TASAKI
We can’t get enough of delicate Japanese designs, so here’s another place to have on your radar. TASAKI is Japan’s premier jeweller, and lucky for us, they have boutiques right here in Hong Kong.

Marry that with a beautifully cut diamond and you have the perfect engagement ring! TASAKI is also a sightholder of The De Beers Group of Companies, which basically means it is on a pretty exclusive list of companies who are allowed to purchase rough diamonds in bulk. Impressive!
