PRECIOUS MATTERS

Established in 1929, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery celebrates its 95th anniversary this year, sailing through the changing tides of time with resilience and renown. After nearly a century's evolution, the brand is a widely recognised, reputable and cherished household name that embodies Hong Kong's jewellery legacy.

As Vice-chairman, what do you credit for Chow Tai Fook's enduring success?

Chow Tai Fook's success hinges on customer trust. For 95 years, families have adorned themselves with our jewellery, making it a symbol of connection and tradition. This legacy goes hand-in-hand with exceptional craftsmanship and expertise that is fundamental to our success, courtesy of the Chow Tai Fook Master Studio with over 400 artisans at the forefront of innovative concepts. We were the first to introduce the "Fixed Price" policy for gold jewellery in Hong Kong and Macau. Ultimately, as a leading jewellery brand, we strive to be a trusted lifetime partner for every generation.

How is the brand leveraging its 95th-anniversary milestone for the present and future?
