Hong Kong-based Goldenage International Limited manufactures and supplies high-quality jewellery findings for the global market, from small jewellery manufacturers and retailers to large jewellers and jewellery retail chain stores in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Australasia with high market penetration.
In 2018 so far, the company has recorded a double-digit growth of its findings business compared to the same period in 2017, said Andrew Cochineas, CEO of its mother company Pallion. Market demand from Asia continues to be very strong while a slight slow-down has been acknowledged from the European market.
As more and more jewellery houses are concentrating on what they excel at jewellery design and distribution, and leave their findings needs to experts like Goldenage, findings business is a growth area in the jewellery market for years to come. “It [findings business] is and remains our speciality,” Cochineas told Hong Kong Jewellery. He attributes Goldenage’s satisfactory findings business this year to “quality, service, reliability and stock”.
Expanded to custom jewellery manufacturing in 2016 based on the facilities in Hong Kong and mainland China, Goldenage also offers a full production service including 3D CAD from customers’ hand sketches and concepts, rapid 3D prototyping, casting, polishing, setting, etc. Cochineas revealed that demand for custom jewellery manufacturing has been overwhelming over the last three years, and the company has significantly increased the size of its custom jewellery team in Hong Kong.
According to him, sustained demand for custom jewellery is all part of the resurgence in what people traditionally associate with jewellery – preciousness and uniqueness. By leveraging Goldenage’s small-quantity high-quality custom jewellery services, jewellers can keep their stock levels to minimum whilst producing what their clients want.
Bullion gold is the core business for Pallion in Australia. Its ABC Bullion product has been accredited by the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) to trade gold in China, the world’s largest gold market. Pallion is one of the only seven international companies to receive this accreditation and also Australia’s only independent refinery accredited by both the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and SGE. Cochineas said Goldenage and Pallion aim to support clients in whatever way they want and he believes the outlook of company development is positive.
