JWA 2021 Jewellery Industry Best Practices

6 | Jewellery World Awards 2021 Message Welcome to the JWA award presentation ceremony! This is the first year we operate this prestigious award event under its new brand to serve a more international audience, regardless of its company size or business nature. We, at Informa Markets Jewellery (IMJ), are constantly looking for ways to serve the industry effectively. With our extensive global network and in-depth knowledge of the industry, we explore new ways to facilitate business for the global trade. This year, we launch the inaugural edition of JGT Dubai with Italian Exhibition Group (IEG). It marks IMJ’s first international B2B trade show for the jewellery and gemstone industry since 2019. We have also made the decision to move the JWA award presentation ceremony to Dubai this year to coincide with JGT Dubai to give the trade more opportunities to network and bond in an international setting. I would like to thank our Partners for their strong support and making tonight possible – our Headline Partners, Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group and the Shanghai Diamond Exchange, and our Honoured Partners, KGK Group and Guangdong Land (Shenzhen) Co Ltd. Finally, my sincere congratulations to all Recipients and Honourees for your spectacular accomplishments!
