RAPAPORT... Beginning in March 2014, organizers of the HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will split the event into two venues: the HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and the HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show. Finished jewelry products will be exhibited at jewelry show at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre from March 5 to 9, loose stones and raw materials will be featured at the diamond, gem and pearl show in the AsiaWorld-Expo from March 3 to 7. The initiative will provide dedicated sourcing trade platforms, which are more professional and focused for the product categories concerned, according to the organizers. “The brand new arrangement of '2 Shows 2 Venues' will allow more jewelry suppliers and manufacturers to participate, in which a greater variety of jewelry exhibits will be on feature. The two shows are perfectly timed and housed to generate a synergistic effect, maximizing exhibitors' exposure and buyers’ sourcing opportunities and providing a perfect setting for the shows to grow and prosper," said Benjamin Chau, the deputy executive director of HKTDC. The 30th Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, which took place in March 2013, attracted 3,341 jewelry suppliers and manufacturers and 42,113 buyers.
