“Our customers are partial to classic and simple gold jewellery for everyday use, with small diamonds for accent. We find that Hong Kong companies produce a wide variety of designs that fit the requirements of our market at reasonable prices.”

“Hong Kong is one of my favourite places in the world, and being here is always a privilege. I am finding the show so far to be extravagant. Back in the day, we used to go to Italy to find the most beautiful craftsmanship of gold, but nowadays you can find it here – in Hong Kong, made in China – beautiful, intricate fine jewellery. The finishing is impeccable, honestly. Every year, I find that the standards are becoming better and better.”

“I have been coming here for nearly 25 years. I have formed lasting relationships, and I am very comfortable with that. The June show is ideal for us since it allows us to prepare for the holiday season. September is almost too late for us to have everything ready in time. We like to stay six months ahead. By September, our goal is to have everything ready for the first and second quarters of the following year, starting our preparations for Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day during that time.”

“For us, being here is very important because we have appointments with people who want to see us consistently, so they expect us to be here. Therefore, we have to be present to maintain our relationships with all of our clients and provide them with the best stones that we have to offer.”

“For us, this show is very important. It is important to maintain continuity in this market, and it’s really good to meet our dealers again as soon as possible. It’s a great opportunity, and we really thank [Informa].”

“We are the first ones – the first Japanese pearl company – to join this fair (physically from Japan). We first joined in 1992. I like this show so much. This time, I am really happy to see so many familiar faces and customers from various countries, some of whom I first met about 30 years ago. They still visit me at the show!”
