It runs concurrently with the 11th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show which opened on Sunday (2 March) at AsiaWorld-Expo and finishes on 6 March. This year's twin jewellery shows have attracted some 4,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries and regions, showcasing a spectrum of jewellery raw materials, finished products and technological tools, helping to create an international one-stop jewellery trading platform.Leading the trend with innovative and fashionable designsThe jewellery industry is increasingly focusing on fashionable styles, with innovative designs becoming key to helping products stand out in the market. For many years, the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show has provided an excellent platform for exhibitors to showcase their boundless creativity and exquisite craftsmanship. This year, Hong Kong exhibitor OSI Vitoria Jewelry (Booth: CEC GH-E08) introduces a floral necklace featuring a 62-carat emerald surrounded by more than 3,400 spinels, sapphires and diamonds, depicting the dazzling moment of fireworks lighting up the sky. Japanese exhibitor Jewelry of Raden & Urushi (Booth: CEC 1CON-016) presents a dragon-shaped brooch and pendant made of 18K gold, Akoya pearls, diamonds and mother-of-pearl, with intricate craftsmanship that imbues the design with life.

In the newly added Gold Jewellery Zone, Malaysian exhibitor Chl Innovation Industries Sdn Bhd (Booth: CEC 3E-D15) exhibits a durian pendant with distinctive local charm.Many exhibitors keep their fingers on the pulse of jewellery trends and launch creative products incorporated with traditional cultural elements. Hong Kong exhibitor Zuri Jewelry Company Limited (Booth: CEC 1E-C18) capitalised on Hong Kong’s “panda economy” to introduce its "Panda and Bamboo" jewellery collection. Changzhou Yi'an Jewelry Co., Ltd (Booth: CEC 1CON-029) from Mainland China harnesses filigree inlay technique, an almost-lost craft that is part of China’s intangible cultural heritage, to create 18K gold wheatears – a piece that won the Best Design Award in the 2019 Tiangong Awards.A new addition to this year’s show is the Young Jewellery Designer Arena, showcasing the creations and craftsmanship of up-and-coming talents to global buyers. The event also features 18 national, regional and industry pavilions, including the UK Pavilion led by British Jewellery & Giftware International with sophisticated jewellery pieces from eight British designers.Two major jewellery design competitions discover and nurture new talentsThe HKTDC has always put great emphasis on discovering and nurturing emerging talents to further elevate the standard of jewellery design. This year, it has once again joined hands with The Jewellers’ & Goldsmiths’ Association of Hong Kong Limited, Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers' Association and the Diamond Federation of Hong Kong, China Ltd to organise the 7th International Jewellery Design Excellence (IJDE) Award and the 26th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition (HKJDC) to identify new talents. The award ceremonies for the two competitions were held this morning and the winning entries will be on display at the Hall 1D and 1E Concourse throughout the International Jewellery Show.  Held for the first time since the pandemic, the 2025 IJDE Award received an enthusiastic response with 80 award-winning entries from nine countries and regions competing for the highest honour – the “Champion of the Champions”. The entries were assessed by an esteemed panel of judges with Lawrence Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show Fair Organising Committee, serving as chief judge and other members including representatives from L’ECOLE, School of Jewelry and the De Beers Group, among others. (See Table 1 for the list of selected winning entries from the 7th IJDE Award.)The theme for this year's HKJDC was "Lasting Brilliance", encouraging participants to showcase the enduring allure of jewellery through their creations. The competition was divided into an Open Group and Student Group and received a total of 86 entries. The judging panel, made up of six professionals from diverse fields such as jewellery and design, selected the winning entries after careful consideration. (See Table 2 for the list of selected winning entries from the 26th HKJDC.)Series of events enhance industry networkingA jewellery networking reception is being held tonight to boost connections among participants, welcoming jewellery industry representatives and both local and international buyers. Salina Yan, Permanent Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (Financial Services) of the Hong Kong SAR Government, will be the Guest of Honour. In addition, three jewellery parades will be held during the show, echoing its "Symphony of Sparkles" theme with displays of exquisite jewellery pieces. Over the course of the twin jewellery shows, more than 30 industry seminars, parades and other activities are being organised to further facilitate industry exchange.Table 1: Selected winning entries from the 7th International Jewellery Design Excellence AwardChampion of the ChampionsTitle of winning design: The KaleidoscopeDesigner: Nadia Neuman （Australia）Category: NecklaceDescription*:Designed with interchangeable components, this can be worn in a number of ways and features a fully functioning kaleidoscope. It showcases the beauty and versatility of natural coloured diamonds in both polished and rough formsInnovative and Uniqueness in Design AwardTitle of winning design: Summer Night CelebrationDesigner: Ying Chen CHEN （Taiwan）Category: EarringsDescription*:The inspiration for this piece comes from the mystical Barringtonia flower – a night fairy of the summer. Her life lasts only for a single nightAs dusk falls, she blooms in quiet elegance, only to gently descend with the first light of dawn. Though her existence is fleeting, she shines like fireworks and is breathtakingly beautifulIn this design, I sought to capture the moment when the stamens burst forth from the bud, with countless filaments unfurling like delicate tendrils, radiating boundless energy, vitality and freedom. This imagery deeply moved me, reminding me that “Life, like a flower, is fleeting – not measured by its length, but by whether it has burned brightly”As a jewellery designer, I often ask myself: what can I leave behind in this world' Perhaps, through my creations, I can transform those fleeting moments of emotion into eternal beautyCraftsmanship AwardTitle of winning design: Born of BlueDesigner: CHAN Hoi Yi （Hong Kong）Category: Pendant/BroochDescription*:Inspired by a proverb from my favorite philosopher Xunzi: "Born of blue, but better than blue"Blue dye was distilled from the indigo plant, but the dye was bluer than the plant itself. The knowledge taught by teacher made the students surpass the teacher himselfThis inspired my design like a visual metaphor: the Chinese-Cloud symbolises knowledge (an everchanging form/law of nature)ï¼›Chinese-Knots symbolise teacher/students (from a simple to a complex shape, to the deepening of blue colours. The progress symbolises self-improvement)I admire the vague elegance in this proverb. It's humble, pure, not flashy, with a scent of scholarly temperament, with goodwill and charm. It may sound a bit naive and idealistic today, but that’s what I want to express in this jewelleryAesthetics AwardTitle of winning design: ContemplationDesigner: Mariia EFIMOVA （Russia）Category: RingDescription*:In a world where everything happens too fast, beauty is commonplace, and we are often seduced only by the outside. But the underside sometimes says much more. "Contemplation" is an invitation to stop and a reminder that true beauty lies within us Table 2: Selected winning entries from the 26th Hong Kong Jewellery Design CompetitionOpen Group – Best of Show Award and Craftsmanship & Technology AwardTitle of design: Romance & ClassicsDesigner: Tse Ka-wingCategory: RingDescription*:Jewellery and renowned artworks share an inseparable relationship and common origins.

The butterfly is like a dream, conveying people's longing and desire for the future. Each flap of the butterfly’s wings is a hymn to lifeOpen Group – Best of Show AwardTitle of design: WHIMSYDesigner: Chow Tin-yiCategory: Pendant/BroochDescription*:The hourglass cradles the gentle dreams of childhood, each glowing grain of sand falls softly to capture the delicate passage of time and its precious moments. A pendant, delicate and detachable, imbues the piece with elegance and personality, speaking of eternity and the sparkle of dreamsStudent Group – ChampionTitle of design: Blossom in PorcelainDesigner: Liu KanglanSchool: The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityCategory: RingDescription*:The blue and white porcelain is a manifestation not only of beauty, but also the passing of time and the continuity of Chinese culture.

(2511.HK), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of multifunctional multi-targeted therapies for chronic liver and metabolic diseases, today announced that data from the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study evaluating berberine ursodeoxycholate (HTD1801) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was published online in JAMA Network Open. The publication reports results of the randomized, placebo-controlled 12-week study to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability of HTD1801 compared to placebo in patients with T2DM. The trial achieved its primary endpoint by demonstrating a statistically significant and superior reduction in HbA1c at week 12 with HTD1801 versus placebo. A majority of patients treated with HTD1801 achieved target HbA1c <7%. Further, results show therapeutic benefit of HTD1801 on LDL and total cholesterol, markers of liver injury and systemic inflammation. In this study, HTD1801 was well tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events observed. These findings are being confirmed in ongoing Phase 3 studies.“We are encouraged by the results of this Phase 2 study. The study provides evidence that HTD1801 can treat the core aspects of metabolic syndrome, with potential to provide a spectrum of therapeutic effects that appear to address comorbid conditions that exacerbate disease and worsen prognosis of patients with T2DM,” said Dr. Linong Ji, Professor of Medicine at Peking University, Director of Peking University Diabetes Center and Director of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Peking University People’s Hospital, in Beijing, China.“Based on these positive findings, we are continuing to advance the clinical development of HTD1801 in our ongoing Phase 3 T2DM program with topline results expected in the first half of this year,” said Dr. Liping Liu, CEO of HighTide Therapeutics.About JAMA Network Open JournalJAMA Network Open is an international, peer-reviewed, open access, general medical journal that publishes research on clinical care, innovation in health care, health policy, and global health across all health disciplines and countries for clinicians, investigators, and policy makers.

SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) achieved another major milestone in the development of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) by flying U.S. government-provided autonomy software aboard a company-owned MQ-20 Avenger®. The demonstration was part of the Air Force Test Center's all-domain test series called Orange Flag 25-1, which took place Feb. 19-21 at Edwards Air Force Base, California.The demonstration included the use of a government-provided Pilot Vehicle Interface (PVI), showcasing GA-ASI's commitment to advancing its UCAV ecosystem through collaboration with partners and government entities and integrating cutting-edge technologies. Avenger is a jet-powered UAS used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed for future Autonomous Collaborative Platforms.GA-ASI also demonstrated the ability to rapidly swap between autonomy systems midflight over Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) satellites utilizing an autonomy product from Shield AI.Orange Flag 25-1 is part of the larger Orange Flag Evaluation and Demonstration Event series. This event brought together various stakeholders to test and validate advanced aerospace technologies in realistic operational scenarios.The government-provided autonomy software - known as a reference autonomy stack - was integrated into the GA-ASI Avenger and demonstrated autonomous flight operation capabilities focused on conducting air-to-air engagements. The government-provided PVI enabled seamless control and monitoring of the autonomy stack, highlighting the interoperability and flexibility of GA-ASI's UCAV ecosystem. The Shield AI stack demonstrated autonomy skills for safe administrative phases of flight.What the flights proved was that GA-ASI aircraft can quickly go from company-written software, to government-provided, to other vendors' software as needed. This reinforces that the new generations of GA-ASI's UCAVs can seamlessly get upgrades as fast as developers finish them. Just as a mobile phone can get new and better features with each update, so too can new UCAVs get more capable and more versatile."This demonstration marks a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to operationalize autonomy for UCAVs," said GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood. "Flying the government reference autonomy stack at Orange Flag 25-1 and utilizing the government-provided PVI underscores our commitment to delivering robust and adaptable autonomy solutions for the warfighter. We especially appreciate and salute the support we received from the 309th Software Engineering Group."The successful flight at Orange Flag 25-1 further validates GA-ASI's dedication to maturing its open standards-based autonomy software ecosystem. By adhering to government-owned and maintained standards, GA-ASI ensures rapid integration of best-of-breed capabilities from third-party providers, enhancing the overall operational effectiveness of UCAV platforms.GA-ASI continues to demonstrate its commitment to advancing autonomy for UCAVs through a series of flight tests and collaborations with government and industry partners. These efforts are aimed at developing an autonomy infrastructure that enables rapid integration and validation of tactical software applications while maintaining safety of flight and providing warfighters with the most advanced capabilities possible. GA-ASI has been selected by the U.S. Air Force to build and fly the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc.
