The 20th anniversary edition of Jewellery Arabia is set to take place from November 22-26 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre.
To be held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, this annual global exhibition is the largest and most prestigious showcase of jewellery and watches in the Middle East.
More than 600 exhibitors from 30 nations are due to unveil their latest precious creations during the five-day spectacular to an audience of around 50,000 visitors.
Spanning 18,000 square metres, the dazzling array of products on show includes new product launches, exclusive collector items, antiques, plus an incredible range of finished jewellery, luxury watches and precious stones from around the world.
Amongst the many participants preparing to exhibit in Bahrain are some of the most famous master jewellers and watchmakers in the world. Eminent names at Jewellery Arabia 2011 include Chopard, Harry Winston, Hublot, Patek Phillipe and Piaget amongst others.
“It is always a pleasure to participate in such a prestigious event in Manama. The high quality profile of the exhibitors continues to attract interested and enthusiastic consumers and collectors from all over the GCC region,” remarked Hugues Jucker, Chopard’s Middle East sales manager. The company recently opened a store in Moda Mall, as featured in GulfWeekly.

Jewellery Arabia has always been a key event for the most prestigious watch and jewellery brands and has always attracted a very high-profile clientele. We are pleased to attend the 2011 edition in all confidence.”
