This fine jewellery house was put on the map when actress and icon Maggie Cheung adorned her outfits with a Wulu necklace. The humble Chinese gourd has been the brand’s signature motif ever since. Founded by Dennis Chan after a spiritual trip to Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves in 1997, the brand is synonymous with playful fusions of Oriental symbolism and modernity, infusing Chinese heritage with new life and meaning. Emblems such as Qilin (an auspicious mythical animal), Yu Yi (Chinese for ‘dreams come true’) and panda Bo Bo (boasting a moveable head and limbs and changeable outfits) all come alluringly alive, thanks to a unique blend of exquisite craftsmanship and innovative technology. The homegrown brand is now part of the global luxury group Kering, with outposts all over the world.
