Family-run fine jewelry brand Dilys’ was established with the goal of creating adornments for modern Asian women that merge distinctive forward-looking style with tradition. To create the company’s bright, colorful and totally dazzling bracelets, rings, necklaces and other accessories, founder Dilys Young draws on Art Deco jewelry and a range of other modes and eras of design (Dilys’ transformable tiara necklace, for example, draws on Qing dynasty-era jewels). Young believes that professional women need to have choices in jewelry, with versatile options and pieces for all kinds of occasions.
Dilys’ began in 1991 as a maker of bespoke jewelry in Hong Kong. The company’s humble start allowed Young and her team of artisans to focus on the quality of design. Young traveled to trade shows in Taipei, Taiwan and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, establishing herself outside of the Hong Kong market and creating venturesome pieces — she designed various accessories that see both Art Deco influences and nods to Chinese culture in their geometrically rich arrangements of diamonds and integration of dragon motifs. Elsewhere, Young was using Paraiba tourmalines in Dilys’ cocktail rings and earrings long before the hypnotizing stone’s current surge of popularity.
By 2003, Young’s jewelry designs had reached a North American audience, and the founder took her collections to trade shows in Las Vegas and New York. Dilys' soon became known internationally. In 2008 and 2009, Dilys’ continued to reach new markets. The company launched its contemporary Novel and Lady collections and Dilys' acquired a new 4,000-square-foot facility in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, and operations expanded to meet the growing demand.
Shortly after celebrating 20 years in business, Young would open her Shanghai offices. Eventually, Young brought her daughter, Pearl Li, into the business. The University of the Arts London graduate helms marketing at the company and launched a sister brand, Young by Dilys’, to offer affordable accessories to today’s jewelry lovers. Another brand, D by Dilys', was founded by Li and Young in 2021 — it is focused on creating one-of-a-kind pieces with hand-picked gems for a younger clientele.

15.5mm White South Sea Pearl Diamond Ring in 18K White Gold
Located in Hong Kong, HK
This exquisite piece of jewelry is a statement of luxury and refinement. The ring features a prominent white South Sea pearl, measuring a substantial 15.5mm, which is a size that denotes a high-quality gem. South Sea pearls are among the most coveted in the world, celebrated for their impressive size, satiny luster, and thick nacre. The pearl's overtones seem to reflect a soft iridescence, revealing various subtle colors when light hits its surface. Complementing the pearl are two fancy-cut diamonds on either side, with a total weight of 0.84 carats, suggesting a generous size for each diamond. These diamonds are likely to have a high clarity and brightness, given their prominence in the setting. The term "fancy cut" refers to any diamond shape other than the traditional round cut, indicating that these diamonds may have a unique geometric shape that enhances the ring's visual appeal and showcases the stones' brilliance. Set in 18K white gold—a premium metal choice for fine jewelry—the setting provides a sturdy and luxurious foundation for the stones. White gold is appreciated for its high shine and modern appearance, which does not detract from the brilliance of the diamonds or the luster of the pearl but rather complements it. The gold used in this ring is 75% pure gold mixed with alloys to give it strength and a beautiful white color that pairs well with the clear, icy sparkle of diamonds and the soft glow of the pearl. The ring's design appears to be thoughtfully balanced, with the pearl as the centerpiece. It's a design that would likely stand the test of time, being both classic and contemporary. The way the light plays off the pearl's surface and the fire from the diamonds would be eye-catching. This piece could serve as a luxurious accessory for special occasions, potentially becoming a cherished heirloom due to the timeless design and the enduring quality of the materials used.
