Geek Peek: Sarah Ho of SHO Jewellery

I first encountered SHO Jewellery back when I was an editor at the luxury mag and founder Sarah Ho was in town to visit her family. I was immediately struck by how down to earth and well… fun Sarah was considering that her family is so well known in town. (She’s the granddaughter of Stanley Ho.) Throughout the years, we’ve kept in touch and it’s been great to see her evolution as a jewellery designer. We talk to Sarah about her love for rice and items on her lust list.

HKFG: What’s on your lust list?
SH: A piece of jewellery by Jar, my favourite designer, I would love to own a fancy blue or fancy pink diamond. It’s the colour I am more interested in rather that the shape of the stone and I would love to make a spectacular piece of jewellery to show it off, a ring by Sevan Bicakci, a wonderful Turkish jewellery designer, also known as ‘the King of Rings’.

HKFG: What fashion item can’t you live without?
SH: My Chanel handbag

HKFG: Thing you could live without... but still can’t bear to part with
SH: My iphone! I just feel lost without it.
