2. Hearts on Fire in Hong Kong
Modern diamond jewellery brand Hearts On Fire, which was established in 1996 in the US but acquired by Hong Kong’s Chow Tai Fook in 2014, has launched its first retail store in the city.
Opening in Hong Kong’s Central district, the space has been created in collaboration with interior designer Joyce Wang of Joyce Wang Studio and includes a glamorous VIP section.
We are loving these barre multi-row climber earrings set with levitating diamonds along sleek gold bars.
To celebrate the brand’s arrival in the city, a 12-piece capsule from the spring 2025 signature collection will launch exclusively at the store. Appointments to view it can be made through the brand’s newly launched website.
