Founded by two passionate designers in Central, Hong Kong in 2008, ORIENTSENSES was born from an appreciation for the rich art & cultural heritage of the exotic Asia, blending it with refined Western’s minimalism.

The brand’s name reflects its guiding philosophy – to captivate the senses with the allure of the Orient, through the seamless fusion of gemstones (Akoya Pearls, Jade, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx & more) and sleek sterling silver.

By respecting the natural elegance of the gems and the human artistry of the craftsmanship, ORIENTSENSES elevates the humble beaded format into wearable works of art, which empowers the wearer to embrace their own distinctive sense of style, while honouring its timeless beauty and design.
