This Thursday, the 1st October, kicks off the Chinese Golden Week holiday; a week long period which is one of the prime times for Chinese tourists to take time off, travel the world and treat themselves. To celebrate, we’ve chosen just a few select items from our range which are perfect for the occasion.
Chopard Happy 8
In Chinese, the word for eight sounds similar to the word meaning “prosper” or “wealth”; this has led to the number being regarded as an auspicious one. In fact, it’s so well-regarded that a telephone number of all eights was sold for 2.33million yen in 2003!
The Chopard Happy 8 Collection explores this universally lucky figure with fluid designs, complemented by the playful twinkle of their signature floating diamonds.
The warm colours of the Chopard Happy 8 Rose Gold Pendant make it perfect for this time of year, the perfect reflection of the golden autumn sunshine. Retailing at £3,520, this piece is also available on finance with 36 monthly payments of £78.22 and a 20% deposit.
Al Coro Amici
Just like the number eight, the colour red is also associated very strongly with good fortune in Chinese culture. Red envelopes containing money are a traditional gift at holiday times, and red is widely used in holiday decorations.
The Al Coro Amici Rose Gold Ruby Ring is a lovely choice, boasting a bright oval cut ruby of over a carat in weight surrounded by glittering black sapphires, all set in a warm 18ct rose gold band. This can be yours for £1,357 or 36 monthly payments of £30.16 and a 20% deposit.
For a complete look, the matching earrings are available at £1,747, or 36 monthly payments of £38.82 and a 20% deposit; again, the oval faceted central ruby is surrounded by black sapphires in a full rub-over setting, with post and butterfly fittings.
Endless Jewellery Charms
Continuing the red theme, the Endless Jewellery collection offers plenty of opportunities to create a completely unique red and gold piece with their unique take on the charm bracelet. Their simple Endless Red Single Gold Plated Leather Bracelet is the perfect base at just £45; to complement it, we’ve picked out the Endless Gold Garnet Heart Of Love Charm at £95, the Endless Gold Ruby Love Drop Charm at £75, and the Endless Gold Big Garnet Cube Charm at £45.
