As the new year begins, jewellery brands are unveiling fresh designs that add extra meaning to upcoming celebrations such as Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day.

Chinese New Year, which is a time of cultural significance, calls for jewellery pieces that reflect auspicious symbolism. Designs inspired by traditional Chinese motifs such as golden ingots, phoenixes or zodiac animals are authentic festive ensemble.

China-based TTF Haute Joaillerie has launched the Soaring Dragon brooch in 24-karat gold for the Year of the Dragon. It also features a fish motif. According to the company, both dragon and fish symbolise perpetual vitality and strength in Chinese culture.

Hong Kong jeweller King Fook Jewellery is likewise introducing the 999.9 Gold Dragon Baby Collection, which includes dragon-inspired pendant, bracelet and bangle that are available for infants and adults.

“Gold accessories, as tokens for expressing blessings, are considered ideal gifting choices for new-born babies,” King Fook Jewellery said, noting the collection highlights the indispensable bond between mothers and their children as they can wear matching jewellery pieces.

As the lunar festivities conclude, Valentine's Day takes centre stage to celebrate love around the world. The Love is Beauty Collection by Hong Kong jeweller Lukfook Jewellery features classic choices like heart-shaped pendants and earrings with diamonds.

The company described the collection as “a dazzling interpretation of love and beauty,” with the diamond symbolising romance and true love. Lukfook used the “Shiny Diamond Setting” technique to further enhance the brilliance of the diamonds while heart motifs convey genuine affection.

Themed jewellery collections not only capture the essence of special occasions but also resonate with buyers’ growing affinity for meaningful jewellery. Whether it is a gift for loved ones or a personal indulgence, these jewellery pieces serve as tangible reminders of cherished moments and deep emotions.
