“We have been in the business for 24 years. The stones we have are much harder to find and everything we design is unique,” he said.

Siang Hoa Jewellery from Singapore was proud to display its RM2.4mil purse adorned with black and white diamonds and white gold to resemble zebra prints.

Its chief executive officer, Victor Lee, said 50 employees worked on it.

“We took about half a year to complete it and zebra prints are very fashionable nowadays. Moreover, we wanted to make something that was unique.

“So anyone who buys the purse would be the only one to own it,” he said. HW Gift Gallery Sdn Bhd, which was participating at the event for the first time would be displaying its elegant three dimensional gold art.

Consultant Jevin Low said they handcrafted classic creations like the golden roses, golden tigers and even religious art pieces.

“The products are all made in Taiwan from gold. Some of it takes months to make because of the designs and everything is handcrafted,” he said.

He also said the event was a great way to promote their product.

The exhibition opens from 11am to 6pm and ends tomorrow.
