Aimed at establishing best practices in jewellery design across international markets, the initiative endeavours to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas among leading design institutes worldwide to cultivate talent, enhance creativity and share cross-cultural experiences.
The Global Alliance of Design Institutes was launched at a forum organised by the Xifu International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design Competition 2017 in Shenzhen, China, on 19 April 2017.
The forum's panel of industry leaders and design experts warmly welcomed the initiative. They noted that greater collaboration among learning establishments, coupled with further research and development, would help elevate the standard of jewellery designs in the market by infusing local academic approaches with international perspectives.
Organised by JNA and CJNA of UBM Asia, the World Gold Council and the People's Government of Yantian District, Shenzhen, the biennial Xifu International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design Competition aims to usher in a new era in gold wedding jewellery by encouraging designers from around the world to reflect wedding traditions and customs through fresh and creative designs.
Panellists at the forum also shared their interpretation of the 2017 competition's theme, "Oneness," to provide aspiring contestants with useful insights on designing appropriate entries.
The Xifu International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design Competition 2017 is accepting entries until 31 May 2017. Please see www.xifudesigncompetition.com for more information.
