    Meeling Wong
    Founder

    Although she trained as an organic chemist, Meeling followed her passion for high style into the world of fine jewelry and never looked back. Working her way up to the most senior positions, she honed her knowledge of the industry and her understanding of its sophisticated customers by helping build such legendary brands as Carolee Designs, David Yurman and John Hardy. Later, at her eponymous consulting company, Meeling worked with coveted brands including Temple St. Clair, H. Stern, De Beers, Coomi, Kimberly McDonald, Diamond in the Rough, Padma Lakshmi, Paolo Costagli, Konstantino and Bochic. Not for one moment does she regret trading in her test tubes.

    Jim Conte
    Founder

    Jim is equally fluent in Japanese and the language of luxury. After completing a PhD in Japanese history, he went on to hold senior marketing positions in Japan, Europe and the U.S. with Godiva, LVMH and Tumi. As a consultant, he later specialized in guiding such exclusive brands as Gucci, Cartier, John Hardy, Konstantino and Jill Platner through the increasingly complicated landscape of technology and consumer demands. Though change may be the one constant, Jim is certain that beautiful, timeless design delivered with impeccable service will never go out of style in any language.
