Jewelry and More
At Hong Kong’s modern convention center, the
Hong Kong International Jewellery Show
kicked off with a record number of exhib-
itors, plus seminars, networking events,
fashion shows, gala dinners, and jewelry
competitions. Conveniently divided into
various sections, this mega-marketplace
included fine jewelry, silver, antique pieces,
equipment, jade, packaging, and various national
pavilions.
In terms of trends, there was something for
everyone. Having said that, however, a few no-
table design directions were evident. Lacy, open
designs continued to be prevalent in light of
metals’ prices. Diamond pieces in all sizes and
price ranges remained popular. Flora and fauna
motifs abounded in a variety of stylized and real-
istic pieces, while long earrings, full-fingered and
multi-fingered rings attracted a lot of attention.
Long, loopy necklaces, pendants and large center
stone rings also graced many display windows.
The next HKTDC twin gem and jewelry shows
will be held in March 2016 with exact dates to be
announced soon.
This remarkable “Venice” ring
