Following years of resounding success and ever-increasing demand for exhibition space, Hong Kong International Jewellery Show has gained much support from the industry and is in great demand for exhibition space. Starting from 2014, Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will transform into two shows at two venues to ensure sufficient space for further development and to solidify its leading role in exhibition of its kind. The HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will feature finished jewellery products in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 5-9 March 2014; while the HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show will be staged as a specialised trade platform for loose stones and raw materials in the AsiaWorld-Expo from 3-7 March 2014.
With the new arrangement of “2 shows 2 venues”, a record of more than 3,700 exhibitors from 50 countries and regions are expected in 2014 to showcase a greater variety of finished jewellery, diamonds, precious gemstones and pearls under the two specialized platforms which will maximize exhibitors’ exposure and buyers’ sourcing opportunities. With the increased exhibition space, the number of workers required for the construction is estimated to be over 7,500 which are highest-ever amongst all HKTDC fairs.
More than 130 Indian exhibitors will showcase their latest jewellery products and series. The HKTDC has also organized buying missions from Australia, India, Japan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the United States to maximize trading opportunities for exhibitors and buyers.
