Pieces inspired by love for family members and friends, as well as wedding jewellery dominate the event. This includes the third collection by renowned designer Wkyidd Song, who said it's inspired by life's natural progression.
"A man buys a certain jewellery for his girlfriend and then... to an engagement ring and then finally, the wedding collection or wedding jewellery," said fashion designer Wkyidd Song from Wk Design.
