Dinner with Michael Lo

Last night I had dinner with Michael. He is the owner of Dejade in Mandarin Gallery. He was here for a brief visit and he suggested dinner.

I first met him years ago when I visited the famous Canton Street in HK looking for jade. I visited a shop owned by his parents and met him and his brother there.

Over the years I have met him and his family at various jewelry fairs in Singapore.

Some 2 years back, he decided to open a shop in Singapore to diversity from HK, which was experiencing a huge exodus of people then. I remember visiting his shop on the opening day. I bought a green Jade bangle that day to support him. I have been wearing this bangle ever since. I paid a very decent price for it and it is a purchase I have been very happy with since!
