Macau, China—The Macau Jewellery and Watch Fair made its debut in January, marking the first-ever international jewelry trade fair to take place at the beginning of the year in Macau.

More than 6,600 trade visitors from 59 countries and regions, and more than 500 companies from 24 countries and regions, converged upon The Cotai Strip Convention and Exhibition Center at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel for the Jan. 10-13 event.

Organizers described the show in a media release as bringing a unique business platform to Asian jewelry traders.

"Both exhibitors and visitors agreed that the Fair provides new business opportunities for them, as it provides an unprecedented marketplace and will strengthen Asia's leading position in the international jewelry industry," Celine Lau, director of jewelry fairs, CMP Asia, said in a statement.

Among the visitors, 53 percent came from outside the Macau and Hong Kong regions, with the majority of visitors (72.2 percent) coming from other Asia-Pacific regions; 3.5 percent from North America, 2.1 percent from Europe and 1.8 percent from the Middle East, Africa, South and Central America.

Exhibitors at the show took over more than 900 booths, and group pavilions included jewelry products from Antwerp, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and the United States.

A second jewelry show organized by CMP Asia, the Macau Fine Jewellery Fair 2008, will be held in Macau later this year, from Sept. 25-28, and is targeted at select trade customers and VIP collectors.

Next year's edition of the Macau Jewellery and Watch Fair will take place from Jan. 8-11, 2009.
