- 3DG Holdings (International) Limited, formerly known as Hong Kong Resources Holdings Company Limited, is a Bermuda-incorporated investment holding company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (2882.HK) and principally engaged in the retailing, wholesaling, and licensing of gold, platinum, and gem-set jewelry products under the 3D-GOLD brand. Founded in 1991 with registered offices in Hamilton, Bermuda, and headquartered in Hong Kong, the company operates through segments including retailing in Hong Kong, Macau, and Mainland China; wholesaling in Mainland China and Hong Kong; and licensing operations, with a network of approximately 238 shops comprising 105 self-operated stores and 133 licensed outlets across Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Mainland China, and Thailand, targeting mass-market consumers with products such as weight-based gold and platinum items sold at international market prices and fixed-price jewelry. Core offerings encompass gold and platinum jewelry by weight (accounting for 84% of sales), fixed-price jewelry (16% of sales), royalty income from franchising, consultancy fees, and e-commerce sales, primarily generating revenue from Mainland China (79%), Hong Kong/Macau/overseas (21%), with recent financials showing nine-month revenue to March 31, 2025, at HK$712 million (up 18% year-over-year), gross margin expansion to 35% from 28%, driven by network expansion and higher gold prices. In a major strategic shift, Luk Fook Holdings (International) Limited acquired a majority stake in January 2024, enabling business integration, retail network growth (shops up 19 to 238), procurement synergies, and franchise acceleration in lower-tier Mainland cities; the company rebranded to 3DG Holdings (International) Limited in July 2024, discontinued its new media marketing segment, changed its financial year-end to March 31 from June 30 commencing FY2025 to align with Luk Fook, and shifted intangible asset amortization to a finite 16.5-year life post-acquisition, while benefiting from fellow subsidiary financing amid gold hedging challenges from surging prices. As a subsidiary of Luk Fook Holdings (International) Limited, 3DG focuses on hard-gold collections, omni-channel expansion including WeChat integration, and product innovation in 24K offerings to leverage high gold demand and improve margins.
