About VooKwong

About Us

Would you sit down and listen to our story? One that began long ago—and continues with you.

In Chinese, VooKwong is a poetic name for the sun, meaning "to lift the light." We hope it will not only lift the brilliance of ancient Chinese jewellery lost in the tides of history, but also gently uplift you— tired, adrift, and weighed down by the tides of modern life—across time, into a renewal shared by both you and these treasures.

We know modern life is marked by restlessness and the unseen existential wounds, that’s why we want to share with you our traditional Chinese jewellery as a source of healing and a form of philosophical armour. Unlike modern jewellery that dazzles for attention, these pieces are not just about how to shine but also about why they exist at the very first place—they embody a way of life, a philosophy. They exist not merely as adornments but as a bridge between the inner self and the material world. Our collections pay tribute to an aesthetic shaped over millennia and the wisdom it carries— one that can accompany you in your journey to a harmony where inner peace and outer radiance become one.

Inspired by the essence of traditional Chinese jewellery, we present three collections:

• Nay Sheng (literally “Inner Sage”) – A jade collection that reflects the pursuit of inner serenity, wisdom and self-actualisation amidst the noise of the world.

• Wye Wong (literally “Outer King”) – A gold collection that celebrates a romantic pursuit of manifested mastery of the material world, as well as a passion for outer radiance.

• Gold & Jade Splendor – A fusion of jade’s quiet depth and gold’s luminous brilliance, presenting the ultimate balance between introspection and expression, tranquility and vitality—embracing effortless harmony, and the art of living with ease.

We are committed to presenting only the most authentic pieces—jewellery meticulously recreated from historical designs, each deeply rooted in Chinese heritage, and beautifully handmade (click to learn more about Chinese jewellery craftsmanship). Each piece carries a story from the vast river of history—whether it's the delicate earrings that once chimed at the ear of an empress or the lotus leaves immortalised in the verses of ancient poets (feel free to explore our Stories page and Product Details page to find out more), these treasures are reborn to grace your ears and neckline once more. By giving these beautiful designs a chance to step out of the museum and wearing jewellery that has witnessed the ebb and flow of an ancient civilisation, you become part of a timeless dialogue with those who, across centuries, have sought balance in life just like you.

And so, our story reaches its end by so far. But our jewellery does not just carry history; it carries you. As you give these pieces new life, may they also bring you renewal. Explore our collections, become part of our story—and more importantly, be the author of your own story.
