Whether you’re wanting to buy a special Christmas or birthday present, or some bespoke bling for yourself, here’s a range of jewellery stores in Hong Kong and online options to choose from. They offer fabulous collections from gold earrings to colourful necklace designs, so you’re sure to find the perfect piece.
Silk bangles, earrings & necklace designs
Blending style and versatility, and an East-meets-West aesthetic with the thrill of customisation, Forbidden Hill’s signature Silk jewellery collections – including Silk Bangles, Cuffs, Earrings and Pendant necklace designs – can be styled with a choice of over 40 mesmerising silk colours that can be switched any time. Its Gemstone Earrings are also customisable, taking on the hue of interchangeable gemstones, such as rubies, emeralds or amethysts. You can effortlessly style anything from this jewellery store to match your outfit, or even just your mood.
Based in Singapore, the brand’s collections are inspired by past and present Southeast Asia. Collections such as the Lotus, the Hue and the Pavilion are evocative of the region’s beauty, with a contemporary touch – the Lotus captures the graceful form of the namesake flower, while the Hue and Pavilion hint at the lattice work found in the Purple Forbidden City in Hue, Vietnam. Other popular collections are inspired by the cultural heritage of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. And launching in December is the BKK collection, reflecting the energy of Bangkok. The collections are all designed in Singapore and made by carefully selected production partners in SE Asia.
In addition to interchangeable silks and gemstones, the brand also makes jewellery with vibrantly coloured resin insets, offering more gorgeous pops of colour to finish your look.
With so many ways to style them, Forbidden Hill’s pieces make perfect gifts – you can thoughtfully customise the jewellery with the favourite colours of a friend, a loved one – or yourself! All pieces come beautifully packaged in the brand’s cloth pouch and elegant green box. Forbidden Hill also ships for free to Hong Kong with a minimum spend of US$80 (approximately HK$620).

A jewellery store for colourful gems
Raji has lived in Hong Kong for 19 years and used to work as a lingerie designer before launching her jewellery brand Kama by Raji. Part of her inspiration was a desire to celebrate her heritage by bringing a small piece of Sri Lanka to the international market; she was also driven by a sheer passion for creating wearable art.
The Kama by Raji range includes exquisite semiprecious and precious gemstone jewellery made with only the best quality gemstones sourced in Sri Lanka. Not only is it a country with an abundance of natural gemstones, but it’s also home to expertly trained craftsmen from families who’ve been making jewellery by hand for generations. Just look at the gold earrings below.
Raji notes that clients are showing a lot more interest in coloured gemstones than they were a few years ago. There’s a move to embrace the stunning hues not just of emeralds and sapphires, but of aquamarines, tourmalines, citrines and other stones. Examples of pieces in the Kama by Raji range that reflect this emphasis on colour are the statement solitaire aquamarine ring and Raji’s 3D lotus petal drop earrings in green amethyst.

Where diamonds take centre stage
Established in 2012, Zaha et Cetera focuses on jewellery featuring handcrafted diamonds and coloured stones, and using 18K white or yellow gold, or platinum.
