Once in a Lifetime Encounter 一期一会
一期一会, which means “one time, one meeting" describes the concept of being present in all moments. We understand that all moments fleetingly pass by. The proverb stresses treating each moment as a unique experience, enjoying it fully before it disappears as such moments may never be replicated.

C stands for Carats which is the weight of the diamond. The higher the Carat weight, the heavier the stone is.
Never store diamonds and other jewellery together as diamonds are very hard and can scratch gold and other gemstones.
Use hot water and mild dish detergent to soak for 10 minutes before brushing with a soft toothbrush. Try to avoid ultrasonic cleaning (unless taken to jeweller who can check all your stones after) as the vibrations can loosen settings over time.
Regular cleaning can keep the diamonds looking shiny and free from oil, dirt trapped in the settings.
A Gemstones hardness is classified by the Moh’s Scale. Depending on the gemstone, some can be more sensitive to scratches. Diamond is the strongest followed by sapphire, ruby.
Avoid perfume, lotion, hairspray, sunscreen, sea water and harsh chemicals. As a result, it is very important to take your jewellery off when washing your hands, bathing, exercising and when going to the beach.
Use a clean, soft, damp cloth after wearing. Very porous stones such as turquoise and emeralds should be cleaned using a dry, soft cloth only. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean gemstones as they can cause scratches.
K stands for Karat which is the purity of the gold. The higher the karat, the more gold there is out of a total of 24 parts. The other parts are made with copper in order for it to be harder and more durable.
Never store diamonds and gold jewellery together as gold will get easily scratched. Store them in the pouches we provide to keep them looking shiny and new.
Use warm water and mild dish detergent to soak your gold jewellery regularly.

What's my birthstone?









Let customers speak for us
from 8 reviewsI love this piece so much as I received it as a gift when I got married.
Every time I wear it, I’m reminded of the happy times of celebrating my marriage.
I love that it’s dainty and I can wear it everyday and it goes well with any outfit and can be layered with my other necklaces.

Got my husband a custom made bracelet for Christmas and he loved it - great quality, speedy delivery and attentive customer care.

Discovering the brand was by chance but not the meaning behind the pieces. Through my conversations with Lillian, I discovered how much thought she had put into this, with the hope that her buyers will always have something that is close to their hearts when wearing her pieces. She was incredible patient as i mulled over what was perfect, and offered her honest thoughts. When I eventually received my item, it was perfect. The craftmanship immaculate - the character was easily recognisable. The bracelet while dainty, is sturdy. This is definitely your go to place, if you would like piece that respects tradition, with a modern twist.

If you are looking for thougthful, meaningful and one-of-a-kind gifts either for yourself or a special someone - this is it! Lillian , the brains and designer behind Rhapsody in Gold, is truly the sweetest person to work with. The design process was so quick and fuss-free, she got the complete gist of what I had in mind immediately and we were able to get design to paper to actual product in a matter of no time! Needless to say, the final product was everything I envisioned it to be, and i"m so glad I found Lillian to custom it!

I am onto my 3rd purchase! The delicacy of Rhapsody in Gold's character necklaces and the charm of Lillian (the brands owner and designer) enticed me to order a bespoke name character necklace. I love it so much, and never take it off! Friends and family have not stopped complimenting on it and I recently ordered 2 more pieces as they made both a perfect 21st gift for a God Daughter and the ultimate leaving HK present for a dear friend.

it's very pretty, exactly as pictured. I like the shade of gold! A bit antiques feels in the shade. A relief it is not too yellow. I love the thickness of the pendant. The style of calligraphy is perfect.

I was introduced to Lillian through a mutual friend and fell in love with her gold Chinese character necklaces. I just had to have one for myself. I chose a bespoke by the yard necklace with 3 characters, each one representing my 3 children's chinese zodiac. That way i can have them close to me always, even when they are not near. It is also symbolic of our years living in Hong Kong. I wear it on its own or i layer it. Lillian made it with 3 possible lengths 18cm, 19cm or 20cm, depending on what i am wearing. I was very pleased with the craftmanship and the overall look of the necklace. I wear it almost everyday. It is very comfortable and light. Thankyou Lillian for creating such a beautiful memorable piece I will always treasure.

The process of finding a meaningful keepsake for my daughter started with a thought of how to pass something to her that would last through the ages. After discovering Rhapsody in Gold the next challenge was to decide on a character, the consultation received and the options given were so helpful and informative. By giving me insight into the world of virtues and symbolism I finally settled on my daughters Chinese Zodiac sign. It is something that will never run out of style or meaning and I know will be treasured forever.
