<strong>Innovative and Uniqueness in Design</strong><br />Title of winning design: Urban Reflection<br />Designer: Sarah Zhuang (HK)<br />Sponsoring company: Sarah Zhuang Jewellery<br />Category: Ring

Innovative and Uniqueness in Design Award

Hong Kong designer Sarah Zhuang captured the Innovative and Uniqueness in Design Award. Her piece “Urban Reflection” incorporates Hong Kong’s world-renowned skyline in a set of four rings, depicting the city’s diverse architecture with ultra-modern skyscrapers juxtaposed against historical buildings. The rings can be worn together to form a picture of the iconic skyline with reflection.

<strong>Craftsmanship Award</strong><br />Title of winning design: Best Ring<br />Designer: Borys Palamarchuk (Ukraine)<br />Sponsoring company: PALAMARCHUK Jewelry<br />Category: Ring

Craftsmanship Award

The Craftsmanship Award was presented to Ukrainian designer Borys Palamarchuk. His handmade, hot-enamel “Best Ring” features a round decorative piece with a diamond-studded golden rim and a koi carp that appears to be swimming lithely in the sunshine. The design symbolises the circulation of light energy, which in turn signifies luck, victory and hard work. It is also meant to represent self-sufficiency and moral courage. Swimming against the current, carp are associated with persistence and strength, as well as overcoming challenges and achieving goals. The koi carp, in particular, symbolise the pursuit of ambitious goals and success.

<strong>Aesthetics Award</strong><br />Title of winning design: Stars in Heaven<br />Designer: Michael Weggenmann (Germany)<br />Sponsoring company: Gellner GmbH &amp; Co. KG<br />Category: Ring

Aesthetics Award

German designer Michael Weggenmann won recognition with the Aesthetics Award for his piece “Stars in Heaven”, which is meant to be “a declaration of love to the strong woman”. The design exudes confidence and fascinates with breathtaking contrasts: a black stainless-steel ring with a fine 18-karat rose-gold design is set with a “mysterious” shiny pearl. The precious Tahitian cultured pearl with its iridescent shimmer contrasts the rustic charm of stainless steel.
