Brand Story
Zhancui, a jewelry brand from Guangdong, traces its origins to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China (1862-1949), a period when Guangdong, as a treaty port, thrived in the jewelry trade. The name 'Zhancui' means 'displaying the beauty of jade,' and the brand is believed to have been founded by local artisans skilled in jade carving and gold-smithing. During the Republic era, Zhancui catered to overseas Chinese, blending Lingnan techniques with Western styles. After 1949, the brand underwent public-private partnership, preserving its craft. Since the reform and opening-up in 1978, Zhancui has revived its traditions, focusing on jade and white jade pieces that symbolize auspiciousness, beloved in South China. Due to limited historical records, specific details await verification.
