Manufacturers of precious metal chains and jewellery components will showcase their latest collections at the upcoming Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong.

Taking centre stage at Japan-based BICO GHI Corp’s booth is its coveted Japanese Kihei chain for men and women. Composed of small, twisted bean chains, these offer more reflective facets and a shinier appearance. 

“All of our Kihei chains are 12-sided. This means that they are more exquisite than 2-sided, 6-sided, or 8-sided chains. There are fewer gaps in between so the chains are resistant to breakage. They are very durable and soft,” the company said.

Jewellery producer and wholesaler BICO GHI specialises in made-in-Japan 18-karat and platinum classic chains, Kihei chains, snake bone chains and gold coin pendants. The company is celebrating its 57th anniversary this year. 

Meanwhile, buyers can choose from JK findings’ wide array of precious metal beads in karat gold or sterling silver. It also offers gold-filled products and those in various finished and plating options. Its popular durable and trendy magnetic clasp is another highlight in its booth. 

Founded in 1975, US-based JK Findings manufactures precious metal jewellery findings, beads, chains, wires, finished pieces and customisable jewellery. “Our recent acquisition of Intercept Silver & Jewelry Care has expanded our product range with Intercept Technology™ anti-corrosion and anti-tarnish products specifically for the silver and jewellery industries,” the company revealed.
