Hi Joan,

I don’t really know any Hong Kong Jewellers well, but I can read
Chinese and I found their contact phone number: (852) 2822-8524. It’s
best that you can make a phone call to speak with the person to
confirm about the email & their offer being legit, not a fraud or
scam. This ‘Kingfook’ seems to be a very well established jeweller in
HK. I am certain they will have staffs who speak fluent English.

Good luck.

Hi Joan,

Were you able to see the king fook website in English? It’s a very
tiny link, but it’'s there. When you go to kingfook.com, click on
“enter here”, then in the new window that pops up, there is the
annoying flash stuff, but up at the top right hand corner it says
really small, “Eng”. If you click on that, then at the bottom of the
window in black it says “menu”, click on that and you can see, in
english, links to pictures of their jewelry. Maybe if you saw that
it would help you decide how your work fits into their design
philosophy. My only advice is, be careful with these big companies,
they can take forever to pay you. If you are small workshop, you may
or may not be able to handle that. I worked as a merchandiser for a
huge jewelry company and saw how poorly they treated their
manufacturors. On the other hand, this could be big big business for
you!

Good luck.
