PERSPECTIVE 精辟视野 JNA March/April 2025 | 21 HKJJA welcomes representatives from the ASEAN Gems and Jewellery Trade Association (AGJA) during a courtesy call in Hong Kong on September 20, 2024 于2024年9月20日，香港珠宝玉石 厂商会欢迎东盟宝石与珠宝贸易协会(AGJA)的代表在香港进行 礼节性拜访 JNA: Could you share with us HKJJA’s major initiatives in 2025? Chan: In celebration of HKJJA's 60th anniversary this year, we are organising a celebratory dinner during Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong in September. We are also excited to collaborate with the ASEAN Gems & Jewellery Association (AGJA) to co-organise the ASEAN Gems & Jewellery Leaders Conference in the latter half of 2025. This is expected to further elevate the global reputation of Hong Kong jewellers. Of course, we are also focused on facilitating our members’ participation in local and overseas jewellery exhibitions. JNA: What are some emerging consumption trends in the market today? Chan: With the surge in gold prices, there is growing interest in gold jewellery among Asian buyers as a value preservation option. Hong Kong jewellers are staying attuned to this trend by offering an array of lightweight, affordable luxury choices, including gold pieces adorned with gems and diamonds. Meanwhile, it is essential for Hong Kong jewellers to communicate their sustainability initiatives more effectively to meet rising consumer interest in this area. JNA: Do you also foresee challenges ahead? Chan: Ongoing global economic instability will continue to weigh on consumption sentiment. Mainland China’s economic downturn is inevitably affecting Hong Kong's overall economy. And it will take time for mainland China to recover. I anticipate persistent challenges for Hong Kong jewellers in the near term. However, I also have an optimistic outlook, given that Hong Kong jewellers are known for their adaptability and agility. In addition, thanks to Hong Kong’s international trade status, we are well positioned for recovery once the mainland market rebounds. JNA: Please identify other bright spots for the Hong Kong jewellery trade in 2025. Chan: Tapping into new markets could help mitigate existing difficulties. We must explore business opportunities in emerging markets, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam in Southeast Asia as well as Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. Their rapid economic development presents significant growth and bright prospects. Jewellers also have to enhance the design, quality and workmanship of their jewellery products. 新一届理事会上任后，香港珠宝玉石厂商会 (HKJJA)开启了新的篇章。恒和珠宝集团有限公 司主席陈伟立于2024年获委任为会长。此前，他 担任HKJJA副会长超过16年。前会长张敬猷则担任商会的 荣誉会长兼理事。 陈伟立在珠宝业拥有超过20年的经验。在与《JNA亚洲 珠宝》的访谈中，他表示将致力履行商会的使命和承诺，同 时促进业界紧密合作。 JNA：作为HKJJA的新任会长，您对协会和中国香港珠宝行 业有什么愿景？ 陈伟立：我很荣幸能接任会长一职。自1965年以来，HKJJA 在促进中国香港珠宝首饰和玉石出口方面担当举足轻重的 角色。本地珠宝业面对全球经济挑战之际，我的首要任务是 为我们的会员寻找新的商机，希望更积极增进业界之间的 交流，并开拓新兴市场。 HKJJA一向与意大利、欧洲、美国，以及东南亚国家联盟 (东盟)的珠宝业商会紧密合作。我们的目标是促进本地与国 际不同的商会交流，不止珠宝业，甚至是其他行业的商贸组 织，从而扩阔业界的网络，开拓更多国际市场的潜在商机。 JNA：HKJJA 2024-2026年度理事会增添了几位年轻一代 的珠宝商，这将如何推动HKJJA的未来发展？ 陈：随着许多第二或第三代领导人接掌家族企业或开始自 己的事业，理事会也应当让年轻一代积极参与。他们的崭新 想法和营商理念对推动珠宝行业创新和可持续发展非常重 要。事实上，我们于2019年成立菁英委员会，希望鼓励年轻 一代为行业注入活力，这举措有助振兴中国香港珠宝业。 JNA：您能和我们分享HKJJA于2025年的主要项目吗？ 陈：为庆祝HKJJA成立60周年，我们计划将于环球盛事 | 九 月香港珠宝首饰展览会期间举办庆祝晚宴。我们也很高兴 能与东盟宝石与珠宝贸易协会(AGJA)合作，在2025年下半 年携手举办东盟宝石及珠宝领导会议，预计这将提升中国 香港珠宝业的国际形象。当然，我们亦会致力协助会员参与 本地及海外的珠宝展览会。 JNA：目前市场上有哪些新兴消费趋势？ 陈：由于金价的飙升，亚洲买家对金饰的保值能力越发感兴 趣。中国香港珠宝商顺应这趋势，推出许多小克重轻奢金 饰，包括镶嵌宝石和钻石的款式。与此同时，顾客日渐关注 可持续发展，本地珠宝商须更有效地宣传其可持续发展举 措，以满足消费者的需求。 JNA：未来有何挑战？ 陈：全球经济持续不稳定将继续拖累消费情绪。中国香港整 体经济难免受中国內地经济疲弱的影响，国内经济回复尚 需时日，预计短期内本地珠宝商仍面临持续的挑战。不过， 我对珠宝业前景保持乐观，因为香港地区的珠宝商适应力 强、应变能力高，加上这里仍拥有国际贸易地位优势。相信 当中国内地经济复苏，本地市场会紧随回暖。 JNA：2025年中国香港珠宝业的发展有何亮点? 陈：拓展新兴市场有助缓解目前的困境。我们须积极发掘新 兴市场的潜在商机，特别是东南亚的印度尼西亚、菲律宾和 越南，以及中东的沙特阿拉伯。这些国家的经济发展迅速， 增长强劲，前景广阔。珠宝商也要加强产品的设计、质量和 工艺。
