Hong Kong International Jewelry Show and International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show Comes Up between March 2 – 8, 2015

All is now set for the holding of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council’s (HKTDC) twin parallel shows, the 32nd-edition of the Hong Kong International Jewelry Show and the 2nd-edition of the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show, appropriately described as “the world’s largest jewelry marketplace,” between March 2, 2015 and March 8, 2015. The two shows which were previously held as an integrated single show known as the Hong Kong International Jewelry Show, until the year 2013, were split into two shows held in two different venues, under the new concept of “2 shows 2 venues” in the year 2014. This change was effected mainly in response to the ever-increasing demand for exhibition space and to maximize the buyers’ sourcing opportunities. One show, reserved exclusively for finished jewelry products, still retaining the name “Hong Kong International Jewelry Show,” was held at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center, while the other show christened the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show catered for loose stones and jewelry raw materials and was held at the AsiaWorld-Expo.

The splitting of the show under the “2 shows 2 venues” concept really paid off, as evident from the statistics of exhibitors, visitors and countries that attended the shows. While the integrated show in 2013 attracted 3,200 exhibitors from 49 countries and regions and 42,000 visitors from 138 countries, the split shows in 2014 attracted a total of 3,856 exhibitors from 53 countries and regions , and more than 75,000 visitors from 145 countries and regions.
