The tenth and largest ever edition of International Jewellery Dubai (IJD 2004) concluded on 10th December at the DWTC Complex with the presence of over 14,000 trade visitors and high-end consumers.
The show was over 100 percent larger than last year’s show, making IJD the largest jewellery in the Middle East.
DWTC Director General, Helal Saeed Khalfan Al Marri said, “Initial feedback from exhibitors, trade visitors and the public alike was very favourable, with exhibitors reporting increased business activity, while trade visitors and consumers were impressed by the quality and variety of the exhibits on show.”
“The success of IJD reflects Dubai’s increasing profile as a major player in the worldwide jewellery trade and the show’s position as the premier platform for the jewellery industry in the region. Participation at IJD gives international and regional exhibitors access to buyers from the Middle East, Africa and the Indian sub-continent,” he added.
Rajesh Mehta of Supergems said, “IJD 2004 was extremely well organised considering the expansion it has undergone.”
“A lot of effort has gone in and even though a few things need looking at, overall we are very happy and think the show is fantastic,” Mehta added.
Karim Merchant, Managing Director of Pure Gold said, "This was Pure Gold''s debut at the International Jewellery Dubai, and to make good use of this unique platform, we launched our all new Pure Sparkle range. The experience was very encouraging and the response by visitors very positive.”
The exhibition was visited by Royal visitors, VIPs and other dignitaries, which posted an over 100 percent increase in the number of exhibitors – 454 this year as opposed to 225 last year, and an over 65 percent increase in the net space taken up – 8,311 sq meter this year which is up from 5,000 sq meter last year.
There was also a surge in worldwide interest, with the participation of many big names for the first time. An Italian Pavilion with 27 companies and one from Taiwan made their debut at IJD 2004, while pavilions from countries with traditionally strong representations like Belgium, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Thailand and Turkey all made their presence felt this year too.
The record-breaking edition of International Jewellery Dubai 2004 featured a wide range of premier products reflecting the latest trends in the industry as well as exhibits that include cut and uncut gemstones, gold, platinum and silver jewellery, gem-set, precious and semi-precious jewellery, precious stones, semi-precious stones, bullion, antique jewellery, branded costume jewellery, branded watches and clocks, silverware, part-finished jewellery, packaging and display materials and manufacturing tools and machinery. |
