Wenli Jewelry is a Taiwanese brand which specializes in coral jewelry. The main materials used by th brand are Salmon Coral, jade and seashells.

The jewelries on display at the shop include earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and pendants. Their most popular products are necklaces, because they combine the beauty of Salmon Coral jewelry and “knot art” (the art of making knots such as “reef knot” or “love knot”). I noticed a very attractive necklace (reef knot with jade and pink coral), and a pendant composed of a true lover’s knot and Salmon Coral.

Another reason for the popularity of their necklaces lies in their artists’ sculpting skills, vividly demonstrated for instance in a flower-shaped seashell with a strand of Salmon Coral chips Customers could not take their eyes away from the glass counter in which this jewel was displayed.

Prices hover from RMB 1000 to RMB 5000. Considering the quality of the work, this is a no-brainer.

She Century is a Chinese brand which creates tourmaline jewelry. Tourmaline is a hard, variously colored crystalline mineral. In China it is said to dispel fear, negativity, and grief. According to folk lore, tourmaline crystals protect their wearer against dangers and misfortune.

She Century produces bracelets, necklaces, and earrings in many vivid colors (transparent, ink dark, red, blue, green, yellow, black, and brown).

The most popular items at She Century are bracelets. Girls buy purple tourmaline in the hope to attract Mr. Right. Polished tourmaline pendants are also very much in demand. A polished pink or green tourmaline set encased in sterling silver is bound to sparkle up any look.

Prices for earrings range from RMB 188 to RMB 388; bracelets, RMB 288-888; necklaces, RMB 588-5000; pendants, RMB 300-600.
