Product Design student named First Runner-up in 24th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition

Congratulations to our year-2 Product Design student Lee Kwan-ho on being named the First Runner-up (Student Group) in the 24th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition organised by Hong Kong Trade Development Council.

Inspired by the World Tree, a mythical tree of life, the awarded men’s jewellery series ‘The Beetle’ 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.

Themed “The Origin of Life”, this year's competition received nearly 100 entries. The designs were judged based on four criteria—creativity and innovation; aesthetics; craftsmanship and wearability; topic relevance and marketability. 

Winning pieces are being displayed during the fair period of the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, from 1 to 5 March 2023.
