Organised by Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 3rd Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show will take place from 1 to 5 March 2016 at the AsiaWorld-Expo, and the 33rd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will open between 3 and 7 March 2016 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). This year, the two shows will welcome more than 4,380 exhibitors from 50 countries and regions, according to the organiser.
New zones and pavilions will be set up to cater to different buyer demands. At the raw material show, a new Rough Stones & Minerals zone will showcase unpolished and uncut stones and gems. In the jewellery show, Wedding Bijoux zone will present bridal jewellery;‘T-GOLD + METS’ Pavilion, co-organised by HKTDC, Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association (HKJJA) and Fiera di Vicenza (FdV), will feature international professional jewellery and watch making machinery, equipment, technology and supplies.
Apart from eye-catching raw materials, jewellers are also gaining attention for the unique designs and high-quality brands. The jewellery show’s Hall of Fame will showcase collections by more than 40 top-tier international brands.
Among many pavilions from different countries and regions at the two shows, France will set up its pavilion at the first time during the jewellery show, while the Tanzanite Foundation pavilion will debut at the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show.
“This is the third year that we are using the ‘two shows, two venues’ format, an arrangement that has been well received by exhibitors and buyers alike,” said HKTDC deputy executive director Benjamin Chau. “By showcasing raw materials and finished pieces separately, we can accommodate more exhibitors with a more spacious exhibition environment, and provide a greater selection of products to buyers with enhanced product specialisation.”
The 17th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition received 277 entries this year. Winners of Open Group and Student Group awards and the Craftsmanship & Technology Award have been selected. The winning pieces will be exhibited during the jewellery show.
