JWA25 Finalist – Tech for a Sustainable Future

Nanjing Baojie Technology Co Ltd

Bojem Jewelry, a pioneering Chinese jewellery brand of Nanjing Baojie Technology Co Ltd, is committed to blending artistic design with technological innovation. Founded with the vision of making fine jewellery more accessible and sustainable, Bojem specialises in coloured gemstones and jadeite, offering high-quality, original designs that celebrate individuality and craftsmanship.

Headquartered in Nanjing, China, Bojem has established a strong presence both online and offline. The company operates across major e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.com, while also maintaining flagship stores in key cities. With a customer-centric approach, Bojem integrates advanced technologies – including AI-driven marketing tools, smart manufacturing systems and digital design platforms – into its operations to enhance efficiency, reduce waste and deliver personalised experiences.

Sustainability lies at the core of Bojem’s business philosophy. During the 2024 holiday season, AI-generated campaigns replaced traditional large-scale advertising, significantly reducing material usage and energy consumption while greatly improving marketing resource efficiency. AI-powered sales assistants provided personalised product recommendations based on individual customer preferences, resulting in a 10% increase in average order value and a 7.5% rise in repeat purchase rate – effectively minimising resource waste.

The company increased its procurement of sustainably sourced materials by 15% year-over-year, advancing the greening of its supply chain. The waste recycling system also delivered notable results: Metal scrap reuse reached 20%, while gemstone fragment reutilisation stood at 7.9%, leading to a 9.6% reduction in demand for newly mined resources.

Following the implementation of Bojem’s jewellery take-back programme, the volume of returned items increased significantly – up by 200% year-over-year in 2024. Services such as trade-ins and refurbishment extended the average product lifespan by two years, effectively contributing to sustainable development within the jewellery industry.
