The sample of two hundred consumers was determined by convenience sampling, and the critical informant was one entrepreneur. A questionnaire, quality-verified by experts, was employed for the field survey of customer needs. The results of this step were analyzed by using of percentage, mean and standard deviation. The jewelry style was designed to correspond to the results of the customer needs survey, and then the jewelry sketch design was selected for three gems by jewelry specialists through a five-point rating scale. The results that were approved by the experts were analyzed by using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation. The research found that the Lantern of soul sketch design that was derived from the Asian Affairs concept had the highest average score. There is one collection of earring types that had three pieces. These Indian Marsh Fleabane silk-dyeing earrings were similar to a Chinese lantern or Teng-Lang. The concept behind these earrings came from the belief of Chinese people. They believe that the lantern is an auspicious cultural charm that creates luck in life, and the lantern’s light can guide the way in the dark. The jewelry pieces consist of auspicious Chinese characters, which mean prosperity, happiness and fortune. To extend the lifespan and protect this jewelry, the researchers used a coating technique by spraying a waterproof coating over it.
