The fair featured the third edition of the China Jewellery Market Summit, co-organized by the Shenzhen Fair and CJNA. It was divided into two main parts: a jewelry parade showcasing jewelry from a select group of exhibitors, and a panel discussion that featured speakers from four leading jewelry brands who shared their views on the latest developments in mainland China’s jewelry market; and how the retailers could tap new business opportunities through innovative thinking.
“The China jewelry retail market has been experiencing a lot of changes in recent years. It is slowing down after years of rapid growth,” Joe Ho, fair manager, China – Jewellery Fairs of UBM Asia. “The summit was a good venue to help local retailers understand the changes and hear about solutions to the challenges.”
