Sri Lanka shines at Hong Kong Jewellery and Watch Fair

A record number of exhibitors and visitors at the September Hong Kong Jewellery and Watch Fair - 2007 held from September 25 to 29, propelled the event to unprecedented success. Both exhibitors and buyers reported an increase in business, transactions during the five day show.

The September Hong Kong Jewellery and Watch Fair is acclaimed as one of the world's top three fine jewellery fairs and the biggest jewellery fair in Asia, showcasing a wide range of products from fine finished jewellery, polished diamonds and gemstones, to all varieties of pearls, jewellery timepieces, packaging, displays, as well as jewellery-making equipment, tools and machinery.

The Show had over 2500 exhibitors from 48 Countries/region and 19 National and Group Pavilions representing the broadest range of product categories, the utmost convenience and superior amenities.

The "Sri Lanka Pavilion" was organised by National Gem and Jewellery Authority. The "National Pavilion" which displayed a glittering array of Gems and Jewellery from Sri Lanka presented by six members of the trade, attracted buyers of international repute from U.S.A. and other leading consuming countries.

The members of the "National Pavilion" were successful in transacting business to the value of USD 2 million and securing orders for fine quality single pieces, calibrated sapphires and contract cutting.

A few important buyers accepted the invitation extended by us to visit 'Facets Sri Lanka' in September 2008, and agreed to get in touch with the Show Organisers.
