History

Chow Sang Sang was established in Guangzhou by Mr. Chow Fang Pu (周芳譜) in 1934.[5] When Guangzhou fell to the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the business was relocated to Macau in 1938.

During the 1930s and the 1940s Chow Sang Sang had branches in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau and Zhanjiang, the management of which were divided among Chow Fang Pu's six sons. Pursuant to his will and testament in 1946, all his descendants are entitled to use the trademark of 周生生 ("Chow Sang Sang"). As a result there are now two jewelry companies in Hong Kong bearing the name of 周生生, but no longer related to each other: C. S. S. jewelry (粵港澳湛周生生, literally 'Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Macau-Zhanjiang Chow Sang Sang'), descended from his wife's three sons; and Chow Sang Sang (周生生), reestablished in Hong Kong by his concubine's three sons in 1948.[6]

In 1973, Chow Sang Sang was publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In the year ending 31 December 2011 its total turnover was HK$17,158 million.[5]
