More than 400 types of precious stones and minerals from all over the world, including jade, emeralds and lapis lazuli are displayed at the Dong Xing Luxury Stone Beijing Exhibition Venue in Beijing, Oct. 14, 2014. [China.org.cn] |
A venue to host exhibitions of precious and semi-precious stones and crystals, as well as arts and crafts made with them, opened Tuesday in Beijing.
The Dong Xing Luxury Stone Beijing Exhibition Venue, located in Xiedao Holiday Village Resort, has over 400 types of precious and semi-precious stones from all over the world, including jade, emeralds and lapis lazuli, displayed in its 3,000-square-meter exhibition space.
Dong Xing Group, a multi-billion Fujian province-based enterprise, works with the production and processing of precious stone and mineral materials, jade carving, jewlery production and real estate. The company is also creating a creative cultural industry chain.
Dong Xing Group was the first to raise the concept of "Luxury Stones," which is aimed to design arts, handicrafts and decorative construction materials incorporating precious and semi-precious stones and crystals and provide products and services for villas, star-rated hotels and high-end real estate properties.
Cai Xiaoguo, the vice president of Dong Xing Group, said the company will also establish precious stone exhibition venues in Chengdu and Xiamen and will build more than 50 franchise stores in various cities, including Shanghai. The group has also opened an exhibition venue in Abu Dhabi.

The opening of the Beijing venue has also attracted many designers. Cai said this is the beginning of a new industry chain which Dong Xing Group wants to initiate. After the global financial crisis of 2008, Dong Xiong started to collaborate with designers and artists to transform itself into a creative cultural enterprise.
The opening ceremony for the exhibition space also featured the first "Luxury Stones" forum and a national design contest which asked designers to apply their works to architectural and decorative stone products.
