A 24-c gold design entitled Wings of Love has won the top prize at this year's Auditions Gold Jewelry Design Competition.

Designer Huang Yingya picked up the accolade at the event, which was held in the Chinese capital Beijing and carried the theme of 'Live Love Without Limits', CCTV International reports.

Her piece, which was submitted along with more than 700 other items produced by nearly 400 designers from across the country, received praise from a number of judges at the event.

"We are all excited [because] gold is difficult to design," member of the judging panel Yip Kam Tim told the news source.

And Ms Yingya described her win as a "big surprise," noting that the recognition for her work was also "very encouraging".

Elsewhere in the jewellery industry, the latest designs are currently being showcased at a four-day exhibition in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, the Saudi Gazette reports.
