Once again, Filipinos have proven themselves worthy of world-class recognition! Three designers from Hoseki, one of the country’s premiere jewelry salons, garnered top awards at the prestigious Sixth International South Sea Pearl Jewellery Design Competition in Hong Kong. The competition was organized by the South Sea Pearl Consortium and aims to highlight the beauty and uniqueness of the South Sea Pearl while recognizing design talent from all over the world. Hoseki founder Faico’s “Fantasie Necklace,” Hoseki young designer Knoi Esmane’s “Phoenix Rising,” and Faico’s talented son Ivan Co’s “Force Bangle” beat out 700 international entries. Hoseki has consistently been winning South Sea Pearl design competitions since 1998. Congratulations to the ultra-creative and hardworking Hoseki team! May your masterpieces continue to bring glory to the Philippines!
