AME Gallery auctions off five stunning pieces of jewellery worth over HK$80,000 for Hong Kong charities

Hong Kong, 6 August 2012, not just one but FIVE Hong Kong charities will benefit from an online auction called JEWELS 4 GOOD organised by AME Gallery, which specializes in artisan contemporary jewellery. Five exquisite pieces, including 18k gold and black diamond drop earrings, designed by five European and Asian artists have been selected by the Gallery to be part of the auction. The auction will run from 1 September until 15 September 2012 and will be held on a dedicated website - jewels4good.ame-gallery.com

The pieces are valued at a total of HK$81,500 with 100% of the proceeds going to five different charities chosen by the designers.   The auction coincides with the 1^st anniversary of AME Gallery which will contribute a further 10% of their sales during September 2012 of the designers’ entire portfolios to the charities.

The designers and their chosen charities are:   

Tricia Tang (Hong Kong) : Art in Hospital

Karolina Bik (Poland) : Hong Kong Dog Rescue

Mei Lee (Taiwan / Belgium) : The Jane Goodall Institute

MOYA (Netherland) : Music for the Growing Mind

Salima Thakker (Belgium) : Mother’s Choice

Each item of jewellery will have a starting bid price of 30% of the retail price with bid increments between HK$350 and HK$1800. The jewellery ranges in value from HK$6,000 to HK$30,000 with starting bids from HK$2,000 giving everyone an opportunity to take part.

Anna Cheng, owner of AME Gallery said: “I strongly believe in giving back to the Hong Kong community so I started JEWELS 4 GOOD a few months ago auctioning off one piece per month supporting different charities. But for my one year anniversary I wanted to do something very special by offering five unique pieces. These are one of a kind items, ranging from earrings to necklaces, that will bring great pleasure to their owners in more ways than one as the wearers will know that they have helped a local charity too.”

The highest bidders will be revealed on 16 September, on AME Gallery’s website and the special JEWELS 4 GOOD  Facebook page. The jewellery will be presented to the winning bidders at AME Gallery’s 1^st anniversary party on 19 September 2012. Cheques for the charities will also be presented.
