Jewellery & Gem Digital World starts today, opening its virtual doors to a global B2B marketplace where buyers can discover their next potential bestsellers, engage with suppliers that can deliver value for their business and gain relevant and timely industry insights from experts regardless of distance and time.

A wide and diverse range of new products are available for viewing at the exhibitors’ virtual showrooms. Jewellers, gemstone dealers, and packaging and findings suppliers – from the biggest names in the industry to the world’s most agile and competitive small- and medium-sized companies – are all set to reveal to visitors the collections and carefully curated inventories that they painstakingly built in the last several months for three days of product sourcing (27 – 29 October).

Registered buyers looking for their next top sellers are encouraged to optimise the platform’s powerful tools to launch genuine conversations, facilitate efficient digital product meetings, and ultimately, build business relationships with their suppliers of choice.

Meanwhile, a dedicated Tools & Equipment Pavilion is hosted on JewelleryNet – a B2B online community that offers online sourcing, marketing and media solutions to jewellery professionals. This pavilion is open to all buyers. Visitor registration is not required to access suppliers’ virtual showrooms. To chat with exhibitors and enjoy JewelleryNet’s Request-for-Quotation (RFQ) service, buyers only need to register for JewelleryNet membership.

Further enriching the J&G Digital World experience is an exclusive content programme consisting of trade discussions highlighting the latest developments in the industry – all powered by Informa Markets Jewellery’s Jewellery & Gem Knowledge Community.

One of the highlights of today’s programme is the JNA Awards’ first-ever virtual awards ceremony at 8pm (Hong Kong time). Honouring and celebrating the achievements of the best and the brightest in the jewellery world, the virtual event is paying tribute to industry pillars Lawrence Ma and Kent Wong, Recipients of JNA Awards 2020’s highest accolade – the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Award Recipients across seven categories are also going to be revealed tonight.
