The largest jewellery retailer in China, Chow Tai Fook, has recorded a 26 per cent rise in sales for the fiscal quarter ending 30 September.
Chow Tai Fook is the second-largest jewellery retailer by market value in the world and operates more than 5,900 stores.
Year-on-year retail sales improved by 28 per cent in mainland China, accounting for 91 per cent of total sales. In Hong Kong, sales rose 11 per cent.
“Both mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau demonstrated a notable sequential improvement from the previous quarter,” Chow Tai Fook’s statement reads.
“Hong Kong witnessed encouraging same-store sales growth thanks to stable local consumer demand.”
Sales declined 3.7 per cent for Chow Tai Fook in the previous quarter, which was attributed to the resurgence of COVID in the region.

Hong Kong jewellery retailer Luk Fook has likewise reported a boost in sales, driven mostly by gold products.
Same-store sales increased by 40 per cent for the fiscal quarter ending 30 September.
Attributed to an international drop in price, Luk Fook’s sales of gold jewellery increased by 62 per cent year-on-year.
