A jewelry brand with a Chinese CEO, Fred Samuel set up his namesake jewelry brand in 1936 at the age of 28, with the aim of making women around the globe feel even more beautiful.

Appointed chief executive officer of the company last November, Hong Kong-born Charles Leung reveals that almost 40 percent of the brand's customers are male.
