Exclusive Jewellery Collections At Inaugural Dubai Global Gem & Jewellery Fair Entice Visitors

Brilliant new designs and impressive creations from the most successful GCC and Indian jewellery brands enticed visitors at the inaugural Dubai Global Gem & Jewellery Fair which concludes on March 22, 2014 at Atlantis, The Palm. The event has three sections devoted to Gold Jewellery, Studded Jewellery, Diamonds & Gemstones and displays exclusive and stunning creations from 130 exhibitors.

Also on show are rare and unique jewellery pieces and collector's items. Visitors to the Dhamani booth at the exhibition, for example, can experience a preview of The Falcon made of gold, silver, platinum and diamonds. A collector's item made with accuracy and artisanship, Dhamani's in-house designers took over a year to create the masterpiece.

According to Amit Dhamani, Managing Director, Dhamani Jewels, "We wanted to create a one-of-a -kind piece that is a tribute to the great nation of the UAE and we conceptualized The Falcon as it is very much a part of UAE's heritage and culture. Created by our in-house team of designers, The Falcon required great precision and hard work as we had to capture a perfect image of the flying bird ready to land. "

The special edition Falcon is available for AED 1 Million.

The Global Gem & Jewellery Fair has brought Retailers, Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Importers and Exporters of the jewellery industry worldwide under one roof.

For Kashi Jewellers from India, the B2B show is an ideal platform to showcase their exclusive diamond jewellery and bridal designs to potential partners.

According to Shreynash Kapoor, Vice President, Kashi Jewellers, "At the moment ten percent of our export is to the Middle East, especially the UAE and Kuwait. With Dubai's phenomenal growth and the recent achievement of winning the rights to host the Expo 2020, we see Dubai as a strong hub for our trade in the region."

Also exploring the potential of the Middle East market is Anup Bohra, jewellery designer and Managing Director of Jewels Emporium that is more than 170 years old.

Bohra said: "This is the first time we are participating in a jewellery show in the Middle East though I have held private shows in Dubai before. I believe jewellery is all about imagination; in my collections I have captured the myriad images of nature. I have been designing ever since I can remember. I am an artist and I express my inspirations through jewellery."

The designs at Jewels Emporium showcase many timeless pieces which represent the modern era of unconventional designs.

The Global Gem & Jewellery Fair (GGJF) hosted in Dubai for the first time is organized by DMCC, Dubai's and the region's global gateway for commodity trade and enterprise, and the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) India.

According to Gautam Sashittal, Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, "Even after the first show day, the event has already been rated as highly successful by buyers and sellers, and we are honoured to have worked with the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council for the inaugural edition. At DMCC, we are proactive in identifying the needs of the industry and facilitating trade. Events like this offer businesses a platform to not only showcase their latest innovations in design and products but also to engage with global players and identify greater business opportunities."

Pankaj Parekh, Vice-Chairman, GJEPC, said: "India's central role as the sourcing centre for diamonds and precious stones jewellery is renowned world-wide. For years traders and visitors to India have enjoyed the craftsmanship, quality, design and cost efficiency - now it's time we return the gesture and bring the source to Dubai - the most promising destination for the gemstones and jewellery trade in recent times. GJEPC is pleased to collaborate with DMCC and we look forward to further strengthen international trading relations here at the GGJF 2014."
