Three Filipino jewelry designers from Hoseki
garnered top awards at the prestigious Sixth International South
Sea Pearl Jewelry Design Competition in Hong Kong.
The annual competition is 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 won over 700 entries from
all over the world. The awards ceremony, sponsored by the Hong
Kong Trade Development Council, was held at the Hong Kong
Convention Center.
Hoseki has consistently been winning South Sea Pearl design
competitions since 1998. Faico, an active member of the Guild of
Philippine Jewelers, has not only won the South Sea Pearl Design
Competition three times, but was also one of the 17
international designers to be included in White Magic, a 2005
exhibit organized by the South Sea Pearl Consortium.
