The subject is a manufacturer and wholesaler of the following products: marquise, pears, tappers, buggets and rose cut, round brilliant, single cut and fancy cut, etc.  It also provides customers with a wide selection of diamonds and assortment in various sizes.  Raw materials and products are imported from the United States, Europe and India.  The subject has had a production base for diamonds in India.  Finished products are exported to Taiwan, the United States, Germany, other European countries, etc.  Besides diamond and jewellery, the subject also trades in gentlemen’s diamond watches, ladies’ diamond watch sets and watches.  Its diamond watches bear their own brand name owned by the subject.

Besides, the subject actively markets its products to major jewellery and watch manufacturers from all over the world through major trade shows in Hong Kong with its dynamic sales team.  Fairs and exhibitions participated in Hong Kong are such as Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, Hong Kong Jewellery & Watch Fair and Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair, etc.  The first is held in March, while the second and third are held in September every year.
