Response to the Xifu International Gold Wedding Jewellery Design

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.

importance of providing an international perspective on gold
wedding jewellery. He lauds the competition's global nature that
