The results of the 21st Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition have been announced, with designer Lee Wing-yan, sponsored by Luk Fook Holdings (International) Limited, taking the top prize with her entry “Freedom and Bondage”. The main design element of her earrings is a group of flying doves breaking free from their tethers to reclaim their freedom. Ms. Lee took the Best of Show Award & Craftsmanship and Technology Award in the Open Group in recognition of her excellence in jewellery design and craftsmanship. The theme for this year’s Jewellery Design Competition was “Relative‧Compatible”.
Another Best of Show Award winner in the Open Group was designer Tang Yuk-ying, sponsored by C.S.S. Jewellery Co. Limited, who created “The Harmony of Sea and Land” using blue and yellow ribbons to represent the symbiosis between the ocean and land. Her creative and delicate bracelet expresses how having an open mind and loving heart allows people to live in harmony. Designer Chareine Lee, sponsored by Charente Fine Jewelry, also won a Best of Show Award in the Open Group with her entry “Eternity”. Her meticulous pendant shaped as a set of unique gears represents the “eternity of time”.
