What the Buyers say
-
Elias El-Sayegh
Sayegh Jeweller (Since 1935), Lebanon“This fair is very well-organised. I have discovered a broad assortment of jewellery collections, and I have met suppliers from all over the world, including Italy, India, Spain and Turkey. The fair is also quite easy to navigate since there are distinct sections, from Diamonds and Coloured Gemstones to Fine Jewellery and Technology.”
-
Alyson Lucia Mazai
Velucia Jewelry, Botswana“It’s an amazing show. I have seen mostly modern designs, which I could actually introduce back home. I have four stores in Botswana where I also offer custom design services to my clients. I am looking for suppliers who can make whatever my customers want. Botswana has quite a big market for finished jewellery.”
-
Blanca Luzia Do Amaral Soares
Blanca Leone Jewelry, São Paulo, Brazil“The fair is easy to explore and clearly segmented into different sections. I discovered a wide range of jewellery collections curated from around the globe, from Turkey, Italy, Singapore and Hong Kong to name a few. More importantly, not only was I able to meet with my favourite suppliers, I also connected with new ones.”
-
Savvas Samourakis
Savvas Samourakis Jewellery, Greece“JGTD met all of my expectations! This was exactly the show that I needed. As a buyer, I would say that my Dubai trip was a success since I found two new suppliers from whom I purchased good-value products at fair prices.”
-
Varouj Chilinguirian
Varouj Jewelry, Cairo, Egypt“I was impressed with the size of the show. It was the perfect size for a three-day fair. I found new exhibitors who offered their latest collections and I met with old suppliers who presented new things that I could try. It was a good experience once again. I was looking for coloured gemstones, diamonds and other precious materials, and some chains and gold products.”
-
Yolanda Yara Miguel Cunjuca
By Yara, Luanda, Angola“I am impressed with the gemstone showcases and the latest jewellery-making technologies. I also connected with chain-makers from Italy. Obviously, as a designer and an independent brand, I have my niche in terms of the type of products that I create, but to see what else is out there and what other options I can consider is very important. The fair is rich with that.”
-
Mateo Rafael Barba Da Silva
JD Medallas, Guayaquil, Ecuador“This show has been a total success for me. I discovered new suppliers and new product lines that I have been looking forward to getting into, so it’s been very interesting. We are wholesalers and I aim to incorporate new products into our portfolio. I am searching for diamonds and gems, and the fair has all that.”
