3-1-2018
L’Orient Le Jour spotlighted today one of the most prominent jewelry brands in Hong Kong by Lebanese Yumna Fakhri Hostelet. The ‘Gold Girl’, the newspaper wrote, has emigrated with family to France with the outbreak of the civil war in Lebanon in1975, where she specialized in gemstone jewelry in Lyon. Later on, she moved to Los Angeles, California to follow up her studies at the most prestigious jewelry institutes in the US. Fakhri began her career in New York City before relocating to Lyon, France where she opened her own store, L’Orient Le Jour said. But as most of her colleagues at the American Institute were from Hong Kong, Fakhri started to travel between Lyon and Asia’s world city of Hong Kong. She married a French national living in Hong Kong and settled there. In 1991, she started her own retail shop and successfully developed a list of customers from around the globe.
