Cheung Ka-Long left us awe-struck once more at the Paris 2024 Olympics, clinching another gold medal for Hong Kong after defeating Italy’s Filippo Macchi 15-14 in a tense final for the Men’s Individual Foil. Known for his precision and agility, Cheung first captured the world’s attention when he secured gold at Tokyo 2020. Now, he has successfully defended his Tokyo 2020 title as the reigning champion. With two consecutive gold medals under his belt, Cheung has made history as the first Hong Kong athlete to ever win two Olympic gold medals.
But it wasn’t just Cheung‘s fencing prowess that dazzled the crowd — the carefully curated stack of jewellery worn on his right hand also captured the intrigue of many, adding an extra sparkle to his triumph. Without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the jewellery that adorned the two-time champion during his most glorious win to date:
Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra Bracelet
The Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra bracelet is a standout piece in Cheung’s collection. The bracelet features iconic four-leaf clover motifs symbolising luck, making it a fitting accessory to wear in a gold medal match — and an Olympic one, no less. Outside of competitions, Cheung has also been spotted wearing the Alhambra in everyday life. After all, who says no to more luck?
Cartier Love Ring and Bracelet
Cheung wore a Cartier Love ring when he triumphed during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Since then, it has become a cherished lucky charm and a mark of his milestones.
He pairs this ring with a matching Love bracelet. The love collection is a symbol of enduring love and commitment, qualities that mirror Cheung’s dedication to his sport.
Hoorsenbuhs Micro Dame Tri-Link Rings
Embracing the trend of mixing metals, Cheung stacked a Hoorsenbuhs yellow gold ring on top of a white gold ring on his middle finger. These rings add an edgy touch to his uniform.
