 “Founded in 1945, OROAFRICA is one of the largest jewellery manufacturers and exporters in South Africa. Two years ago, we launched our absolute™ wedding band, which is crafted from virgin gold freshly extracted from deep within the African earth, making every single ring a pristine symbol of a brand new beginning. Since our major markets are South Africa and the US, we are keen to promote our brand and grow our business in Asia through our participation in the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show. Our wedding bands have attracted a lot of interest from Asian buyers. It’s so amazing to see so many Asian buyers especially those from the Chinese mainland, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. We hope to find a reputable retailer who can partner with us to develop the Asian market.”

We are particularly interested in loose diamonds and diamond jewellery especially bridal related pieces. Up till now, the total amount of our orders at the two shows is around US$700,000.

 “With 36 jewellery shops in Indonesia, our company offers mainly yellow gold and white gold jewellery with diamonds. We have visited the Hong Kong show for many times. This year we are looking for medium-end jewellery products decorated with small diamonds which are suitable for daily use as well as jewellery boxes and displays. We have found about seven prospective suppliers and already bought US$200,000 worth of diamond jewellery from one supplier. For jewellery boxes and displays, it’ll take some time for us to check the specifications before we can finalise our orders. The Hong Kong show is getting bigger and bigger. We like it because we can meet a lot of suppliers and see a wide range of jewellery products.”

 “Established in 2002, we have two jewellery shops in the Philippines selling diamond and gem set jewellery. At this jewellery show, we are looking for both classic and trendy jewellery items which are in the price range of US$1,000 to US$2,000 per piece. Through the HKTDC’s business matching service, we have found two potential suppliers and already placed an order worth US$40,000 for diamond and gem set jewellery with one of these suppliers. In addition, we have found three other potential suppliers on our own at the fairground. We like to visit the Hong Kong show every year because it can meet all our souring needs and the suppliers here can offer good quality and attractive prices.”
Arlene Ching, President, AMI Jewels, Inc., the Philippines |
 “Our company represents a group of 200 independent jewellery retailers in France and assists our members in sourcing all kinds of jewellery products and packaging materials. This is our second time attending the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show. We want to buy packaging boxes and the Hong Kong show provides the best sourcing platform for delicate designs and good prices. So far, we have found three potential suppliers for packaging boxes and we have started negotiations with them. French consumers prefer diamond jewellery and silver jewellery with fine craftsmanship. We have seen some nice products here and may place orders later. The Hong Kong show is fantastic and professionally organised. It offers numerous choices from which buyers can choose.”
