He emphasized the significance of industry collaboration in strategizing and exchanging ideas. Mr. YE Zhibin shared insights from GAC's research, noting that colored gemstones are increasingly popular among individuals aged 30 to 40, with a growing trend among those over 40 due to the declining popularity of natural diamonds. He reported that the colored gemstone market in China grew by 11%, with the total value of the Chinese gem and jewelry market reaching 820 billion yuan in 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Colored gemstones accounted for 310 billion yuan, representing 3.8% of the total market. He predicted significant growth potential, expecting a 20% to 50% increase in the future.

Additionally, Mr. Chang Hatta, a jewelry expert from Hatta Fine Jewelry, shared plans to create a university campus and a museum. This initiative aims to benefit millions of students, who will play a crucial role in developing new talent for the gem and jewelry industry. This project aims to drive the industry's growth, and standardized colored gemstone pricing will also build confidence in the industry.
