About
Mark&Zin
Founded on Tradition, Crafted with Passion
Since 1988, Mark&Zin has been rooted in the vibrant city of Hong Kong as a distinguished pearl boutique. From our humble beginnings, we have grown into a celebrated brand known for exceptional quality and refined craftsmanship that honors the timeless allure of pearls.
Mastery in Every Detail
At the heart of our brand lies our exclusive artisan studio, where skilled craftsmen blend age-old techniques with innovative design. Each piece is meticulously created to achieve perfection, reflecting both artistry and precision.
Ethically Sourced, Naturally Beautiful
We proudly select only the finest non-nucleated freshwater pearls—renowned for their radiant luster and unique organic shapes. Our pearls are harvested through ethical, sustainable practices that respect the environment and the communities involved.
Inside the Atelier
At Mark&Zin, each piece is born at the workbench — guided by skilled hands, thoughtful eyes, and timeless tools. In our light-filled studio, artisans handcraft every detail with care, from selecting natural pearls to the final setting. No two pieces are ever the same — because true luxury takes time, intention, and a human touch.
The Soul of a Pearl
At Mark&Zin, we seek more than just beauty — we seek brilliance. Only pearls with luminous, mirror-like luster and rich overtones are chosen, each reflecting light with a natural elegance that can’t be imitated.
Sourced from our pearl farms known for pristine waters and expert cultivation, our pearls exhibit exceptional luster, refined surface quality, and a radiance that sets them apart.
The Beauty Lies in Quiet Details
Behind every Mark&Zin piece is a moment of quiet focus — an artisan carefully selecting each pearl by hand, examining luster, shape, and tone with trained eyes. It’s a meticulous process, rooted in patience and care. Because true beauty, we believe, lives in the smallest, most thoughtful details.
The Founder Behind Mark&Zin
Founded on Tradition. Designed with a Refined Spirit.
Mark&Zin was founded in 1988 by Mark Chan, a second-generation pearl expert from a family dedicated to pearls in Hong Kong’s historic Pearl Market district. Combining refined craftsmanship with deep expertise and passion, Mark creates pieces that embody elevated beauty and exceptional quality.
“Zin” reflects our brand’s spirit — a commitment to intentional elegance and the belief that true distinction lies in uniqueness.
Today, every Mark&Zin piece is crafted with precision and purpose — from pearls cultivated in pristine waters to thoughtful design in our atelier.
37 years of making, still by hand
Since 1988 — one pair of hands, countless pearls
Mark Chan started making pearl jewelry in 1988 — and never stopped.
Over three decades later, he still sits at the bench, shaping each piece by hand. From sorting freshwater pearls to setting them into metal, his hands have shaped the identity of Mark&Zin from the very beginning. There are no shortcuts. No hand-offs. Just one man’s quiet devotion to doing things the right way.
For us, that’s where meaning begins.
Crafted in Harmony
The Artisans Behind Mark&Zin
Behind every Mark&Zin piece is a team that sees beauty not as decoration, but as structure, proportion, and light.
Here, jewelry isn’t produced — it’s designed, shaped, and refined by hands that share the same vision.
This is how we work: with precision, restraint, and an enduring commitment to beauty and quality.
Ethically Sourced. Artistically Refined. Where Purity Begins, Design Continues.
At Mark&Zin, our journey starts at the source — calm, natural waters where high-quality pearls are carefully cultivated. We blend this origin purity with refined minimalist designs, creating pieces that carry modern elegance and speak to those who seek meaning in every detail. Each creation reflects a thoughtful harmony between nature’s gift and artistic vision, designed to express your unique style and soul.
