His design, <strong>Rice</strong>, pays homage to Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”. The gold-green pendant/brooch illustrates the sparkling vibrance of a rice stalks and emblems Mr Yuan’s invention and his contributions to mankind.<br /><br /><strong>Xu Qihua </strong>and her bracelet/necklace design<strong> Ocean of Life </strong>took home the third Best of Show Award. The design originates from a Greek myth about dolphins guarding oceans. Depicting dolphins darting between waves, the designer urges the wearer to help protect the water resources, ocean and life.<br /><br /><strong>Student Group exudes boundless creativity<br /></strong>To inspire more young design talents to join the jewellery design profession, the competition includes a Student Group, open to students from Hong Kong’s registered schools. <strong>Mak Tin Long</strong> from the VTC Youth College, championed the Group with the pendant/brooch design <strong>Life</strong><strong>·</strong><strong>Cybercity</strong>.

His men’s jewellery series <strong>The Beetles</strong> was inspired by the World Tree, a mythical tree of life. The design features three rhino beetles living in the world tree with a lifespan of only one year, urging humans to experience and cherish life despite the transience of time, life and youth.<br /><br />The Second Runner-up of the Student Group was <strong>Leung Kwok Yee</strong> from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her Taoist-inspired ring design <strong>The Creation of Entirety</strong> uses different materials to represent different elements of life: Pink and green tourmalines represent “yin” and “yang”; cabochon sapphire means the growth of different species; and the five elements are illustrated by white crystals, interlocking coin shapes (water) on the ring shank, cabochon sapphires on branches (soil and wood) and a burning fire shape in the middle.<br /><br /><strong>Twin jewellery shows attract keen participation from global traders<br /></strong>From 1 to 5 March, more than 2,500 exhibitors will showcase exquisite jewellery items and raw materials at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem &amp; Pearl Show.
