Brand Origins and History: A Legacy Rooted in Hong Kong
JC & Co. is born from Jocardy, a company co-founded in 2008 by Joe Chan, an industry veteran based in Hong Kong who began his journey in fine jewelry in 1988. From his headquarters in Hong Kong—a global hub for creativity and commerce—Joe envisioned a brand that would blend timeless craftsmanship with innovative techniques to serve customers worldwide. Building on this legacy, Joe created JC & Co. to cater to a new generation of jewelry enthusiasts. The vision behind JC & Co. is to make fine craftsmanship more versatile and wearable for modern lifestyles. By combining intricate techniques—such as detailed sculpting and meticulous setting methods used in high jewelry—with designs that are easy to style yet sophisticated, JC & Co. allows customers to enjoy the artistry of fine jewelry not just on formal occasions but as part of their daily lives. Under Joe’s leadership, JC & Co.’s identity remains deeply tied to Hong Kong’s dynamic spirit while reflecting the same commitment to quality, sustainability, and artistry that has defined Jocardy for over a decade.

This dedication ensures that every customer receives not just jewelry but a tangible expression of joy, love, and identity.
The Heartbeat of JC & Co. : A Community Built on Respect and Joy
Inside JC & Co.’s Bangkok workshop, craftworkers sit at their stations under focused task lighting, their hands moving with precision and purpose. The air hums softly with the sounds of tools at work—polishing wheels spinning gemstones into brilliance or torches shaping molten metal into elegant forms.
Each station is thoughtfully arranged with tools neatly placed alongside soft lighting that illuminates the intricate details being worked on. A woman leans forward intently as she sculpts a delicate piece with steady hands; another carefully handles molten gold at the casting station, flames flickering as he transforms raw material into something extraordinary; nearby trays filled with polished components shimmer under warm light as they await assembly. The environment is calm yet focused—a space where skill meets dedication. When asked if they were comfortable being photographed during their workday, one team member joked with a smile: “At my age, I’m no longer camera shy. I’d be shy if I didn’t get photographed.” Another added playfully: “I’ll make sure to look extra pretty tomorrow!” These lighthearted exchanges reflect not only their comfort but also their pride in what they do.
Whether shaping intricate designs or ensuring each piece meets exacting standards, their passion for excellence shines through every step.
