The prosperity story behind iconic jewellery
Unlimited Above De Beers Forces of Nature Brooch In his typically irreverent style, Jeff Goldblum once again proved that flair transcends convention. On the lapel of his sequinned jacket, four jewellery brooches from De Beers' Forces of Nature collection glimmered: Magnetism—a constellation of 15.40 carats of white diamonds; Spirituality—resplendent with 20.94 carats; a delicate Butterfly; and the ethereal Enchanted Lotus. Together, they formed a constellation of creativity.

Renaissance Heritage Above Buccellati Idyllium Floralis Bracelets and Rings Buccellati continues to honour age-old goldsmithing with time-honoured methods like hand engraving, each design a subtle nod to the Renaissance. The Idyllium Floralis Eternelle ring exemplifies this devotion with white and yellow gold entwined with lilac enamel bands, adorned with miniature floral garlands. A total of 158 brilliant-cut diamonds catch the light, with a matching bracelet completing the set.

Eternal Moment Above Harry Winston Ruby Ring—no ordinary jewel When Tatler encountered this rare creation from the Harry Winston archives—an oval ruby ring—it was clear this was no ordinary jewel. Set in platinum and flanked by two luminous white diamonds, the ruby's allure lies in its rarity. With stones over three carats becoming ever scarcer, this piece feels destined to become iconic. Back to the starting point Above Dickson Yewn Floral Lattice Gecko and Lily Pad Square ring Dickson Yewn is renowned for designs that transcend convention, and this intricate ring, part of his Floral Lattice collection, is no exception. Inspired by scenes from an ancient Chinese courtyard once beloved by royal literati, the piece is rendered in 18k yellow gold and finished with brilliant-cut diamonds. A quiet homage to history, viewed through a modern lens. Rich mandarin ducks Above Swarovski Swan pendant features iconic motif of two swans To mark its 130th anniversary, Swarovski reimagines its iconic motif of two swans nestled in a heart-shaped embrace. Among the variations, one stands out: a duet of gold-tone and rhodium-plated swans, glittering with pavé Swarovski Zirconia. Suspended from a graceful chain, the design underscores the brand's enduring expertise in crystal artistry. Open the sparkling way Above John Hardy JH Essential Pavé Necklace Though delicate in form, a necklace can make the most memorable impression. Take this pavé number from John Hardy's JH Essential collection. Its 14-karat gold design is adjustable, with a diamond-set chain that adds texture and depth. Elegant yet adaptable, it lends itself to both daywear and occasion dressing. Lucky yellow snake Above The Mikimoto Snake Brooch is enjoying a renaissance The brooch is enjoying a renaissance—and Mikimoto's Year of the Snake design captures its charm in full. Available in 18k yellow gold or sterling silver, each version is distinct. The gold piece features a playful snake coiled around a platinum branch, accented with garnets. The silver counterpart, meanwhile, is paired with a deep spinel. Both designs are crowned with Akoya cultured pearls—long associated with luck and prosperity. Personal mark Above Hermès Clou de Forge earrings in rose gold and diamonds From the Clou de Forge collection by Hermès, these earrings fuse sculptural elegance with a sense of mischief. Crafted in 18-karat rose gold and set with radiant diamonds, the earcuff silhouette makes its debut in the Objects Spring–Summer 2025 collection, bringing a subtle yet striking flourish to the modern wardrobe.

The offering drew orders for multiple times the number of bonds available, one of the sources said. Representatives for Chow Tai Fook did not immediately respond to requests for comment made outside normal business hours. Chow Tai Fook, which recently reported better-than-expected earnings, has been campaigning to lift its image, positioning itself closer to premium labels such as Tiffany and Cartier instead of a traditional gold retailer. The offering comes as New World Development, which is controlled by the same family controls Chow Tai Fook, grapples with more than HK$200 billion of liabilities as Hong Kong's most indebted major developer.

Singapore's Grab Holdings last week raised US$1.5 billion in a convertible-bond deal that brought in more cash than initially expected. Ping An Insurance (Group) of China earlier this month sold HK$11.8 billion in such bonds. Like Chow Tai Fook, Ping An Insurance also denominated its convertibles in Hong Kong dollars. The currency has slumped in recent weeks towards the weak end of its official trading band against the greenback, after local interest rates fell to a three-year low and widened the discount to their US peers to rarely seen levels.
