I'm in the US, and I searched hard to find a jeweler in Hong Kong that could design a men's gold…read morering that matched one that had been purchased in HK several years ago but had been lost. The store where it had been purchased was not really helpful, as they were not providing pictures of what I was seeking. Plus there were communication difficulties as well. However, Ellis was terrific in every way!!! They took the few pictures I was able to provide and designed a ring that looked almost exactly like the one that had been lost. They provided a reasonable price estimate, and then, after the ring was finished, actually charged me less than the full estimate, as it weighed a little less than they had expected--i.e., they went above and beyond to be completely honest. They waited to ship, per my instructions, and then the ring was shipped promptly and arrived quickly, after some customs paperwork. The ring is gorgeous, exactly what was wanted! This company was helpful, talented, and honest--should be at the top of everyone's list!!! I wouldn't hesitate to buy there again, and I hope to get to the store sometime too as I'm sure it would be a great place to shop in person.

Hong Kong has a lot of jewellery stores. Like Jessie J, we love the bling bling over here. However,…read moreif you want to get away from the chain store monstrosities selling solid gold sculptures of winged horses riding waves, but don't want to go as contemporary cool as platinum "art" stones the size of tennis balls, you can get your jewellery custom made. And for that, I can recommend only one place - Ellis in Wan Chai. Ellis Jewellery, named after the owner Ellis - quite possibly the nicest man in HK, sells a great number of standard pieces, from engagement rings, chains and necklaces, charms, cufflinks, you get the idea! However, Ellis' real talent comes in custom crafting jewellery from your ideas. What I mean by this is, you can take Ellis a sketch for a piece of jewellery, and he will translate your cigarette packet doodle into a practical, long lasting pice of art. He will also do all of this for a very reasonable cost compared to the big boys. Where on Earth can one get a one off custom piece for less than the production models that come in 20,000 piece runs? Ellis, that's where! I find buying from Ellis very refreshing, especially his very honest and trustworthy approach. A lot of businesses will try to up-sell, but not Ellis. I wanted to buy an item in platinum, but was actually told to have the piece made in silver as the more malleable metal would have given the item a longer life. The silver was about one tenth of the cost of the platinum, and though he lost out on a huge payday, Ellis' advice was completely right. He is also completely upfront with timescales. If your design takes four days to make, it will take four days to make. Not two days then "so sorry, come back in two more days". This makes him a hit with the tourists who are passing through, as well as those of us who leave shopping for an anniversary just that little bit too late! So if you are thinking of getting down on one knee, or wanting to to get something for a loved one, I thoroughly recommend Ellis. Committing your design ideas to reality is hard enough, but with Ellis guiding you, you will not be disappointed. And nor will that special someone!

They have a huge assortment and the prices are somewhat reasonable. This is a good place to go if you're looking for 24kt gold and for jade. Real jade, it turns out, costs more than diamonds. They had some pendants that cost $5-$10 grand. You don't want to know what they wanted for the jade bracelets. It could be the downpayment for your house. Unlike the jewelry stores here, be sure to ask for a discount. I didn't know that I could do this, be luckily my cousin came with me. I'm poor, so I didn't spend that much money. The staff was very helpful and kept filling our tea cups. This company has exclusive rights to the Marvel designs. Yes, that's the whole reason why I came here. I picked up some Spider-Man pieces. They also had the Captain America shield and some other Marvel things.

I kind of stumbled into Uber Tunique today drawn by their little window display. Super cute jewelry...necklaces, rings, earrings, pins, etc. Not heavy stuff, but little and light and cute. Lots of product for such a tiny space. All items are reasonably priced. I bought a great little pair of smoky colored crystal earrings for $180HKD. I had a million ideas in my head on how this would be a great store to buy holiday gifts for girlfriends. Unique stuff and again, reasonably priced. They also had a small amount of clothes, candles and other various home stuff. The staff member was friendly, but let me browse without bothering me. She said this store had been open for about a year. Kudos for small business and I thought this little store was darling. I will return when I am in this area of town.

Nomadic…read moresells a range of southeast Asian-style gifts, decorations, furniture and trinkets - perfect for an out-of-the-box present for a female somebody (preferably somebody you know otherwise it might be a little bit weird). Nomadic represents the lifestyle of many a DBer; traveling, out of town, here for a year and then gone. It caters accurately to the demograph which explains its growth and consequent opening of a small section that sells plants. To be perfectly honest many of the items in the shop are of little interest to me. I walked in one day simply because I had forgotten it was Mother's day and I only had a couple hours to find something. I bought something within five minutes, a pair of silver earrings with a turquoise stone in the middle, and then continued to spend the next twenty minutes browsing. Why? I had seen a bow and arrow set in the corner thinking, that would be sooo cool in my room. Then I saw an iron-tipped spear and tried to imagine where in my apartment would that look best. After a back and forth struggle of reaching for a weapon then pulling my hand away I decided it was safest not to make the purchase. Safer for me and my neighbors. It's those sort of things that Nomadic offer, you might go in expecting to find an authentic Indonesian bracelet only to be waylaid by an ancient raincoat from the Philippines - which are also amazingly cool. It's definitely worth a look, especially if there are only a few hours left before a birthday lunch!

The store is beautiful and offers a wide array of different items, from clothing to arts and crafts and jewelry.
