GOLD PRODUCTION

Wang Hing & Company began life producing jade objects;
silver was to be its mainstay but it was certainly not the way
the company started out. The Lo family were respected jade
importers.

Wang Hing also created gold jewellery items and, as with its
silver, was consistent with the purity of gold it used. 20
carats was the standard Wang Hing maintained and the
makers’ marks clearly attest to that standard. Almost all of
the jewellery created by Wang Hing was made during the
20th century and probably can be attributed to the opening
of the Hong Kong emporium on Queen’s Road.

This jade and gold brooch is typical of the quality and style
Wang Hing adopted. Ivory, ebony and even rattan are
materials that were used in jewellery combinations with
gold.
