Red is a deeply symbolic color in Chinese culture, representing luck, happiness, and prosperity—values that also align with the ruby gemstone’s significance in the Chinese New Year celebrations. As the festive season approaches, high-end jewelry brands like Tiffany & Co., Chanel, and Fred Jewelry are unveiling collections that beautifully incorporate rubies to honor these traditions.
Tiffany & Co. has introduced a contemporary edition of their iconic Tiffany Lock pendant, which is adorned with ruby gemstones that capture the spirit of the Chinese New Year. The collection also features new snake-inspired designs in their Elsa Peretti range, symbolizing grace and wisdom.
Chanel’s latest Coco Crush collection pays tribute to Chinese culture with ruby-adorned pieces in refined shades of red and beige gold. Each item is crafted with softened quilted lines, and the C-shaped pendant and O-shaped bracelet form a charming “C.O.C.O.” when worn together, blending elegance with cultural symbolism.
Fred Jewelry’s Chance Infinie collection brings the infinity symbol to the forefront, combining timelessness and luxury with ruby-encrusted designs. To mark the occasion, the brand also features their ambassador, Guan Xiao Tong, adding a touch of glamour to this sophisticated collection.
