Oro China opens its doors today, February 11, to a jewelry showcase that sets off a celebration rooted in prosperity, heritage, and smart investing. The Grand CNY Gold Festival, happening at the Atlantic Hall of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino, Lahug, invites Cebuanos to experience gold not only as adornment, but as legacy.
Hosted by Oro China Jewelry, one of the Philippines’ most trusted names in fine jewelry for nearly 60 years, the two-day festival marks an auspicious beginning for the Year of the Fire Horse, which is symbolized by passion, energy, and forward momentum.
Gold that endures
For generations, gold has remained one of the most secure and time-tested investments. For Oro China, this belief is both philosophy and practice.
“Gold has been there for the longest time. It’s the most secured asset anyone could ever have today,” Jennifer Ty, CEO of Oro China Jewelry, shares during the festival’s media launch and preview. “As we approach our 60th year, we want to continue our passion for crafting the most beautiful jewelry for our Filipino clients, while staying energetic and adaptive to changes, just like the Horse.”
This year’s CNY Gold Festival highlights investment-grade Chinese gold jewelry, with massive savings of up to 60% OFF and 0% installment plans for up to 12 months, making it the perfect time to invest in pieces that appreciate in both meaning and value.
Jewelry as heirloom
What sets Oro China apart is its deep understanding of Filipino families and traditions. As a proudly Filipino-based company, Oro China has built trust across multiple generations.
“We’re not just selling jewelry,” Ty emphasizes. “We take care of our clients even after the purchase. Service, after-sales care, and long-term relationships matter to us.”
That sense of continuity resonates with customers who see Oro China pieces passed down from parents to children, serving as true heirloom investment pieces.
“If it’s Oro China, people know it’s trusted, honest, and real,” says Jewel Jalandoni-Camomot, Senior Marketing Manager. “Our clients aren’t just one generation. Many families have been with us for decades. Oro China pieces are meant to last many, many generations.”

New Generation of Gold Owners
Beyond selling, Oro China sees this festival as an opportunity to educate younger buyers encountering gold for the first time.
“Part of our thrust is really education,” Jalandoni-Camomot explains. “From understanding gold as an investment to simple hacks on how to clean and care for jewelry. Older clients already know the value; now we want to guide the next generation.”
Countdown to 60 Years
The Grand CNY Gold Festival also serves as the official kickoff to Oro China’s countdown to its 60th Anniversary—a milestone built on craftsmanship, trust, and enduring relationships with Filipino families.
