Japanese ultra-premium jewellery brand Tasaki has taken its first steps into China travel retail with Hainan Tourism Investment Duty Free Co., opening a new store at the Hainan Tourism Duty Free Shopping Complex in Sanya, Hainan.
Tasaki joins a stellar line-up of top luxury brands that have recently opened doors at the Sanya store.
These include 13De Marzo, Mark M, Boy London, Joyrich, Li-Ning, Sensai, Ahava, Gellé Frères, Axxzia, Cellcosmet & Cellmen and Erno Laszlo, which all made their exclusive Hainan duty free debut with HTDF.
Pearls and diamonds are the two main precious materials for Tasaki, which in 1970 became the first jewellery house in the world to farm the brown-lipped pearl oyster. Tasaki, which has pearl farms in Japan and Myanmar, revived the oyster from near-extinction.
The jewellery house is also a De Beers sightholder [a selected group of exceptional diamantaires to whom De Beers supplies rough diamonds]. Tasaki is known for its distinctive diamond cutting and polishing heritage and craftsmanship. The brand only uses ethically and sustainably-sourced diamonds from The De Beers Group of Companies, one of the world’s leading diamond houses.
It is also the only jewellery house to offer Sakuragold, a pink-tinted precious metal that mimics the colour of human skin. Launched in 2011, Sakuragold was inspired by the colour of cherry blossoms. It retains the texture of 18k gold, while offering a deeper hue than rose gold.
