JNA September/ October 2025

PERSPECTIVE 精辟视野 JNA September/October 2025 | 33 competition from Southeast Asia. HKJJA-led initiatives transformed the city from an outsourcing base to a designdriven hub. Collaborations gave birth to the Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition and the Taiwan-Hong Kong Jadeite Jewellery Design Competition, elevating Hong Kong as a centre of creative excellence and a global platform for local talents to shine. HKJJA also acquired Hong Kong Jewellery Magazine to provide industry updates and brand exposure to trade members. By the 2000s, HKJJA’s role became pivotal in connecting Hong Kong with the world. The association leveraged Closer Economic Partnership Arrangements (CEPA) and China’s market liberalisation, leading trade delegations across mainland cities while expanding Hong Kong jewellers’ global presence through trade show participations. Members benefited from exposure in major fairs in Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and the US. The innovation phase from the 2010s onwards was driven by technology, talent and transparency. HKJJA launched its signature METS – Machinery, Equipment, Technology & Supplies for the Hong Kong Jewellery & Watch Industry in 2014 to promote technological advancement and established a JJA Junior Committee to nurture the next generation of leaders. These milestones underscored a commitment to ensuring that Hong Kong keeps pace with global shifts in manufacturing, digitalisation and consumer expectations. “Hong Kong’s strength has always been agility. We connect the East with the West, tradition with modernity. By helping members sharpen their design identity while mastering digital commerce, we create pathways for them to thrive in highly competitive markets,” said HKJJA. Innovation with purpose The Hong Kong jewellery industry is poised for significant growth opportunities in the coming decade. Ongoing expansion in ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and mainland markets, coupled with digital and e-commerce advancements, could eliminate geographical barriers to trade. Nonetheless, HKJJA said the industry faces difficulties due to macro uncertainties, international competition and high production costs. Looking ahead, HKJJA is committed to sustainable practices, digitalisation and mentoring next-generation jewellers to lead Hong Kong’s jewellery trade towards a brighter future. “HKJJA will continue to strengthen connections between Hong Kong jewellers and key markets in Italy and ASEAN as well as nurture talents through our JJA Junior Committee,” said HKJJA. “We remain an essential global bridge for Hong Kong jewellers, providing steadfast support to our members.” 宝展,再于2003年在维琴察珠宝展设立首个独立香港展馆, 每个里程碑不仅标志着会员企业的突破,更让中国香港制 造的珠宝在全球舞台上大放异彩。” 在六十年的历程中,HKJJA与业界共同经历了多次重大 考验,包括20世纪70年代的油价飙升、1997年亚洲金融风 暴、2003年非典疫情,以及2008年全球金融海啸。在这些动 荡的年代,商会始终竭力协助会员迎难而上。 期间,中国香港的珠宝行业也持续蛻变,逐渐从传统工艺 和原始设备制造商(OEM)转向更现代、以技术驱动的模式。 HKJJA实施了前瞻性举措,推出计算机辅助设计/计算 机辅助制造(CAD/CAM)、3D打印、人工智能驱动设计和智能 零售等培训计划。商会还推动本地企业为原创设计制造商 (ODM)和自有品牌制造商(OBM),同时强调负责任的采购和 透明度。 HKJJA表示:“我们深知行业团结创新的精神是面对逆 境的最强盾牌。通过整合资源、开拓海外市场新路径,让本 地珠宝业在风雨中携手迎向挑战,不断成长。” 四个发展阶段 HKJJA的六十年发展可分成四个关键阶段。第一阶段 是从20世纪60年代到80年代,当时假冒玉石对本港珠宝业 的声誉构成威胁。因此,商会的首要任务是通过制定质量标 准、引入宝石鉴定服务,以及维护客户信任,来建立行业标 准与信誉。 20世纪80年代至90年代是扩张期,香港地区珠宝业起 飞,却面对东南亚低成本竞争的隐忧,商会引导业界从代工 基地转型为设计枢纽,合作举措包括香港珠宝设计大赛和 台港翡翠首饰设计大赛,提升了香港作为创意卓越中心的 地位,并为本地人才提供了全球展示平台。HKJJA还收购了 《香港珠宝》杂志,为会员提供行业动态和品牌曝光机会。 进入21世纪后,HKJJA在连接香港与世界方面发挥了关 键作用。商会把握《更紧密经贸关系安排》(CEPA)和中国市 场开放政策带来新机遇,在这段期间筹组多个考察团走访 内地城市,并通过参与国际展会扩大中国香港珠宝商的环 球影响力。会员企业得以在意大利、迪拜、泰国和美国等地 的主要展会中亮相。 自2010年代起,创新阶段由技术、人才与透明度共同驱 动。HKJJA于2014年独立筹办香港珠宝钟表工业科技及用 品展览会(METS),提升业界设计及生产技术层面,并成立菁 英委员会培育新一代业者。 这些里程碑彰显了HKJJA倾力与全球制造业、数字化转 型及消费者期望变化保持同步的承诺。HKJJA说:“香港地 区的优势一直在于灵活性。我们连接东西方,贯穿传统与现 代。通过帮助会员提升设计辨识度并掌握数字商业,我们为 他们在高度竞争的市场中蓬勃发展开辟了道路。” 极具意义的创新 中国香港珠宝业在未来十年的机遇显著。东盟(东南亚 国家联盟)和内地市场的持续增长,加上数字化和电商的腾 飞发展,将进一步打破地域限制。然而,HKJJA指出,全球经 济波动、国际竞争加剧,以及生产成本上升,均为业界带来 严峻挑战。 展望未来,HKJJA在推行可持续实践、数字化转型上不 遗余力,且通过培养新一代珠宝业者,引领中国香港珠宝 业迈向更加光明的前景。HKJJA说:“商会的愿景是深化本 地与国际业界的连结,尤其加强与意大利、东盟等市场的合 作,并透过菁英委员会培育新血。商会将继续担当业界‘全 球桥梁’的角色,为会员提供坚定不移的支持。” 六十年来,香港珠宝玉石厂商会(HKJJA)始终站在 快速发展的珠宝业前沿,带领本地珠宝商应对时 代变迁与不确定性,同时巩固中国香港在全球珠 宝贸易中的重要地位。 HKJJA表示:“我们见证了行业每个关键时刻。从1968年 筹办首届玉石珠宝展,到1969年率领珠宝商参加纽约JA珠
