“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.”

“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 visited many exhibitions around the world but this is my first time in Hong Kong. What I found at JGA exceeded my expectations. It’s as if the entire jewellery world is inside this place and I don’t need to go anywhere else. We need more time to see everything. I am looking for fine jewellery to sell in my boutique, and as a designer, I am also sourcing loose coloured stones and diamonds. The offerings here are superb.”

“I met a lot of people here and established valuable business connections. For me, this fair is a must-attend event for the jewellery world. I’m especially focused on sourcing gemstones, and I appreciate that there’s an entire floor dedicated to gemstone exhibitors with numerous companies participating. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”

“I handpick the gemstones myself, which is why it’s a must that I come to the show directly to see things in person and know my suppliers. Attending JGA is also a good way of learning about the different offerings out there and understanding what’s happening in the jewellery industry. This event brings together many people – traders and clients from different parts of the world – sharing diverse perspectives. This makes attending the show essential for me.”

“This is one of the best shows I have ever seen in the whole world because you can find the biggest stalls here. We discover things that we cannot find in other places – only in Hong Kong! It is good to do business here. Many aspects of the show are valuable to me, particularly the antique and vintage jewellery section and the fine jewellery pavilion since my business focuses specifically on diamond and coloured gemstone jewellery.”
