Organised by JNA and CJNA of UBM Asia, the World Gold Council and the People's

Government of Yantian District, Shenzhen, the biennial competition aims to

usher in a new era in gold wedding jewellery designs.

Response to the Xifu International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design Competition

has been extremely enthusiastic, with submissions pouring in from around the

world since it opened for entries on 1 March 2017. The organisers noted that

jewellery designers have been eager to share their perspective on the subject,

leading to a truly international showcase of various cultures' interpretation

of gold wedding jewellery.

As the deadline for the submission of entries nears, members of the

competition's illustrious panel of judges taped video messages to invite even

more designers to take part in this magnificent opportunity to highlight their

talent and achieve global recognition.

Professor Norman Cherry, chairman of the judging panel, hopes the Xifu

International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design Competition will attract more

entries that genuinely reflect various cultures around the world and their

interpretation of the 2017 theme, "Oneness."

Luxury trends forecaster Paola De Luca sees the competition as an invaluable

opportunity for the world to learn about traditional Chinese wedding jewellery.

She expects entrants to inject new elements to elevate wedding jewellery design

to the next level.

Contemporary artist Ben Mori believes that, aside from the promise of

international acclaim, the competition's grand prize of a 1kg gold bar is also

a great draw and motivator. He is thus looking forward to a huge influx of

entries until the deadline for submissions.  

Professor Xuxiang Tang of Tsing Hua University emphasises the importance of

providing an international perspective on gold wedding jewellery. He lauds the

competition's global nature that reflects the cultures of contestants from

different parts of the world.

Finally, celebrated English jewellery designer Stephen Webster views the

competition as the ideal platform for designers to add modern touches and an

exciting twist to bridal jewellery.

The Xifu International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design Competition 2017 offers

enticing rewards including a 1kg pure gold bar, a gold medal and a gold

certificate for the grand winner. Business opportunities with the "Xifu" brand

also await the victor.
