What the judges have to say:
Goldendew is one of Korea’s leading jewellery retailers and premium bridal jewellery brands. In addition to achieving long-term success, Goldendew lives up to its potential as a catalyst for industry growth, initiating broader sector initiatives such as Korea’s “First Jewellery Day.” It has also been selected in the last two years as Korea’s premium jewellery brand by a leading fashion business journal. The retailer also values and demonstrates social consciousness. This is evident in its efforts to give back to society. One of its charity events was “LYA LOVE,” which won the support of Lee Young-ae, one of Korea’s most popular stars. The fundraiser benefitted the Korean National Federation of UNESCO Clubs & Associations for the education of underprivileged children, among others.
