Research & Development
 
In the worldwide market, quality and brand are one of the successful factors of Hong Kong’s jewelry products. Yet the product information such as the composition and the origin are articulated in different ways. What’s more is that the description of the product causes the problem of misleading and transparency. Hence, the “Right to be Informed” and the “Right to choose” of customers would be damaged. Since 2004, Hong Kong’s jewelry industry has been concerned about product traceability and the expression of product information. They proactively introduced the use of two dimensional barcodes, which formulates the present Global Jewelry Identity (so-called the Global J-ID Management Label Scheme).
For consumer, this Scheme enables them to determine the place is selling genuine products and that the retailer is authorized in different points of sales environment. Due to this transparency, consumers are more aware of the product information and become more confident in the buying process. Moreover, it helps corporate stop counterfeit items and enhance the trust of jewelry brands. It also acts as a reliable channel to standardize specification terms of products and protect the supply chain in the brand and manufacturing.
In the long run, the Global J-ID brings win-win results to both consumers and the industry. It establishes and enhances the traceability of jewelry products. In doing so, it is sure to strengthen the reputation of Hong Kong as a place of selling genuine products.
1. May 2011 J-ID Management Board director, Mr Aaron Shum met with Secretary-General (Testing and Certification) of Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification (HKCTC), Mr John Hung and discuss about the future development routine, Mr John Hung supported Mr Aaron Shum’s suggestion to include all certificates which are certified by Laboratories under HOKLAS, into the J-ID system, in order to increase recognition and usage in the market. HKCTC encouraged more SMEs participants to the scheme.
|
2. HKPC suggested to include cloud technology into the enhancement scheme of J-ID, resolving future concern on massive data storage as well as information security.
|
3. Director of Hong Kong Jewelry Alliance, Mr Banky Lau has united alliance members with more than 30 jewelry retail shops to pilot run the J-ID scheme.
