消费者对可持续发展的期望，令珠宝行业格局急速变化，论坛将前瞻当中推动市场未来的因素。演讲嘉宾将基于新兴消费者研究、人口结构变化和技术创新，探讨以价值观为本的购买行为，如何从小众转变为主流。
嘉宾们还将讲解消费行为变化的早期信号，让珠宝企业不但能够应对未来的可持续发展需求，还能主动塑造这些需求，在创造竞争优势的同时推动积极的影响。与会者将了解如何通过前瞻性的可持续发展策略来确保企业的未来发展，而非仅被动地应对合规要求。
讨论议题：
- 「可持续奢华」的定义将如何演变？除了当前的可持续发展认证外，消费者未来将要求珠宝品牌提出哪些新的凭证？
- 在帮助消费者验证可持续发展声明方面，技术将发挥什么作用？珠宝企业如何为采取更高透明度的供应链做好准备？
- 新一代消费者既重视其购买行为对环境和社会的影响，也重视产品的质量和设计。珠宝品牌现在应实施哪些策略，从而与他们建立有意义的联系？

Is metal jewellery having its Gen Z moment? Our expert panel examines how digital natives perceive metal jewellery through their unique definitions of luxury and value. Beyond wealth symbolism, younger consumers are drawn to gold, platinum, silver and other metal accessories for self-expression and aesthetic versatility.
Our panellists will investigate whether this appeal transcends demographics or remains strongest in cultures where precious metals represent generational wealth and heritage. The discussion will address design innovation, personalisation opportunities and how Gen Z’s quest for uniqueness intersects with their responsiveness to trends and pop culture influences.
This session will answer the following questions:
- What role does design and personalisation play in attracting Gen Z consumers to metal jewellery across different price points?
- Which entry-level products are most effective in introducing Gen Z consumers to the broader precious metal jewellery category?
- How do cultural differences impact Gen Z’s perception and consumption patterns across the spectrum of metal jewellery – from precious to affordable – in global markets?

贵金属珠宝是否越来越受到Z世代的青睐？论坛嘉宾将探讨这自小与数码科技为伴的一代，如何定义奢华和价值，又如何看待贵金属珠宝。年轻消费者多以黄金、铂金、白银和其他金属首饰来表达自我和独特的审美观，而不单视之为财富的象征。
演讲嘉宾将讨论Z世代对金属珠宝的喜爱是否全球皆然，还是在传统视贵金属为家族财富和传承象征的市场，需求更烈。论坛除了探讨设计创新和珠宝个性化外，也会剖析Z世代对独特性的追求，以及时尚潮流和流行文化的影响，如何重塑市场新机遇。
讨论议题：
- 设计和个性化，对吸引Z世代购买不同价位的金属珠宝有何重要性？
- 哪些入门级产品，能有效地扩展Z世代的贵金属珠宝市场？
- 在全球市场中，文化差异如何影响Z世代对不同价位的金属珠宝的看法和消费模式？

The discussion will address design innovation, personalisation opportunities and how Gen Z’s quest for uniqueness intersects with their responsiveness to trends and pop culture influences.
This session will answer the following questions:
- What role does design and personalisation play in attracting Gen Z consumers to metal jewellery across different price points?
- Which entry-level products are most effective in introducing Gen Z consumers to the broader precious metal jewellery category?
- How do cultural differences impact Gen Z’s perception and consumption patterns across the spectrum of metal jewellery – from precious to affordable – in global markets?

貴金屬珠寶是否越來越受到Z世代的青睞？論壇嘉賓將探討這自小與數碼科技為伴的一代，如何定義奢華和價值，又如何看待貴金屬珠寶。年輕消費者多以黃金、鉑金、白銀和其他金屬首飾來表達自我和獨特的審美觀，而不單視之為財富的象徵。
演講嘉賓將討論Z世代對金屬珠寶的喜愛是否全球皆然，還是在傳統視貴金屬為家族財富和傳承象徵的市場，需求更烈。論壇除了探討設計創新和珠寶個性化外，也會剖析Z世代對獨特性的追求，以及時尚潮流和流行文化的影響，如何重塑市場新機遇。
討論議題：
- 設計和個性化，對吸引Z世代購買不同價位的金屬珠寶有何重要性？
- 哪些入門級產品，最能有效地擴展Z世代的貴金屬珠寶市場？
- 在全球市場中，文化差異如何影響Z世代對不同價位的金屬珠寶的看法和消費模式？
