YIWU, China, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. As a long-standing popular export category from Yiwu to overseas markets, accessories have performed exceptionally well this year. According to Yiwugo’s big data analysis, keywords like “bracelets” have topped the platform’s hot search terms over the past two months, with silver jewelry and pearl accessories garnering the most attention.

Ms. Xu Yuanyuan, who has been in the silver jewelry export business for over ten years, has seen great success both online and offline internationally. Her company’s design team is highly creative, frequently launching bestsellers. In response to domestic demand, Xu opened a new store in March this year, named Apotie Jewelry, specializing in original pure silver pieces.

Back in 2021, the company designed a Heart Gesture Ring, showcasing their unique ability to merge fashion and sentiment in jewelry design. Within just one month of its launch, a single store sold over 10,000 pieces. The design was so popular that it sparked imitations in various materials, and to this day, the ring maintains high sales figures.

Xu explains that the chief design team plans its new product development for the entire year at the beginning of each year. Each month, they release about 100 to 200 new designs. Apotie Jewelry entered its product planning phase since December 2023 and by the time it opened in March 2024, there were over 1,000 pieces on display and has since maintained a monthly release of over 100 new items. Within just over three months of operation, the sales exceeded 500,000 yuan, with a high customer acquisition rate driven by the Yiwugo platform. The repeat purchase rate surpassed 47%, quickly propelling the company to success.

Ms. Wu Yunfang, who has been in the pearl jewelry industry for 14 years, runs the Fang’s Jewelry, which has been a gold member of Yiwugo for 12 years. In recent years, Wu has noticed a sharp rise in the popularity of pearl jewelry in both domestic and international markets. Not only do middle-aged women love pearls, but younger women have also started embracing pearl accessories.

Pearls, as a natural form of jewelry, often require manual assembly, including stringing and knotting. Foreign buyers frequently comment, “When we see handmade pearl jewelry, we think of Fang’s craftsmanship.” With over a decade of experience in training artisans, Fang’s Jewelry is known for its intricate yet soft craftsmanship, providing both elegance and comfort for customers. This attention to detail is one of the reasons for their high customer retention.

Fang’s Jewelry has a stable supply base for shell pearls, ensuring consistent quality and high luster. Wu’s years of industry experience have honed her excellent color-matching skills, particularly with uniquely shaped nucleated pearls, often leading to striking designs.

There was once a European client who struggled to find a necklace to match his desired look because of the asymmetrical shape of the nucleated pearls he wanted — one end sharp and the other round. After visiting multiple shops without success, he found Wu, who quickly crafted a sample necklace, which led to an immediate order and a lasting partnership.

European customers are known to favor sophisticated shades of gray, and in 2018, amid a market dominated by black and white pearls, Wu captured the hearts of many foreign buyers by introducing pearls in varying shades of gray. It’s common for individual customers to purchase over 200,000 pieces of a single design in a month.

While European markets have traditionally favored gray tones, Wu Yunfang and her team have also broken into this aesthetic with bold combinations like “purple light + white” and “blue + orange”, demonstrating their design prowess. Monthly sales for these standout pieces often reach hundreds of thousands.

Thanks to Yiwugo’s global promotion, many new customers have discovered Fang’s Jewelry through the platform. Most first-time buyers become repeat customers after their initial trial orders. Currently, Wu’s daughter has also begun assisting her in managing the business, and with the new generation’s involvement, the company is poised for a bright future.

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from www.chinadailyasia.com:

Asian media members are an important force for promoting the progress of civilization in the region and serve as a crucial bridge in cultural exchanges, said China Daily’s publisher and editor-in-chief.

Qu Yingpu made the remarks at the Forum on Cultural Heritage Conservation in Malaysia on Thursday.

Qu called on the industry to take responsibility for protecting cultural heritages and to collaborate in bringing down barriers for better collective progress.

Themed “Shared Heritage, Shared Future”, the forum was held by China Daily, and newspaper alliance Asia News Network, with the think tank KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific as a co-organizer.

“We should encourage more people to become involved in the protection of our cultural heritage. We should make our own contribution to the brilliance of Asian civilization in a new era,” Qu said.

Qu highlighted the importance of appreciating and preserving the cultural and natural treasures in Asia, a cradle of human civilization that is home to three ancient civilizations — Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and China – and has cultivated numerous vital achievements in human history.

“We have to work together to promote the exchange and mutual learning of Asian cultural heritage,” said Christina Yeo Ken Yin, undersecretary of the International Relations Division in Culture at Malaysia’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture.

In addition to cooperation programs in cultural heritage with countries such as China, Thailand, Brunei, Singapore and Indonesia, Yeo said Malaysia is preparing to join the Alliance for Cultural Heritage in Asia — an intergovernmental platform initiated by China to promote regional cooperation in preserving regional cultural heritage.

“Civilization exchanges and mutual learning form an important drive for human progress and global peace and development,” said Chang Shan, counselor of the Chinese embassy in Malaysia.

With Asia being an important cradle of human civilization, China and countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are linked by mountains and rivers and share historical bonds, which have led to close people-to-people exchanges, said Chang.

Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, Chang said the two countries’ cooperation in cultural heritage protection will continue to play an important role in bilateral exchanges.

Mahfuz Anam, chairman of Asia News Network and editor and publisher of Bangladesh’s The Daily Star, said cultures speak louder than languages and act as effective communicators among different people.

He urged people, particularly journalists, to devote more energy to learning and comprehending different cultural heritages to reduce misunderstandings in a world with more conflicts and uncertainties.

Ronald Gan, president of Persatuan Peranakan Baba Nyonya Malaysia, said the Baba and Nyonya community is a typical example of cultural exchanges between China and Malaysia, with blended elements in cuisine, attire and architecture.

“We are, after all, the descendants of the wise Chinese who migrated to Nanyang with the values of inclusiveness and mutual benefit,” said Gan, who has been organizing a Wangchuan ceremony in Melaka.

The ceremony, jointly nominated by China and Malaysia, was added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list in 2020.

As climate change can affect cultural heritage sites, Michael Yeoh, president of KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific, said countries in the region should enhance public, private and people partnerships to protect the environment.

Upholding the 5Ps — planet, people, prosperity, partnership and peace — will ensure a more sustainable future, said Yeoh.

A panel discussion on “Transnational Cooperation for the Conservation of Shared Cultural Landscapes in Asia” was also held during the forum, with experts from across the region exchanging views on future strategies for preserving cultural heritage and landscapes.

After the panel discussion, performers from Yunnan province in Southwest China presented the Huayao Dance, which originates from the Huayao branch of the Yi ethnic group in the northern mountainous area of Shiping county, Honghe prefecture.
