Brand Story
Jinsheng, originating from Hunan, derives its name from the auspicious phrase 'gold and jade shine together,' reflecting the profound cultural heritage of the Huxiang region. Although the exact founding year has not been officially verified, local chronicles and industry reputation trace its history back to the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty (around the 1800s). At that time, Changsha, Hunan, was a thriving commercial hub where gold and silver craftsmanship flourished. The founder, skilled in the craft, established the business specializing in gold and silver jewelry, particularly renowned for filigree inlay and chasing techniques. Adhering to the motto 'integrity first, ingenuity in every piece,' the creations incorporated Xiang-Chu patterns and folk auspicious motifs, earning the favor of both gentry and commoners. Through generations, Jinsheng witnessed the transformations of modern Chinese industry and commerce, maintaining quality through wars and reforms, and becoming a representative of Hunan's jewelry industry.

Today, Jinsheng remains committed to the revival and innovation of traditional techniques, ensuring the time-honored brand shines brightly in the new era.
