Jewellery Artist Cindy Chao Brings Masterpiece London to Hong Kong
Coravin, the wine lover's dream device that lets you pour wine without uncorking, is back with brand new models.
As fans of the smart wine preservation system, we have observed Coravin for some time and seen the brand expand with new technology every year. Now, they have extended their product lineup with the launch of new systems -- Models Three and Six. What's more, all new and existing models have been equipped with SmartClamps™, which, prior to the launch, was only available on Model Eleven. The new easy-on and easy-off clamps are designed to go over the neck of the bottle and push down firmly on the handle in one fluid motion, making the system even easier to use.
Coravin's wine access technology is all down to the hollow needle that is inserted through the cork, before the system pressurises the bottle with Argon (an inert, colourless and odourless) gas, to pour the wine out. Once poured, and the Coravin is taken off the bottle, the cork reseals naturally -- allowing wine to stay fresh for months on end, and years if needed.
The new systems also comes with a Coravin Screw Cap which allows users to enjoy new world wine (with screw caps) the same way as old world wine (cork) bottles, preserving them for up to three months.
So, with four Coravin Models in total, Model Three, Five, Six and Eleven, which model is the right one for you? Well, let's find out shall we.

Go Bold with These 5 Statement Jewellery Pieces This Summer
Hong Kong’s notoriously sweltering summer is most definitely here, and so are the fun fashion ensembles you cannot wait to put on, but are not quite complete without the proper accessories.
From oversized statement pieces, shoulder-grazing earrings to stackable bracelets and bangles, we’ve put together some bold jewellery pieces that will complement this season’s outfits.
Panthère de Cartier
Cartier’s Panthère, with its wild and feline design, has always been a revered collection which continues to stand the test of time. It’s seen many iterations through the decades but right now, we’re loving this architectural and modern take. This Panthère de Cartier ring is made in 18K yellow gold, set with onyx and tsavorite garnets.
HK$151,000 | www.cartier.hk
Chopard Happy Spirit
Chopard’s new Happy Spirit collection is every bit the fun and chic accessory to wear this season, with its “dancing” diamonds and clean lines. These bangles, crafted in 18K white ethical gold, make a great addition to your arm candy.
HK$63,000 | www.chopard.com
Dior Joaillerie Rose des Vents
If run-of-the-mill amulets just won’t cut it, go big and aim for Dior Joaillerie‘s Rose des Vents. Wind rose motifs that decorate Christian Dior’s childhood home are featured on small medallion-like amulets made in a variety of precious hard stones such as mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli, malachite, onyx, turquoise, tiger’s eye, cornelian and pink opal, are punctuated with diamonds.
HK$430,000 | www.dior.com
Tiffany & Co's Tiffany T
In the latest evolution of the Tiffany T motif, Tiffany & Co -- while hoping to give the classic model a fresh take -- stays true to its identity and legacy. Tiffany T1 combines the clean lines and graphic forms that make the "T" distinct, with a bold, diamond-encrusted style with a bevelled edge, an angular surface and a multi-faceted finish. Make an impact this summer by wearing this bold piece of jewellery.
HK$ 145,000 | www.tiffany.com
Chanel Camelia hoops
Inspired by Coco Chanel’s favourite flower, the camellia, Chanel’s Camélia collection manages to strike that perfect balance between femininity and edginess, thanks to its geometric curves and perfect symmetry. These Extrait de Camélia hoop earrings are made in 18K pink gold and set with diamonds, and could very well be the jewellery piece to take you from day to night.

Phillips Asia Presents its First Ever Cross-Category Online Auction
To adapt to the fast-changing landscape of our day and age, covid-19 being part of this, auction houses have had to swiftly change their strategies to keep up with how to best connect with their clientele. From changes in the nature and scope of artworks offered, to shifts in timing of their sales, every auction house has responded differently.
Of all the heavyweight auction houses, Phillips is the first to present an online auction which includes all categories that are traditionally separated into individual sales. Titled Refresh:Reload, the mix of collecting categories is enticing at the very first glance. Curated in two complementary parts, Refresh embodies a more lighthearted and romantic aesthetic, bringing together colourful and fun contemporary artworks such as works by Katherine Bernhardt and Genieve Figgis along with elegant jewellery and timepieces by jewelers such as Graff. The second part, Reload, will unveil cutting-edge jewellery and watches presented alongside fresh, trend-setting art, editions and collectibles, with the standout piece being a KAWS x Ikepod Horizon Watch. Phillips’ response has been almost exclusively digital – “our global Spring calendar this year is made up entirely of online-only sales and we have seen strong participation already.” According to Delissa Handoko, Head of Online Sales at Phillips Hong Kong, they “have seen a great deal of cross-category collecting as collectors’ tastes continue to evolve globally.” Perhaps this sale, then, will be the answer to collectors' concerns as auction houses and art galleries turn to online solutions.
[gallery ids="207267,207268,207269,207270,207271,207272,207273"]
Refresh:Reload includes 180 lots and selected highlights will be exhibited in Phillips’ Hong Kong Gallery (by appointment only) and bidding is currently ongoing and will close on May 28that 6pm HKT. The entire collection is available to browse on their website.
