I found new companies offering interesting products and discovered a wide variety of goods, especially within the diamond product category. Participating in this exhibition was also very useful when it came to coloured gemstone purchasing since you could not buy these goods without seeing and touching them first,” said Farog Giligrian of Egypt-based Varouj Jewelry. Larissa Apollaro of Brazilian jewellery retail chain, VIVARA, commented, “JGT Dubai was a great opportunity to meet new suppliers of fine jewellery from Italy and Turkey, and buy coloured stones.” Michel A. Zeidan of Ruwi Jewellers LLC from Oman was delighted with the quality of coloured gemstones offered at the show. “This first edition of JGT Dubai was great,” Zeidan said. “I think Dubai will be the future hub in the region for the jewellery industry, and it is very important to build connections among all the major jewellery and gemstone centres, from India and Israel to Europe. It was good to be back in a B2B show such as JGT Dubai.” Personal connections Meeting buyers face to face at engaging live events like JGT Dubai is a vital part of the customer relationshipbuilding process, exhibitors said. “We are very happy about our performance at JGT Dubai. We met with so many new clients from South America, Europe and Russia. We will continue to exhibit here,” said Mehemet Diribas of Turkey’s ZEN Diamond. Alice Alessi of Italy-based Alessi Domenico described JGT Dubai’s first edition as amazing and outstanding. “We had new buyers coming from all over the world, and our customers reached us here in Dubai,” she said. Paolo Bettinardi of Italy’s Better Silver said the fair was perfectly timed for buyers who needed to fulfil their product sourcing requirements for the coming peak selling seasons and beyond. “We have very positive feedback for JGT Dubai. We saw customers from Israel, Turkey, Dubai and India,” said Bettinardi. “Dubai is also the perfect place to meet customers who are no more than a three-hour flight away from the city. The show’s timing is also ideal since it allows buyers to replenish their stocks at the beginning of the year.” Ashish Garg of Dubai-based KGK Diamonds & Jewellery DMCC said his team was extremely pleased to be a part of JGT Dubai. “We strongly believe in this show. We met a lot of customers from different countries, particularly from the US, Europe and the Middle East,” Garg revealed. Further enhancing the JGT Dubai experience were the Dubai Diamond Conference organised by DMCC, and Informa Markets Jewellery’s Jewellery World Awards and JWA Dubai awards presentation ceremony, which were both held on February 21.
