An Intuitive Craft: Belita Jewelry Bedecks Sanlitun

Ever wonder why the market value for gold is so high? Jewelers like it because it’s so malleable, buyers because it’s durable. For Elizabeth Genetti, founder of Belita, it’s in her blood – her family has specialized in making gold jewelry by hand for generations.

As a result, her pieces reflect an intuitive craft, one that appreciates the human touch and the art behind gems and metals.

The entire collection is melded from sterling silver, plated in gold, platinum and rhodium, and bedecked with semi-precious stones and pearls from around the world. But Genetti’s aesthetic stays true to her Californian roots: chic insouciance punctuated by various “trendy” bohemian and tribal influences.

The prices, meanwhile, are as diverse as the state’s terrain: earrings start from RMB 300, necklaces go up to RMB 6,500.

As Katy Perry sings,

"You can travel the world
But nothing comes close
To the golden coast.”
