Hong Kong International Jewelry Manufacturers’ Show held from 29 Nov to 2 Dec 2012 concludes on a high note. The Show is well received and garners exhibitors from China, Japan, Israel, Thailand, India, Singapore, Belgium and Korea, in addition to local exhibitors, making up a total of 872 booths. During the 4 days’ show, the number of visitors surges 15% compared with the year before, the number of mainland buyers even boosts 30%, marking a new record in recent years.
Every year, our November Show is the last merchandising chance for South East Asia and Mainland buyers before Christmas and New Year. As most of the exhibitors are jewelry manufacturers and major jewelry brands’ suppliers, they will sell their products in special price or deliberately display unique designs to attract buyers and promote their new releases. The Show is classified into zones such as gem, pearl, diamond, fine jewelry and watch & clock. This year, Thailand Pavilion is added to the Show to showcase a large quantity of rubies, sapphires and emeralds to meet the increasing demand.
