Fair at a Glance

 

The HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show is one of the world's top three jewellery events and an excellent venue at which to advance business in this shining industry. The show celebrates its 30th edition in 2013 by returning to its regular position in the trade event calendar, running from 5-9 March.
Brilliant business
The show builds on its growing reputation for quantity as well as quality – the 2012 edition featured a record-breaking more than 3,100 exhibitors from 48 countries and regions. Group pavilions at the show enable countries and trade organisations to combine forces, allowing for even greater opportunities to make contacts and to find out more about what's shaping contemporary designs. The increase in scope and range of items on show attracted more than 38,000 buyers from 143 countries and regions, keen to source new jewellery items and see for themselves the trends and styles influencing this glittering industry.

Precious links
Themed zones cover key industry segments to ensure efficient connection of buyers with exhibitors.

The Hall of Fame is a suitably stylish venue for an elite selection of international jewellery brands that are sparkle with the quality of their designs and craftsmanship.

Hall of Extraordinary presents exceptional high-end creations, both classic and contemporary, crafted using the finest stones, all displayed in a suitably discreet setting.

World of Glamour offers Hong Kong-based exhibitors a selection of custom-designed booths in a high-traffic location.

Antique & Vintage Jewellery Galleria is a graceful showcase for valuable and unusual designs from yesteryear.

Hall of Nature is designed for negotiations over rare pieces of loose diamonds, precious stones, South Sea pearls and Tahiti pearls.

Other specialised zones include:
  • Designer Galleria for the latest jewellery trends
  • Exclusive Showroom for private business discussions
  • Hall of Jade Jewellery for modern and classic jade jewellery
  • Hall of Time for distinctive and quality timepieces
  • Hall of Chic for silver and fine jewellery
On show
A number of zones host parades during the show period, giving exhibitors the opportunity to expand the visibility of their names and offerings. Models circulate among buyers during these parades, enabling buyers to get a close-up view of the jewellery and watches on display.

Staying on trend
Through its series of seminars delivered by industry experts, the show provides a fantastic platform to gauge current trends and gather the latest market intelligence. Participants can also see the hottest creative ideas as the winning designs from the 14th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition will be displayed throughout the show period.

Jewellery centre
Hong Kong is the world's fourth largest exporter of fine jewellery and pearls and is a long-established international centre for the jewellery business. The city's focal position in the global industry is boosted by its proximity to the vast Chinese mainland market with its fast-growing demand for fine jewellery. Strong trade links with the leading export destination of India, another thriving market, add to Hong Kong's position as a leading Asian jewellery hub.

Central setting
The show takes place at the convenient downtown location of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, which is close to hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and which benefits from easy and excellent transport links to all parts of the city, including the airport.

COMMENTS from exhibitors and buyers

Exhibitors' comments
“We specialise in antique and estate jewellery – what we call ‘underrated art forms'. Every single piece we sell is unique and our clients are collectors from all over the world who appreciate this type of item. This is our first time at this show, but we have done business in Hong Kong before and have always been very successful. We have already sold a number of pieces even on the first day of the show. We've seen a lot of customers from Chinese mainland. The show is very well organised and we hope to return next year.”
Tracey Zebrak, Owner, Zebrak, UK

“We've been attending this show for the past five years. We use this show to a great extent to introduce our new designs to our regular customers, some of whom we first encountered at this show. We can also find new buyers – for example, we have seen quite a few visitors from Russia, and we would like to expand there. The service and facilities at this event are good. It attracts many customers from all over the globe – it is a hub of the industry.”
Sachin Gurav, Business Development Manager, Patdiam Jewellery Pvt Ltd., India

“This is our third time to take part in this show – it gives us a good opportunity to let more buyers know about our products. This year, we are promoting our Swing diamond jewellery which is made by our patented twinkle-setting technology. We've met buyers coming from large companies in the US and Europe. Many buyers have shown interests in our new collection. We've received orders here. The management and services are very good.”
Gloria Au, Senior Sales Executive, Crossfor Co., Ltd., Japan

Buyers' comments
“We are a jewellery wholesaler supplying all kinds of fine jewellery to 10,000 shops operated by more than 2,500 companies in Russia and its neighbouring countries. It is my first time visiting the show. It's the largest jewellery show I've ever visited. It is a big and nice show with so many suppliers all under one roof. I came here to source silver, cubic zirconia, gold and diamond jewellery. I've already met some good suppliers from Hong Kong and Thailand on the first day of the show. And I am going to place US$1-2 million worth of orders here.”
Konstantin Zakirov, General Director, National Heritage, Russia

“We are a manufacturer of fine jewellery, supplying retailers in Canada and the US. We've been attending this show for about 20 years. Here we can pick up on what is happening in the industry, and that is very important. This year we've noticed a lot of geometrics and mixing of colours of stones and metals – there is a lot of yellow and black combinations, for example. We're looking to source stones and pearls in particular and this show offers a huge range. We can find new suppliers here as well as meeting with our existing ones. The facilities at this show are gorgeous.”
Leslie Therriault, Merchandiser, Delmar International, Canada

“We are a Brazilian-based manufacturer and exporter of gemstones and 18k gold jewellery, supplying retailers all over the world. I visited the show for the first time, hoping to make connections with gemstones and pearls suppliers and also to know more about how the market here is and how the Chinese manufacturers work with the materials as they are very strong in jewellery manufacturing. I am particularly looking for gemstones, diamonds and pearls for my jewellery production. Actually, the gemstones that we're using are extracted from Brazil, but our suppliers are all based in Hong Kong, so I can see lots of samples at this show. I've also found pearl suppliers in Hong Kong. I am going to bring samples back to Brazil and will confirm orders later. My first orders will be around US$11,000 worth of pearls and US$20,000-25,000 worth of rough gemstones. I am very satisfied with the show.”
Donato Vianna, Sales Manager, Vianna Brasil, Brazil
