Jewellery industry experts will share their views on the rising trend of responsible luxury consumption at a highly anticipated panel discussion to be held at Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA) 2025.

The session, “The Rise of the Eco-Friendly Luxury Consumer,” will delve on how sustainability has become a defining factor for authentic luxury. The conversation will focus on what drives this change and the outlook for luxury jewellery in an increasingly environmentally and socially conscious world. The event is scheduled for June 19, 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. 

Speakers are Lianne Ng, sustainability director of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group; Henry Tse, CEO of Ancardi, Nyrelle & JRNE; and Pui In Catherine Siu, founder of PICS Fine Jewellery.

Ng has been director of Sustainability at Chow Tai Fook since November 2023, overseeing the group’s sustainability strategy development and action plan implementation across the organisation, driving impactful progress in sustainable development.

Before joining Chow Tai Fook, she worked as a sustainability advisor at The Purpose Business. From 2015 to 2019, she was director of External Affairs and Sustainability at Vitasoy, where she led sustainability strategy development and external communications, and significantly enhanced the company’s sustainability performance. 

She also drove waste reduction initiatives, including supporting the establishment of Hong Kong’s first beverage carton recycling facility. Prior to taking up sustainability roles, Ng’s career spanned corporate communications and public, government and community affairs, having worked at different multinational companies.

Meanwhile, Tse is a second-generation jeweller whose journey began over 40 years ago when his father became a goldsmith in Hong Kong. Inspired by family values, he joined the family business early and has over two decades of experience in sourcing, manufacturing and retail, including collaborations with prestigious luxury brands. 

Driven by a passion for innovation, he founded Nyrelle to redefine the jewellery industry by championing transparency, sustainability and ethical practices. Through partnerships like Moyo Gems, Tse actively empowers female miners and advocates for responsible sourcing. By implementing an affordable direct-to-consumer model, he ensures fine jewellery is accessible to women, allowing them to own exquisitely crafted pieces.

Also a next-gen industry leader, Siu is a GIA Graduate Gemologist and jewellery artisan with nearly 15 years of experience. Born in Hong Kong and educated in New Zealand, Siu has a double major in Marketing and International Business from the University of Auckland. 

She believes all natural creations are the perfect combination of art and science; every gem – like every person – has a purpose on Earth. Her journey, driven by curiosity, spans commerce, gemmology, design and craftsmanship. Through her work, she celebrates overlooked details and unrepresented gemstones, aiming to promote social equality and inclusion. She was honoured with the Hong Kong Living Influencer Award in 2021 and named one of Ritzy’s “10 Influential Jewellery Designers” in 2022.
