SINGAPORE - Media Outreach Newswire - 9 September 2024 - This year, Gen.K Jewelry® marks a significant milestone, celebrating a decade of crafting timeless elegance. Founded by the sisters Genevie and Kayde Yeo, the brand has made a notable impact on Singapore’s luxury market with its modern reinterpretations of traditional jade jewelry. Gold Capsule: Luisa Collection As Gen.K Jewelry® commemorates its 10th anniversary, the brand reflects on its journey, celebrates its achievements, and unveils its exciting plans for the future. A Decade of Craftsmanship and Dedication According to founder Genevie Yeo, Gen.K Jewelry® began as a passion project, inspired by the jewelry-making skills she learned from her sister, Kayde. She initially pursued this craft alongside her full-time job, showcasing her creations at local events. Her designs soon garnered attention, and with growing interest, the brand "Gen.K Jewelry®" was officially established. The brand has seen exponential growth over the years, from the opening of its first physical store in a shared shophouse in Seah Street to a full shopfront at Pacific Plaza. Today, Gen.K Jewelry®'s flagship store at Capitol Singapore spans three full-sized unit spaces, a testament to its growing success. The brand has also garnered significant local recognition, appearing in prominent publications like Lianhe Zaobao, The Straits Times, and Channel News Asia. Sustainable Sparkle: The Lab Dazzle Series Gen.K Jewelry® has consistently pushed the boundaries of jade jewelry with innovative collections that resonate with modern tastes. The Lab Dazzle series is a prime example of this approach, a collection that features lab-grown diamonds — a recent development in the jewelry industry that delivers the same brilliance and quality as mined diamonds with a smaller environmental footprint. Gen.K Jewelry®'s designs have long celebrated natural beauty, often incorporating floral and leafy motifs that resonate with customers. With the Lab Dazzle series, the brand not only honors these cherished aesthetic elements but also embraces a more sustainable and ethical future. Genevie notes, "It's a celebration of beauty, nature, and our ongoing commitment to creating jewelry that is as responsible as it is radiant." Unveiling the Gold Capsule Collection Customers can also look forward to the Gold Capsule Collection, a series marking the celebration of Gen.K Jewelry®'s 10th anniversary. Starting September 1st, 2024, this collection will be introduced in phases throughout the year, with the potential for further extensions into 2025 and beyond. Defined by its curvaceous and edgy aesthetics, the Gold Capsule Collection is inspired by the refined sophistication of Italian jewelry. "We wanted to create a collection that embodies these qualities while also appealing to the modern woman," Genevie explains. Each piece is crafted from gold and diamonds and includes a unique mechanism that allows the wearer to add or remove jade elements. This design provides versatility, enabling customers to adjust their jewelry to suit both everyday wear and special occasions. Rebirth: A New Era for Gen.K Jewelry® As Gen.K Jewelry® celebrates a decade of growth, it is setting its sights on future growth and new opportunities. Plans are in place to expand the product range to better appeal to the millennial market and to strengthen its presence on traditional and social media platforms. Looking ahead, the brand anticipates significant changes in 2025 as it embarks on a new phase referred to as "Chapter 2." Genevie acknowledges that reaching this milestone has been a team effort, with a dedicated group collaborating, adapting, and contributing ideas to drive the brand forward. This teamwork, along with a focus on innovative design and customer service, has been crucial to Gen.K Jewelry®'s development. Finally, the brand would like to express its sincere appreciation to its customers and supporters. With their trust and encouragement, Gen.K Jewelry is prepared to move forward, exploring new opportunities and continuing its growth into the future.

YIWU, China, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. As a long-standing popular export category from Yiwu to overseas markets, accessories have performed exceptionally well this year. According to Yiwugo's big data analysis, keywords like "bracelets" have topped the platform's hot search terms over the past two months, with silver jewelry and pearl accessories garnering the most attention. The jewellery on yiwugo.com. Ms. Xu Yuanyuan, who has been in the silver jewelry export business for over ten years, has seen great success both online and offline internationally. Her company's design team is highly creative, frequently launching bestsellers. In response to domestic demand, Xu opened a new store in March this year, named Apotie Jewelry, specializing in original pure silver pieces. Back in 2021, the company designed a Heart Gesture Ring, showcasing their unique ability to merge fashion and sentiment in jewelry design. Within just one month of its launch, a single store sold over 10,000 pieces. The design was so popular that it sparked imitations in various materials, and to this day, the ring maintains high sales figures. Xu explains that the chief design team plans its new product development for the entire year at the beginning of each year. Each month, they release about 100 to 200 new designs. Apotie Jewelry entered its product planning phase since December 2023 and by the time it opened in March 2024, there were over 1,000 pieces on display and has since maintained a monthly release of over 100 new items. Within just over three months of operation, the sales exceeded 500,000 yuan, with a high customer acquisition rate driven by the Yiwugo platform. The repeat purchase rate surpassed 47%, quickly propelling the company to success. Ms. Wu Yunfang, who has been in the pearl jewelry industry for 14 years, runs the Fang's Jewelry, which has been a gold member of Yiwugo for 12 years. In recent years, Wu has noticed a sharp rise in the popularity of pearl jewelry in both domestic and international markets. Not only do middle-aged women love pearls, but younger women have also started embracing pearl accessories. Pearls, as a natural form of jewelry, often require manual assembly, including stringing and knotting. Foreign buyers frequently comment, "When we see handmade pearl jewelry, we think of Fang's craftsmanship." With over a decade of experience in training artisans, Fang's Jewelry is known for its intricate yet soft craftsmanship, providing both elegance and comfort for customers. This attention to detail is one of the reasons for their high customer retention. Fang's Jewelry has a stable supply base for shell pearls, ensuring consistent quality and high luster. Wu's years of industry experience have honed her excellent color-matching skills, particularly with uniquely shaped nucleated pearls, often leading to striking designs. There was once a European client who struggled to find a necklace to match his desired look because of the asymmetrical shape of the nucleated pearls he wanted — one end sharp and the other round. After visiting multiple shops without success, he found Wu, who quickly crafted a sample necklace, which led to an immediate order and a lasting partnership. European customers are known to favor sophisticated shades of gray, and in 2018, amid a market dominated by black and white pearls, Wu captured the hearts of many foreign buyers by introducing pearls in varying shades of gray. It's common for individual customers to purchase over 200,000 pieces of a single design in a month. While European markets have traditionally favored gray tones, Wu Yunfang and her team have also broken into this aesthetic with bold combinations like "purple light + white" and "blue + orange", demonstrating their design prowess. Monthly sales for these standout pieces often reach hundreds of thousands. Thanks to Yiwugo's global promotion, many new customers have discovered Fang's Jewelry through the platform. Most first-time buyers become repeat customers after their initial trial orders. Currently, Wu's daughter has also begun assisting her in managing the business, and with the new generation's involvement, the company is poised for a bright future.

HONG KONG, Jan. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelly Huang Jewelry, an Asian young designer, has been honored with the prestigious "JAC Jewelry Brand Gold Award" at the recently held Asia Visionary Impact Awards, which is organized by Spark Up Asia . At just 31 years of age, Kelly Huang draws inspiration from her grandmother's influence and upbringing, which instilled in her a deep passion for jewelry. Guided by a legacy of love, she has chosen to make jewelry her lifelong career. Through her designs, Kelly skillfully revitalizes traditional jewelry, infusing women with elegance and a pursuit of a beautiful life journey. Kelly Huang Jewelry The award ceremony took place in Hong Kong and received support from the Global Fashion Jewelry and Accessories Council. This collaboration marks a significant milestone as it is the first time the Asia Visionary Impact Awards have partnered with the jewelry industry leaders. During the ceremony, Kelly Huang graciously accepted the trophy from Ms. Tan Jingwen, Deputy Secretary-General of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce Youth Entrepreneur Association. Expressing her heartfelt gratitude, Kelly shared her personal journey, stating that she feels immensely honored to have the opportunity to showcase her talent on the international stage. This award not only symbolizes her individual dedication but also shines a spotlight on the innovative jewelry designs emerging from Taiwan to the world. Starting from high school, Kelly Huang began learning metalworking and pursued a degree in industrial design in university, gradually embarking on the path of jewelry design. Along the way, she has received numerous accolades, including third place in the international skills competition for "Jewelry Gold and Silver Craftsmanship" and the esteemed bronze award in China's renowned "Jade Mastery Awards." She has also been nominated as one of the Asian candidates for the 2024 Global Jewelry Hall of Fame. Kelly Huang is a jewelry designer who seeks to create unforgettable experiences for jewelry enthusiasts through her exquisite vintage-inspired designs and exceptional craftsmanship in transforming raw gemstones. With a remarkable dedication of almost 8 years in the jewelry industry, Kelly has been driven by a desire to break free from the conventional design styles that dominate the market. Taking a bold leap forward, she founded her own brand, Kelly Huang Jewelry, and established a stunning jewelry showroom in Taipei. Kelly Huang has a remarkable talent for reinterpreting heirloom jewelry passed down from clients' ancestors. Many customers seek her expertise in transforming raw gemstones, as she attentively listens to their fashion preferences, style, and budget, ensuring their priorities are respected. With several orders for transforming valuable gemstones, worth millions, Kelly has earned the trust of her clients through her meticulousness and professionalism. One memorable instance involved a customer entrusting Kelly with customizing their grandmother's inherited emerald and sapphire. She skillfully transformed these magnificent and rare treasures, typically seen only at auctions, into elegant and fashionable pieces suitable for everyday wear, allowing their grace and elegance to be cherished across generations. Kelly believes that jewelry should not be confined to a safe; instead, these beautiful treasures should be showcased in daily life. By carefully listening to the client's story, she breathed new life into the initial outdated designs, infusing them with her creativity. This seamless blend of jewelry craftsmanship and the client's story filled with love and memories resulted in stunning pieces that were truly unique. Kelly has a deep connection to her grandmother, who would always adorn herself with jewelry, even during everyday activities like going to the market. She was passionately pursued by a young pilot (grandfather) who would shower her with lilies from the sky. This experience instilled in Kelly's grandmother the belief that women deserve to be cherished, and she wanted to pass on this sentiment to Kelly. The grandfather's affectionate gestures, such as buying her favorite foods and gifting her jewelry, left a lasting impression on Kelly, even when she was just a young girl. She vividly recalls her grandmother helping her put on a pearl necklace at the hair salon, planting the seed of the belief that "women deserve love." Inspired by her grandmother's genuine love, Kelly aspires to pass on values like confidence, courage, and the importance of being treated well to her clients. Kelly's designs are not only influenced by personal emotions and memories but also by her profound exploration of the world. Her passion for travel, especially in Europe, the birthplace of jewelry and culture, has inspired her to create unique jewelry collections. One of her captivating collections is "Sky Garden," which draws inspiration from Italy. It incorporates patterns reminiscent of Roman architecture, while butterflies symbolize freedom and beauty, serving as enchanting design elements. To discover more inspiring stories and designs from Kelly, follow her on Instagram: Kellyhuang_jewelry. Travel has also served as a catalyst for Kelly's perspective on life. During a trip to a mining area in Sri Lanka in search of gemstones, she witnessed a remarkable phenomenon. Despite the country's financial struggles, its people possessed a carefree and resilient spirit, embracing the notion of "as long as we're alive, the pandemic hasn't defeated us." This profound realization left a lasting impact on Kelly, prompting her to question her approach to creativity: "Since jewelry is a reflection of life, should I embrace more freedom and experimentation in my designs?" The journey to Sri Lanka became a transformative and inspiring chapter in her artistic evolution. The life philosophies that Kelly absorbs while traveling often resemble the metamorphosis of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Consequently, butterflies frequently grace her creations. One notable design is the butterfly two-finger ring. Kelly explains, "I have noticed the inherent beauty of many clients' hands." Crafting a two-finger ring poses significant challenges as it requires a precise fit, allowing for fluid movement of the adjacent finger joints. Each intricate detail must be perfected. Through interviews, it becomes evident that Kelly is not only a gifted and talented designer but also an individual who relentlessly pursues the pinnacle of craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. "As a versatile jewelry designer, my aspiration is to expand my reach on the international stage." Kelly Huang's distinctive creativity and expertise have garnered the trust of her clients, enabling her to showcase the excellence of Asian jewelry design to the world. Like a butterfly adorned with precious gemstones, she envisions herself gracefully dancing and soaring in the radiant spotlight, embodying the spirit of freedom and artistic expression.
香港2024年1月5日 /美通社/ -- 剛出爐的亞洲卓越影響力大獎「JAC 珠寶品牌金獎」得主黃毓亭（ Kelly Huang )，現年只有31歲，自小深受祖母的啓發和熏陶，在愛的傳承下，影響她決定把珠寶當作終身職業。以珠寶為媒介，擅長將傳統珠寶翻新設計，賦予女性優雅氣質，追求美好的生活。 Kelly Huang Jewelry 頒獎典禮在香港舉行，得到了全球時尚珠寶與飾品協會的支持，也是首次與亞洲卓越影響力大獎合作舉辦。在典禮上，黃毓亭從上海工商聯青創聯副秘書長談晶文女士手中接過獎杯時，感激地分享心路歷程：很榮幸能站上國際殿堂，這次的獲獎不僅代表個人努力，更讓台灣的珠寶設計被世界看見。 自高中開始學習金工，大學修讀工業設計，一步一步走上珠寶設計的路，更屢獲殊榮，其中包括：國際技能競賽「珠寶金銀細工」第三名，中國最著名的「翡翠神功獎銅獎」等，也被提名為2024 全球珠寶名人堂的亞洲代表候選人之一。 『透過復古而華麗的設計，以及獨特的工藝改造傳承裸石，讓珠寶愛好者留住美好記憶。』儘管不是珠寶二代，黃毓亭已經從事珠寶行業近8年，渴望打破市場上過於刻板的設計風格，去年她下定決心，勇敢地創立了自己的品牌Kelly Huang Jewelry，在台北建立珠寶鑒賞室。 她擅長為客戶將長輩傳承下來的珠寶重新詮釋。不少客人喜歡找毓亭改造裸石，她會傾聽客戶的穿搭和風格喜好、預算配置，不會讓客人本末倒置。曾經收過幾次破千萬的裸石改造訂單，「這不是馬上就有的，而是一開始被測試過很多次，客人才慢慢丟出更貴重的裸石給我。」她細心和專業令她得到客戶的信任。改造珠寶和拆寶石的過程都需要很多知識的累積，也需要懂得鑒定，才知道寶石的裂痕有沒有觸及表面，知識不足可能損壞珠寶。 印象深刻的一次，客戶拿著婆婆送贈的祖母綠和藍寶石，珍而重之地交給她客制化改造，將那些只在拍賣會上出現的華麗珍品，變為一件又一件簡約而時尚的首飾，讓客人在日常生活中配戴，也讓優雅可以世代傳承。『珠寶首飾不應該只放在保險櫃內，這麼漂亮的珍寶，應該在生活中盡情展現。』仔細聆聽客戶的故事後，早期較為老氣的設計，在她手上便如變魔法般注入新的生命，加入她的巧思，完美的結合了珠寶工藝與客戶充滿愛與回憶的人生故事。 『奶奶是個連上菜市場都會打扮戴珠寶的人，當年更受到年輕的飛官爺爺從空中撒百合花熱烈追求。』原來祖母想將女人值得被疼愛的信念傳承給毓亭，回想起飛官爺爺對奶奶的疼愛，常常買她喜歡吃的食物、送贈珠寶給她。也會送珠寶給當年只有國小的毓亭。某次奶奶在髮廊幫她戴上珍珠項鍊的情景，雖然還是懵懵懂懂，但「女人值得被愛」的信念已逐漸萌芽生根，「她真摯的傳承在疼愛著我，我也想將自信、勇敢、值得被好好對待的價值，傳承給顧客。」 『設計中融入個人情感和回憶，靈感也來自於對世界的深度探索。』毓亭喜歡到不同國家，特別是歐洲這個珠寶和文化起源重要之地，創造了多個獨特的珠寶系列，其中包括以義大利為靈感的「空中花園」；羅馬建築經常出現的圖騰花紋，蝴蝶象徵自由與美麗，也幻化成設計元素。更多關於毓亭的設計與靈感故事，歡迎追蹤 IG:Kellyhuang_jewelry。 旅行也啓發她如何看待生命，一次在斯里蘭卡礦區尋找礦石，她發現這個國家雖然破產了，但人民卻有一種「疫情沒有死掉，就這樣活著」的灑脫感。這種對生命的體悟深深地撼動她：「既然珠寶是生活的焠鍊，我是否在創作上應該更放手嘗試？」，而這次斯里蘭卡的旅行讓她的設計上再一次的蛻變與昇華。 旅行中汲取的生命哲學，都有一種破繭而出羽化成蝶的感覺。正因如此，蝴蝶時常出現在她的作品中。蝴蝶跨指戒，是其中一項設計，「我發現很多客戶的手背非常美。」跨指戒的製作難度甚高：手圍的大小要剛剛好，戴上後要讓兩根手指的關節都能靈活活動，每一個細節都要完美處理。從訪談的對話中，可以深刻感受到她不僅僅是一位天分才華洋溢的年輕設計師，更是對工藝細節追求極致。 『作為全能型的珠寶設計師，期望能進一步走向國際。』黃毓亭的獨特創意和專業知識，贏得了客戶的信任，讓世界可以看見亞洲優秀的珠寶設計師。寄望她好像那只釀上寶石的蝴蝶，在閃耀的燈光下，自由地躍動、飛舞。
