Organised by the Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers’ Association (HKJMA) and Hong Kong Jewelry Express, the contest serves as a vital platform for young designers and established jewellery manufacturers to interact, exchange ideas and turn design concepts into spectacular works of art. Working around the theme “Colourful,” the competition drew 250 entries, 60 percent of which were from overseas. Ultimately, 14 designs made it to the finals. Bringing these creative ideas to life were some of the most well-known jewellery manufacturers in the region. The “Graceful Phoenix” brooch took home the Champion and Best Craftsmanship Awards. Manufactured by Dai Sun Jewellery Co Ltd, the brooch is embellished with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, green garnets and mother-of-pearl shells in 18-karat rose gold.
