Brand Story
Baodaxiang, a time-honored jewelry brand in Shanghai, traces its origins to a jewelry workshop in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. During that period, Shanghai's opening as a commercial port spurred the jewelry trade. The founder, whose name is yet to be verified, opened a shop near the City God Temple, naming it 'Baodaxiang' to signify 'treasures abundant, great fortune, and auspicious peace.' Specializing in gold and silver ornaments and jade, the brand quickly gained a reputation for selecting premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship. During the Republican era, Baodaxiang crafted custom pieces for Shanghai's elite, blending traditional motifs with Art Deco influences, becoming a hallmark of Shanghai-style jewelry. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the brand underwent public-private partnership and continued its craft. Today, as a China Time-honored Brand, Baodaxiang carries the memories of generations and stands as a symbol of Shanghai's jewelry culture, reflecting the evolution of modern Chinese commerce and the fusion of Shanghai-style culture.
“Baodaxiang, may fortune and auspiciousness be with you.”
