Exhibitor Testimonials

Ms. Cynthia Wang, Marketing Director of Diamond Bank:

"A high quality B-to-B jewellery exhibition such as the Taiwan Jewellery & Gem Fair is important for Taiwan. Both trade and VIP buyers were well represented at the Fair. It was our first time to exhibit at the Fair, and we were highly impressed by the well thought out floorplan, visiting routes and security procedures."

Mr. Chi-Chang Liang, General Manager of Top Kang Lapidary & Jewellery Arts

"We have been participating in the Taiwan Jewellery & Gem Fair for three consecutive years. It is always impressive how the organiser is able to provide exhibitors with a professional and elegant environment for their business meetings. Although the overall world market is somewhat slow this year, we were still able to meet new buyers from Malaysia and Indonesia. We were glad to exhibit at the Fair."

Visitor Testimonials

Ms. Karina Chang, Purchasing Manager of City Diamond

"The Fair was bigger and better this year. Many Taiwan exhibitors clearly invested a lot in image building and brand promotion. Their booths and presentations were spectacular. We were also happy to meet our existing suppliers at the Fair which saved us travelling time and costs. We look forward to the Fair next year."

Mr. Ermin Siow, President of the Federation of Goldsmiths And Jewellers Associations Of Malaysia

"It was a pleasure to visit the Taiwan Jewellery & Gem Fair. On behalf of our delegations, I would like to extend our appreciation for all the kind hospitality extended to us during our visit. I must say that we were quite impressed with the show overall. We were especially impressed with some exhibitors who showcased a vast array of coral jewelleries, which are not so common. Some of the jadeite jewellery on exhibit were very eye-catching.

Once again, a big thank you to the organizer for hosting our delegates, I am sure the show will even get better in times to come."

The 4th edition of the Taiwan Jewellery & Gem Fair will return to Taipei World Trade Centre, Hall 1 on October 21 to 24, 2016. Ms. Sabine Liu, General Manager of UBM Asia Ltd., Taiwan Branch, commented: "With the B-to-B trade platform provided by UBM, the world leading organiser of jewellery trade fairs, and the continuous support from the Taiwan jewellery associations, it can be expected that the hardworking Taiwan Jewellers will bring Taiwan designer jewellery to the world stage in the near future."
