue sapphire condenses the light of the midnight deep sea, held aloft by a halo of diamonds like a flower that will never fade. The solid 18K gold base means every lift of the hand carries a quiet luxury. It is not decoration that follows the crowd, but confidence hidden in the details, a romance understood by those who favour the classic and the substantial.
A client sent us a pair of Celine earrings, saying she had worn them twice and already felt the quality was too flimsy. She asked whether we could recreate them 1:1 in 18K gold as a true luxury substitute. Of course we said yes. After all, rather than chasing logos, we know far better how to turn 'disappointment' into 'astonishment'. The same form, but with the substantial weight and...
Natural textures with a milky white base and a hint of sugar tone are framed in 18K gold, which not only supports the organic curves of the rough stone, but also conceals an ingenious detachable mechanism. It can be worn as a warm wrist ornament beside the ear, and when removed it becomes a unique pendant at the neck. No need to choose between occasions, and no need to struggle over style - much like the ancient Chinese devotion to jade, 'if there is no good reason, never leave it from the body'. One object, two...
The electric blue-green of Paraíba tourmaline is the phosphorescent shimmer moving through the deep sea. The classic outward-sweeping form of the ring shank is like the curve of a hull cutting through waves. Step-cut and round diamonds in full pavé are the silver spray thrown up by the wave tops. The cool tone of 18k gold supports this vivid blue, as though one can hear a low hum from the depths. It is not a static ring, but more like a vessel carrying...
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...
Wading the river to pick hibiscus, the orchid marsh thick with fragrant grasses. The pinkish-white jade texture is like lotus root soup just beginning to melt in a pond - softly luminous, restrained, yet quietly full of tender strength. The 18K gold rim lends elegance through simplicity, while the coloured cotton cord holds together a softness from Jiangnan, giving Wu dialect’s gentle cadence a touch more freedom. This clear Eastern romance is the tenderness preserved by time, and also the poetry hidden in a small space.
This Akoya pearl’s gentle warmth is not a deliberate embellishment. It is the quiet gathered over years in the deep sea, and the almost-imperceptible rainbow sheen within its iridescence. Like the morning light in a snowy country, it is clean and tender. The 18K gold ring shank is densely pavé-set with tiny diamonds, as though scattered stars have been worked into the curve, holding this pearl of sea-coloured light with steady grace. It need not shout, nor compete...
Collecting and appreciating traditional objects has always been my own hobby. Gradually, old clients and friends began asking me to help them with bead strings too, so I decided to organise a batch of ready stock at year-end and share it with fellow enthusiasts as a little benefit~ Every strand is assembled according to the standards I use for my own pieces: I would not claim the quality is absolutely top-tier, but I can guarantee there is no synthetic trickery. The mellow richness of agarwood, the honeyed warmth of amber,...
The subtle life of plants and trees each carries its own essence. An ice-type vivid green lucky bean is set among clusters of diamonds, like spring still unfallen in the garden. The curve of the 18k gold ring shank resembles flowing water around branches, while the light of the diamonds is like morning mist drifting over leaf tips. The warmth of jadeite is the restrained elegance of Eastern aesthetics, blending with the crispness of diamond light; it is not deliberate ornament, but the wish for smoothness and ease, hidden in a small space of green.
All good things in the world are meant to be shared with those who understand them. This third identical 1895 platinum ring is a meeting with one’s own heart’s desire. The classic form is like a motif in literature; the cool character of platinum is like the “silent harmony” of prose. Repeated three times, the same style is not mere repetition, but a further affirmation of this enduring beauty.
Mu Xin said, “Craft is the trace of beauty.” This ring uses carved-gold craftsmanship to shape the metal’s texture, allowing the gold surface to bloom into natural folds, with a ruby set among them like a flame lifted from Yeats’s lines. There is no deliberate polishing; the carving lines are allowed to grow along the bones of the metal. The roughness of cool gold and the brilliance of ruby collide, turning handcraft into...
Craving something is a taste with a threshold. This Pigeon Blood ring puts that taste into practice. The richness of the Pigeon Blood ruby collides with the clarity of diamonds, much like the red and white broths of a yin-yang hotpot: one half blazing, one half clear. The supporting 18k gold is like the texture of the steam and heat around a hotpot. With no elaborate embellishment, it uses the clever contrast of red and white to capture the everyday warmth of the four seasons...
Maupassant described the Grand Palais in Paris as “the glass dome lifting up the whole sweep of daylight, steel bones threaded with an artistic galaxy”. The 18k gold structure echoes the Grand Palais’ steel framework, while step-cut diamonds are arranged in classical columns, recreating the power of order and authority in architecture, like the pillars of ancient Rome bearing the justice of the city-state, shaping the authoritative outline of the ring shank; the centre emerald...
Though the facets of old-cut diamonds do not follow modern regularity, they unfold into broad, gentle fire with depth. The three-stone structure leaves nothing to fault: the centre and accents support one another. It is also an excellent choice for layering with gold; paired with a plain band it looks elegant, and with coloured gemstones it remains entirely harmonious. Its sparkle is not flashy; when the hand lifts, it leaks a sense of time, holding the romance of another era.
Platinum naturally carries a cool, high-end metallic texture, wrapped around the softness of pink diamonds. This gentleness is not at all contrived. It is the softness that naturally leaks out from strength, the composure of not having to struggle desperately, the clear-headed satisfaction of giving oneself what one wants, the manifestation of ambition within daily life. Because beauty itself is an energy.
Art Deco symmetry meets the deep blue of sapphire and the warmth of agate. The cutting angle of the agate has been recalibrated so that within the geometric framework of the trapezoid border it reflects a deep-sea-like light. The curved surface of the metal fits the finger just right. The V-shaped facets on the side of the ring shank must align precisely with Art Deco’s straight lines, recreating the yellow...
The 18K gold supports the Pigeon Blood ruby, and the warm golden light spills over the setting, like afternoon sun slipping through an old wooden window frame, gently wrapping the flame-red stone. The facets of the old-cut diamonds have been polished by time; light falls into the texture of the 18K gold, then turns back towards the ruby’s heart. It is not a harsh brilliance, but a softened warmth. The softness of gold, the coolness of diamonds, the richness of red, all entwined around the finger, like an enduring...
The warm-gold ring shank has a silky texture, and that gentle yet substantial lustre is impossible to look away from. The pink diamond is held within the metal, with the warmth of gold making the pink seem even sweeter and softer. The lines curve with a relaxed, unforced ease. The casual feel of plain gold and the refined sweetness of pink diamond create an effortless high-end look.
The supple curved surface of a marquise full-green jadeite contrasts sharply with the cold, straight lines of the elongated step-cut side stones. 18K gold cleverly tempers this tension with a warm texture, preserving the edge of opposing forms while giving the whole piece a harmonious sense of luxury. This distinctive combination is precisely a gentle rebellion, a lonely kind of freedom - beyond the classic template, it hides a unique refusal to cater...
Beginning with Cartier’s first platinum ring in 1895, the design of a four-claw centre setting with diamond-set tiger-claw ring shank turned platinum craftsmanship into the mainstream of wedding rings for the next century. 130 years later, the neat symmetrical claws and the equally sized U-shaped settings remain our commitment to craftsmanship. Just like this client, who finds it comfortable to wear, easy to stack and endlessly versatile...
18K gold casts a vintage dome, while layered gold rings stand like carved corridor columns in a Republican-era mansion, holding the Australian South Sea pearl’s mellow whiteness securely. The carved-gold back resembles the muted gold patterns on the opening pages of an old book; every trace of texture is infused with vintage Nanyang charm. When it hangs at the neck, it is the weight of gold shattering passing years, the vintage form awakening old dreams, and in the light and shadow, what flows is nothing but time...
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...
The true warmth of craftsmanship lies in respecting everyday life. It need not be taken out only for special occasions - worn over a shirt cuff on the commute, its reflected glimmer never upstages the rest. The water resistance and durability of 18K gold and diamonds mean that even the occasional knock against a desk will not easily dislodge the micro-pavé stones. This un-fussy quality is exactly...
18K gold takes structuralism as its core, chiselling out a geometric skeleton with crisp edges and corners, while the matte texture gives the metal an artistic warmth by hand. The Tahitian black pearl is a soft gift from the deep sea, its rounded surface spreading a green-toned rainbow sheen that creates a charged visual dialogue with the metal’s angularity. The tsavorite beside it flashes with a vivid green edge, like a break in the order of structure...
As early as the 19th century, with the rise of the Art Nouveau movement, people began to pursue forms that replicated nature. Strictly speaking, this feather ring leans more towards deconstructing nature. Diamonds are interwoven through the middle of the feather lines to create a dense reflection of fire; along the main vein, we use diamond sandblasting to mimic the feather’s downy texture; at the tips, pneumatic gold carving outlines the feather...
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...
When imperial majesty is wrapped around a sapphire and worn on the hand, this ring becomes an autonomous steward. The double-wing epaulettes forged in 18K gold lift the central Royal Blue centre stone. Trapezoid diamonds, like symbols of rank, and side round-cut diamonds, like the ornaments on an epaulette, seem under the light to refract the ceremonial brilliance of the Victorian era. Every gold line...
An 18K gold mount uses hand-beaded edging to recreate the folds of Rococo style. Hand-carved scrollwork dances like ribbons, forming a fine chain of tiny gold beads along the edge, much like lace covered in morning dew; diamonds tremble among the openwork leaf veins, lifting the soft rainbow sheen of a wild pearl. Every carved line traces the winding curves of maximalism, and when your fingertips touch it, the coldness of metal and the beauty of pearls...
Celeste Jewellery original design, please do not criticise if you do not like it. The design inspiration comes from a 1960s Van Cleef & Arpels ring, with 18K yellow gold condensed into a “rope”. Golden cords thread through large diamonds, paired with a golden South Sea pearl. The client specially found a golden pearl and sent it to us so we could complete the design. This ring has also undergone ongoing craft improvements and upgrades...
We have made several of this ring recently; it is truly a style that is pleasing to the eye and easy to wear. The plain gold ring shank is what clients often call a stylish K yellow. The beautiful gold surface shines like morning light just gathered up, its lustre carrying a subtle satin feel - not dazzling, yet as steady as happiness itself and growing ever more graceful. Such an enduring style perhaps lacks a little...
The 18K gold mount uses a symmetrical floral-leaf motif around the centre stone, with lines that combine geometric crispness and natural rhythm, echoing the design logic of vintage jewellery with its emphasis on proportion and symmetry. In material terms, the pearl’s organic warmth, the diamond’s mineral hardness and gold’s malleability create a textural contrast. In craftsmanship terms, the centre-stone "focal" layout and the accent-stone "framing"...
Within this ring, tricolour gold no longer stands for family, love and friendship. In the contest of the three colours, yellow gold refuses secondary softness, white gold favours sovereign sharpness, and rose gold is the tenderness beneath a hard exterior. The millimetre-perfect transitions between colours are a fine expression of the craftsman’s skill, redefining the rules rather than following them.
The pure texture of platinum wraps around the mellow softness of glass-type jadeite. The stars-all-over design glitters across the chest like a sky full of stars. On the back, the engraved hexagram symbolises protection and luck. Jadeite already carries auspicious meaning; the three elements woven together condense one’s hopes for life into a piece of jewellery. It is not only visual brilliance, but also a tender wish to be guarded and accompanied.
When it comes to Greek-style jewellery, its glorious peak must be found in the history of Ancient Greece. During the Minoan civilisation, filigree and granulation techniques emerged. In the Mycenaean period, engraving also appeared. The use of semi-precious stones and abundant metal gave jewellery even more splendour. This pair of distinctive bi jade and gold earrings is a tribute to the art of the Ancient Greeks, and also a...
This ring uses metal as its base, carved with delicate patterns that seem to hold stories of time. The oval red agate is warm and richly saturated. Classical and magnificent in one, it is a unique kind of romance and elegance ✨
The charm of old European-cut diamonds is surely the vast fire they show under sunlight, magnificent and brilliant like the starbursts of an older year. The deep sapphire seems to serve as a medium connecting past and present. Fine carved-gold lines wind along the side, recreating the craftsmanship of a golden age. This three-stone ring is a romance aged in the cellar of time; every edge says past, present and future.
The first time I saw this ring, it felt as though I had touched the sharp edge of a high priest’s sacred crown. The mount supports a large rubellite ring in an extremely minimal way, like the crisp grandeur of a high priest’s hat brim. The lines reject clutter and are as concise as a divine decree. The craftsman polished the 18k gold surface as though brushing a sacred vessel, so that every inch of metal gives off a satin-like...
These gold pearl earrings carry the unpretentious texture of ancient jewellery art. Made from 18K gold, they have a velvet-like metal finish, resembling the patterns on ancient Greek pottery and resting in the calm of time. South Sea golden pearls hang below, their lustre and velvety texture complementing each other - soft, mellow, distinctive and refined.
Sheryl wrote in her book: “Society always teaches us to do multiple-choice questions, but real life is a fill-in-the-blank.” When the client could not choose between two pearl drops with gemstone-like brilliance, why not place them together? The plain gold ring shank is free of elaborate decoration, carrying a vintage sense of line like a classic silhouette in an old film. Simple, yet full of...
Two hearts, each holding a different light. One is a deep, shadowed green, like a quiet forest; the other a warm golden yellow, like the afterglow of sunset. Within the union of 18k gold, they tell a singular romance. Every lift of the hand is a meeting of heart and heart.
Still the old performer, tricolour gold. Who would have thought tricolour gold with fiery spinel would create such a different style? It looks passionate yet utterly individual. A rich Renaissance feel gives the whole piece a deeper vintage foundation. Keeping everything you love close at hand - that is the meaning of hard work.
Sharing a delicate little accessory. To suit the clasp we wanted to hook onto, we chose a very simple shape: three little leaves in tri-colour gold. The woven-engraved gold technique gives the accessory texture without stealing the show. The pendant can be worn with an 18K gold necklace, or with a small pearl clasp. It can even be clipped directly onto a pearl, giving a distinctly...
I think this jadeite twin-stone ring has brought together Eastern poetry and painting with Italian romance. The ice-type jadeite looks like a scoop of Jiangnan morning dew, so clear it seems to seep with poetry. The vivid green cabochon is like fresh spring shoots on a branch, alive enough to burst forth with green leaves 🍃 The Italian carved-gold craftsmanship on the side hides countless details. The beaded edge around the diamonds seems like vines gently winding around the two pieces of jadeite...
This opal ring is a collaboration between the earth and time. Like a rainbow captured by the ages, the opal interweaves deep blue and vivid green, distilling the dreamlike beauty of the Great Barrier Reef at the fingertips. A platinum shank, spare and sinuous like a serpent’s spine, supports its flowing colour while preserving the stone’s natural beauty as fully as possible.
In the heat of summer, the best thing is to strip away heavy layers. Tiger’s eye with full old-money allure, paired with a textured plain-gold setting, suits every style. A simple ootd carries an effortless ease. Relaxed and comfortable dressing helps you focus on yourself. Paired with jadeite or jade bead strands, it becomes a new Chinese-style trend; layered with gold and diamond rings, it is unmistakably old-money style. It can even be paired with some...
Icy jadeite carved into a peace pendant shape carries the gentle auspice of Eastern jade culture. A simple butter-gold 18K gold diamond ear clip does not overpower the piece. The butter-gold choice adds a little more attitude towards life. Where classical and modern meet, it becomes a fashionable interpretation of the traditional peace motif. It sways softly at the ear, holding the Eastern wisdom settled by time.
In days when gold prices are soaring, we chose the ancient gold-and-silver layering technique. Its earliest origins can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. More than 2,000 years later, silver and 18K gold are combined today. Breaking through material boundaries, it is as though moonlight and sunlight have been fused into one. Italian woven engraving brings texture to the silver body, and the chased patterns are etched by time. There is...
The centre stone of this ring is a piece of jade, while the ring shank exudes a rich Egyptian style. The collision of the cultures of two ancient civilisations produces an unexpected harmony. Since Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign, Egypt’s ancient art reappeared in Europe through war and transport. Especially after the opening of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922...
Still the old performer, tricolour gold. Who would have thought tricolour gold with pink diamonds could create such a fascinating chemistry? It looks carefree and relaxed. I hope the little finger ring will no longer be defined as a symbol of “non-marriage”. I hope we are not bound by convention. Keeping everything you like close at hand is the meaning of hard work.
9K gold can also feel luxurious. Material is neither noble nor humble; craftsmanship reveals the difference at a glance.
If Bulgari’s little trumpet is what first made the house known, then this bracelet with parentheses truly propelled Bulgari to fame. Its inspiration comes from the stone blocks of Ancient Rome; 61 metal sections are carefully polished and then fitted together tightly. Such an interlocking structure leaves no room for error during production and assembly. Any...
At last, we can share high-definition video. Compression usually leaves every clip hopelessly blurred, so we are curious to see whether this one remains sharp. This Madama pearl carries a subtle violet overtone; paired with the aquamarine on the right and pure platinum, it gives the ring an exceptionally clean, crystalline quality. The platinum’s mirror-polished finish adds further refinement.
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...
“Natural wild pearls and brilliant diamonds woven together represent the most moving royal aesthetic of the last century.” Thanks to technological progress, cultured pearls and laboratory-grown diamonds allow ordinary people to enjoy such "royal privileges" as well. When choosing the colour of this pair of creamy-gold pearls, we opted for 18k white gold with no plating. Yes, this is 18...
This is a ring the client wanted 'bezel-set' yet still rich in detail. For a pear shape over 3 carats, if you want simplicity with detail, the answer can only lie in the ring shank. The Baroque-style engraved gold shank is paired with milgrain edging, while the centre stone is simply held in white gold. It satisfies both the bezel-set brief and the desire for detail.
My first attempt at recreating the classic five-stone ring. In the Victorian era, five-stone rings were undeniably the darling of the age. They are also the antique jewellery design with the largest surviving number in circulation. This time we used lab-grown diamonds cut in old mine and old European styles for the setting. Different cuts help make up for the regrettable over-regularity of modern craftsmen copying antiques. The platinum setting is more...
This is a very simple yet classic twist ring. In jewellery design, the twist motif is a timeless element, appearing in everything from gold jewellery to high jewellery. In the West, this rope-like form was inspired by the Age of Discovery and the hemp ropes used on ships. In China, such knot motifs were already highly developed by the Song dynasty. This...
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the gypsy ring craze swept across the European continent. The design of this type of ring was considered to have been influenced by the craft techniques and aesthetic trends of the time. In that era, craftsmen and designers across Europe drew inspiration from different cultures. The passionate, free-spirited Gypsy culture deeply moved the rigid...
In 1895 Cartier sold the world's first platinum ring. A century later, platinum remains the leading choice for wedding bands and diamond rings. A simple four-claw setting holds the centre stone, while tiger-claw-set diamonds run along the shank. 130 years on, we still choose platinum, and still use the same design. The neatly symmetrical claws and equally sized U-shaped settings express the same...
In the 1990s, tri-colour gold craftsmanship was all the rage among major houses - Chopard, Cartier, VCA, Bulgari... all had iconic designs. This forged tri-colour gold technique first appeared in Italy. Italians’ mastery of gold forging can be traced back 3,000 years. The Etruscans living in Italy 3,000 years ago already possessed exceptional...
If you feel you do not yet have a ring stack, and you do not want anything too dazzling, then round bubble diamonds are the perfect choice. Each little bubble carries a full dose of healing energy, helping you stay playful and adorable. They are a wonderful item for clearing away office gloom. Also: special thanks to the cooperation of Fat Orange 🍊; bubble-diamond studs are in stock and ready to ship [thumbs-upR][thumbs-upR]
The plum vase is most appealing for its slender 'figure' and delicate mouth, like a classical beauty in a qipao. Its shoulders are broad, its waist is fine, and the whole silhouette is smooth and elegant, as though it were a poised woman radiating dignity and restraint. In the choice of metal colour, we did not use the traditional 18K gold or rose gold...
This second-creation design is not to everyone’s taste. The inspiration comes from Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1960s. The ring gathers 18K gold into a 'rope'; golden cords thread through large diamonds, paired with peacock-green pearls to create a sense of ease and relaxation. Note: although it is a re-creation, we also applied for a design patent [doge]
This second-creation design is not to everyone’s taste. The inspiration comes from Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1960s. The ring gathers 18K gold into a 'rope'; golden cords thread through large diamonds, paired with golden South Sea pearls. Compared with tomorrow’s peacock-green version and its relaxed feel, the golden pearls bring a touch more luxury and unrestrained spirit. Note: although it is a re-creation, we also applied for a design...
Long ago, the world had skilled and careful hands that created rings as smooth as lace, decorated with carving and precious gemstones. And all of that has been passed down to this day. Buccellati’s Éternelle ring series has become the most beloved design with its minimalist form and light elegance, destined to become a legend. This ÉTOILÉE ETE...
Lagom is a philosophy from Sweden. It emphasises a lifestyle of moderation, balance and simplicity. It comes from a love of life, blending gentleness with fullness. It does not chase too much or too little, but through balance and restraint, one enjoys enough happiness and contentment. Four pearls are arranged on a platinum chain richly set with diamonds in 18K...
A pair of earrings that took more than 240 days to make. The client handed us these platinum-grey pearls with a metallic lustre and said she wanted them made into flowers. The first thing that came to mind was 'steampunk'. With bronze-coloured edging and stamens, while the petals use a touch of matte metallic finish, diamonds, pearls and metal - three extremely distinct textures - collide to create this sense of decay...
If one series must represent feminine allure, then Macri is surely it. The lustre of satin, the texture of metal, and the constant atmosphere of elegance and mature femininity are everywhere. The 'rigato' effect achieved through hand-engraved parallel lines reaches a technical summit, paired with diamonds set within tiny star-shaped flowers. The opacity...
A plain-gold Royal Blue ring, a free and effortless choice
At first glance, this 2020 hand-drawn sketch felt like an architectural ring: crisp lines and a fluid flow gave the impression of deconstructivism fused with high-tech style. Only when the finished piece was placed before me did I suddenly understand - this was Art Deco, a dialogue across a hundred years. A hundred years ago, the women of the modern age cast off their shackles...
If you feel a tennis bracelet is not special enough, try this fully diamond Cuban chain instead. Thanks to the special weaving technique of the Cuban link, the whole piece is soft and supple, like a flexible armour. The full diamond setting softens the metal’s sharpness, and with a simple styling it expresses an effortlessly chic attitude.
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...
The perfect interpretation of slow work and fine results, crafted with devotion from wax model to silver model to finished piece.
A vintage duet of old-cut diamonds and ruby, with the emotional value instantly maxed out! A Burmese ruby at the heart, old-cut diamonds arching around it, the gold palette and the vivid blood-red fluorescence creating a striking visual impact. It has a strong jewellery presence! An aesthetic that never goes out of style, as if it were the key to unlocking fashion’s cycle. To own it is to move through time with ease.
A comparison between the old and new versions of the Macri bracelet. The classic version is bold and structured, while the new Macri is rounded and elegant. The satin finish and unique diamond-setting method give it a strong vintage charm, making one feel they are not simply buying an accessory, but rather showing respect for the heritage of craftsmanship.
A highly cost-effective German-crafted soft-gold ring. Silk-like texture, exceptional comfort, and a price in the low thousands make it unquestionably the best alternative to Buccellati.
Sailor Moon’s brooch, Sakura’s wand - sparkling gemstones always seem to hold miraculous magic. As children, we imagined having them and transforming into warrior girls who save the world. Gemstones are girls’ armour and the blade that faces down strong enemies. Though grown-up us no longer imagine so easily, we still keep a clear, youthful heart, and put on one...
This is a 2 ct FP-colour lab-grown pink diamond, and the client considered many styles before setting it. In the end, she chose HW’s classic design.
