The four-day event received positive results in all aspects, including in venue design, exhibition scale, onsite events, exhibits and organizer's service. Many visitors commented that the scale of fair was unprecedented in Taiwan. Distinct exhibit categorization and country pavilions not only enabled buyers to save time in making purchases, but also clearly presented different countries' features and competitive prices.

A considerable volume of orders was placed during the show; an amber exhibitor from Poland reported that they had sold half of their exhibits on the second day of the fair. Clear proof of the strong enthusiasm of buyers at the show was provided by the fact that two automatic teller machines (ATM) in the venue ran out of cash on the last day of the fair. Post-show follow-up sales are estimated to be over ten billion Taiwan dollars.

The fair drew enthusiastic support and response from local and overseas exhibitors. In addition to Taiwanese exhibitors, it is exciting that exhibitors from Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Turkey, the International Gemstone Association (ICA) and the Israel Diamond Institute (IDI) all plan to book group pavilions at the next event.

Visitor's Quotes

Tasa Meng Corporation, Ms Kimmy Lin (Taiwan)

"The exhibitors invited by UBM Asia this year are mostly well-known or up-and-coming designers. Product categorization is clear to let buyers find what they want easily. The most important thing is that you are able to find those suppliers and compare their prices and products easily; moreover, it enables buyers to make connections within the industry and achieve their objective of looking for new partners. Thanks for the effort of UBM Asia and especially for the improvement of venue decoration. I am sure this fair is a big milestone for Taiwan jewellery industry and I am glad we have such substantial scale and international fair here in Taiwan!"

Secretary General of Tianjin Gold Jewelery Association, Mr. Lee Guei Chien (China)

"Tianjin Gold Jewelery Association gathered many powerful enterprises and jewellers in Tianjin to participate in this show. This fair is the highest level of international jewellery show in Taiwan ever!

Taiwan's coral products are very sought after in Tianjin. Taiwan's jewellery industry also works hard to promote Taiwan jewellery design and develop new product ideas. This meeting gave both sides of the jewellery industry an opportunity to learn from each other and facilitate the development of the jewellery business."

Private Jewellery Collector, Mr. Harry Lu (China)

"The organizer put in much effort to gather exhibitors from around the world, so we could have chance to get in touch with exquisite treasures. In addition to a wide variety of quality gemstones, there were also delicate and innovative jewellery designs ready to amaze the visitors! Every exhibitor communicated the essence of their products sincerely so that visitors could truly gain a great deal of knowledge at the fair. I'm already looking forward to the show next year!"
