“We believe it is important for retailers to source a wider variety of designs to cater to the different needs and demands of their customers. At the same time, retailers can also take the opportunity to learn about and adapt to new technologies which help them to expand their offerings with cost reduction,” UBM Exhibition Singapore managing director Paul Wan said in a recent press release.
Besides the jewelry and gem exhibition, the event will also feature a tools and equipment pavilion to allow visitors to discover jewelry-making techniques and technologies.
Last year, the fair attracted over 10,000 visitors and raked in S$16 million (US$11,848 million) in onsite sales. (kes)
