HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show 2016

Welcome to the presentation of the Federal Republic of Germany

“Made in Germany”, originally a mark of origin, is known worldwide as a Symbol of German quality.

This applies to most products and especially to jewellery, silverware and gemstones from Germany.

Quality in our sector is based on extensive education, a high level of technology and many years of experience. That is why German jewellery and silverware is valued so highly in over 160 export markets around the world. Although the main export markets are located in Europe, in which about 70% of the business is carried out the German jewellery and silverware industry has increasingly turned to the Far East countries in recent years and especially to Hong Kong as the gateway to the Asian market.

Since its very start the Hongkong International Jewellery Show has increasingly attracted buyers from the surrounding countries. The fair is therefore an excellent forum for German companies to establish contacts with customers from the entire region. German companies have been presenting jewellery and related products at the Hongkong International Jewellery Show since many years.

With its almost approximately 400 manufacturers, the German jewellery and silverware industry is able to boast a predominant number of middle-sized businesses. The centre of the German jewellery industry is situated in Pforzheim on the outskirts of the Black Forest, where approx. 70% of German jewellery is produced. The companies in Pforzheim make great efforts every year to coordinate their collections to the taste of the individual sales regions abroad. This is undoubtedly the main reason why this industrial sector has been so successful in assuming a leading position and maintaining this position until the present day.

In addition to the jewellery centre of Pforzheim there is the gemstone cutting centre of Idar-Oberstein. This international trading place has its origin in the rough stones that were once mined there.
