Founded in 2006, LIU GUI FU JEWELRY is committed to the brand mission of “inheriting the millennia-old Liugui spirit and creating Eastern jewellery,” aiming to convey the power of Eastern aesthetics through its jewellery. The brand introduced the innovative “Dan Gui Guo Se” model, blending modern jewellery design with the essence of century-old royal craftsmanship. This fusion results in a range of national-treasured jewellery pieces that embody the spirit of the Chinese Osmanthus culture. Employing innovative jewellery designs that are both rich in classical elegance and aligned with contemporary tastes, the brand captures the luxurious and elegant charm of natural diamonds.
As retail strategic partners of the NDC, both Darry Ring and LIU GUI FU JEWELRY will fully support promotion and education campaigns around natural diamonds launched by the NDC in China. Their collaborative efforts include the development and promotion of advertising assets, digital assets, social media content and search engine marketing to reveal the core values and emotional significance of natural diamonds underlined by their preciousness, rarity and uniqueness. Meanwhile, they are working in tandem to form valuable new resources collating professional knowledge around natural diamonds to create new industry narratives and educational materials. This joint endeavor is aimed at elevating the sales conversion rate of natural diamonds, fostering greater transparency and promoting sustainable development. Together they aspire to bring a profound and positive impact to the natural diamond jewellery industry.
“Since its inception, the NDC has maintained close collaborations with retail jewellery brand partners to promote the intrinsic values of natural diamonds. We firmly believe that by joining forces with outstanding partners like Darry Ring and LIU GUI FU JEWELRY, we can enhance consumer understanding and emotional connection with natural diamonds. This not only ignites more consumers’ desire for natural diamonds, but also makes significant contributions to the overall development of the natural diamond jewellery industry. Furthermore, it serves to amplify the global prominence of natural diamonds,” noted Mabel Wong McCormick, Managing Director of the Natural Diamond Council for Greater China.
