International Jewellery London

One industry that attracts some of the biggest deals of any sector is the Jewellery and precious stones business. To accommodate this need, there are several popular annual shows and one of the best that I have attended is the International Jewellery show.

Held at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, this Jewellery show is one of the largest and arguably the best jewellery shows to take place in the UK each year. It should be noted though that this is a trade only event and thus not open to the general public. For those of you who did attend this year’s show, I am sure you will agree that the event was a huge success given the number of exhibitors and visitors to attend, despite the concern with the difficult economic times.

The seminars at the International Jewellery show tend to be a very popular aspect of the show and it is always worth arriving early if you want to avoid having to stand for these talks. I found the seminars a wonderful part of the Jewellery Show and I particularly enjoyed talks on the luxury goods sector, the importance of branding within the Jewellery industry and new techniques in jewellery design.

This 4 day event sees people from all sides of the industry in attendance, be it jewellery designers, shops, online retailers and also companies who are involved with the mining of the precious stones which you tend to see on display.

One thing one does notice at this event is the level of security afforded to some of the displays. Given that some of the pieces of jewellery on view often cost tens of thousands of pounds each, the security is perhaps not so surprising. This show also is one at which significant amounts of money are spent and the sales tend to include orders placed for private investors for personal collections and for retailers. For jewellery manufacturers looking to expand their client base, the 10,000 plus industry visitors who attend each year, means a great opportunity for sales leads.
