This design is among the more than 1,400 entries received to date for the first-ever Thailand International Jewelry Awards.

Bangkok, Thailand--The first-ever Thailand International Jewelry Awards (TIJA) will take a bow early next year at the 43rd Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair (BGJF).

TIJA is intended to be a major international jewelry design contest, offering traders, enthusiasts and fair attendees the opportunity to view the latest in avant-garde, contemporary and classical designs.

It is also meant to boost Thailand's stature as one of the world's leading design centers as well as contribute to the development of Thailand's burgeoning gems and jewelry industry, organizers said in a media release.

To date, more than 1,400 entries have been received for the contest, hailing from Thailand as well as from countries including Brazil, Japan, India, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

From the entries, an expert panel hand-picked 60 sets of exceptional jewelry designs to be unveiled at the BGJF. The designs will be presented under the theme "Creative of the World."

"A good design has always effectively played a crucial part in enticing buyers in any economic condition, so we think TIJA will go a long way in enhancing the market, especially at this testing time," BGJF Chief Executive Somchai Phornchindarak said in the release.

The fair will be held from Feb. 25-March 1 at Bangkok's Impact Challenger exhibition center. Some 30,000 visitors are expected to attend.
