Diamond and coloured gemstone jewellery accounts for the remainder. Pearl bracelets have enjoyed renewed demand in recent months. Bracelets with one, two or three rows of pearls are popular. Wong says Profit Gem plans to introduce South Sea pearls to its lines this year. Minimum order is 500 pieces for a variety of items, or 100 pieces per style.
Delivery is one week after order confirmation.
Although pearl jewellery represents only a small portion of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Co Ltd's output, the company plans to increase production beyond its 4,000 pieces per month. The company is known for fine, elegant designs that appeal to Asian women. Most pieces are manufactured on the Chinese mainland. The latest fashion combines pearls with fancy yellow, green or pink sapphires or with semiprecious coloured stones. However, plain strands or a single South Sea or Japanese Akoya pearl on an 18K gold chain are always in demand.
