The DITP and the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (GIT) jointly organised a dinner talk entitled ‘Towards a Global Leader in the Gems and Jewelry Industry’ on August 8 at the Holiday Inn Silom Hotel, Bangkok.
“The gems and jewelry industry is significant to the country’s economy, […] exports of gems and jewelry have witnessed continuous robust growth, enjoying more than US$7.18 billion worth of revenue, making Thailand the world’s 12th largest gems and jewelry exporting country,” said Minister of Commerce Apiradi Tantraporn, who presided over the dinner.
“Thailand is one of the world’s two largest colourstone centres for raw materials and production,” said Gaetano Cavalieri, President of CIBJO (The World Jewelry Confederation) who was the key speaker at the event. “The Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair should position itself as a regional show, a gateway to the mega-market that is ASEAN.”
The DITP will host the 58th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair (BGJF) from September 7 to 11 at Challenger Hall, IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani, Bangkok. The fair’s highlights will include: the 60+Exhibition featuring jewelry for the elderly, Gemstlemen jewelry for men, Pet Parade jewelry for pet lovers and The Moments exhibition that will feature jewelry for special occasions.
