Prestigious Hong Kong showcase for the world`s jewellery

Hong Kong, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Asia's biggest international mid-year jewellery fair, the June Hong Kong Jewellery & Watch Fair, opens today with a record of 1,290 exhibitors from 33 countries and regions.

The four-day event, now celebrating its 21st edition, continues through 22 June at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). This year's fair has expanded to more than 40,000 square metres with more than 2,300 booths, and continues to provide international jewellery buyers with a wider range of choices in a single venue.

"The purchasing power of Asian buyers is getting stronger in recent years owing to the economic growth in some Asian countries such as China and India. This facilitates the healthy growth of the June Fair, placing it among the world's top 10 international jewellery fairs. First-time exhibitors this year include companies from France, Mexico and Sri Lanka.

"To cope with the overwhelming demand from exhibitors, this year's show is expanding to incorporate the Grand Hall of HKCEC, which will provide over 250 booths," Ms Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs, CMP Asia Ltd, stated.

"CMP Asia is an experienced organiser of exhibitions with a proven track record of numerous successes. Clear market positioning and professional management is our consistent winning formula. June is the perfect timing for mid-year stock replenishing and the duty-free trade policy in Hong Kong has nurtured the healthy growth of the June Fair into the largest mid-year jewellery sourcing platform in Asia," Ms Lau added.
