Glittering jewels, a great addition to any outfit, often come with a hefty price tag and those who wish to buy jewellery may find themselves at a crossroads between price and quality.

Here is our pick of Hong Kong-based jewellery brands and stores selling durable pieces that will elevate your look without breaking the bank.

Green Lemon Atelier

Located close to PMQ, the arts and design centre in Hong Kong’s Central district, Green Lemon Atelier is surrounded by verdant scenery that reflects the multi-brand jewellery store’s core philosophy: sustainability and the human-nature relationship.

Originally from Paris, founder Chloe Keomany, 45, opened the concept store last September. With a team based in France, she directly purchases exclusive pieces from jewellery brands such as Parisian label Les Cleias.

From ear cuffs at its dedicated “ear bar” to intricate rings and beaded necklaces, all of its gold-plated items are in stainless steel, a hypoallergenic material suitable for everyday wear.
