“Based in Cyprus, we specialise in manufacturing solitaire rings in platinum or 18k gold, with Europe being our major market. Last year, we expanded into coloured gemstone jewellery to meet market needs. In the past seven years, we came to this show as visitors. This year, we are exhibiting at this show for the first time. We are particularly keen to look for new buyers from the US, Asia and Dubai. Since Asia is a big market, this show also offers us a good opportunity to know more about the Asian market and its jewellery trends. It is a very good show which attracts many buyers from all over the world.”
Roula Skari, General Manager, Andros Skaris Ltd, Cyprus (Booth: 5C-H10)
“Established in 1997 in London, our company designs and manufactures high-quality gemstone jewellery which is sold to every part of the world. Our fine gemstones are supplied by our German-based parent company which has more than 100 years of history in the gemstone cutting business. This is our first-time exhibition at this show. We want to introduce our new designs to international buyers and we are interested in expanding our business in Asia especially the Chinese mainland market. We like this show because it is a high-quality event that features all kinds of jewellery as well as loose diamonds, pearls and gemstones all under one roof, drawing many buyers to come to this show. So far, the business atmosphere here has been positive.”
Axel Henn, Owner & Director, Henn of London Ltd., the UK(Booth: GH-D19)

“We operate 50 jewellery shops in Mexico, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic. Currently, we are selling silver jewellery, but we want to upgrade our shops by adding gold jewellery. We have been to the Hong Kong International Jewellery show for many years because this show provides a good variety of jewellery products and we find the right suppliers here. At this year’s show, we hope to find new suppliers not just for silver jewellery but also for gold jewellery while meeting existing suppliers. Though we just started our sourcing at this show, it looks promising as there are a lot of good suppliers. We are particularly interested in the jewellery products offered by exhibitors from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong.”
Daniel Espinosa de los Monteros, Director & Head Designer, Daniel Espinosa Jewelry, Mexico
“Delmar is a wholesaler of diamond, gemstone, gold and silver jewellery, supplying department stores and jewellery retailers in Canada and the US. This is our eighth year attending this show. The Hong Kong fair is a good place to see new materials and new designs for inspirations and also to make new contacts. This year, we are particularly looking for gold jewellery with diamonds and gold jewellery with gemstones which are trendy items in our markets. The show offers lots of choices and beautiful ideas. Though it’s just the first day, we’ve already found 3-4 potential suppliers from the Chinese mainland. We’re collecting more details before finalising our orders.”
Leslie Therriault, Merchandiser, Delmar International, Canada
