Vietnamese firms join Hong Kong gem and jewelry shows
VOV.VN - Local businesses are joining enterprises from 43 countries and territories worldwide at two gemstone and jewelry shows being held in Hong Kong (China) from February 27 to March 4.
The 10th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, organised from February 27 to March 2 at AsiaWorld Expo, aims to introduce a broad range of diamond, gemstone, and pearl raw materials. It includes three high-end product zones - Hall of Fine Diamonds, Treasures of Nature, and Treasures of Ocean.
Meanwhile, the 40th Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will run from February 29 to March 4 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, with world-class jewelry masterpieces and craftsmanship on show.
This is the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic that the “two shows, two venues” format has been reinstated. More than 60% of the exhibitors come from outside Hong Kong (China), which signifies the high international profile of the two fairs.
They are billed as ideal events for Vietnamese businesses seeking supply sources or to boost market expansion.
Le Thu Phuong, director of Precious Le Gemstone and Jewellry Co. Ltd, said that her company has attended annual fairs in Hong Kong (China), Thailand, and the United States to introduce Vietnamese precious gemstones to foreign customers, adding that such high-quality stones as cobalt spinel, ruby, and sapphire have received attention from international buyers.
More than 30 seminars, forums, and parades will be arranged at the twin jewelry shows, including AI design and innovative technology for the purpose of digital transformation of the industry, fashion matching and market trends, and industry information and standards.
The shows will run under the EXHIBITION+physical-online hybrid model, extending face-to-face interactions from physical exhibitions to an online, smart business-matching platform to help enterprises proactively connect with business partners.
Last year, the events featured the participation of more than 2,500 exhibitors and more than 60,000 visitors from 130 countries and territories globally.
Hong Kong (China)’s jewelry exports in 2023 were valued at roughly US$11.23 billion, soaring 40% compared to the pre-COVID pandemic period.
