show report

Over 55,000 visitors from 48 countries attended the 27th

edition of the Middle East’s premier jewellery and watch

exhibition, Jewellery Arabia 2018, marking a 9% increase on

the previous event.

Jewels, gems and watches worth over US$ 1 billion went on

display at the glittering five-day exhibition staged across

21,000 square meters at the Bahrain International

Exhibition and Convention Centre.

A total of 561 exhibitors from 31 countries converged to

launch new product lines, display latest collections and

introduce limited edition pieces to discerning private buyers

and trade professionals.

Total sales during the show exceeded US$ 31 million,

marking a 20% increase on the 2017 edition.

“A healthy increase in attendee numbers, coupled with

sustained participation from exhibitors and strong sales

reflects Jewellery Arabia’s continuing strength in the Middle

East and its position as a leading event in the global industry

calendar,” said show organiser UBM AEM’s Director of Sales

and Marketing Fawzi Al Shehabi.

Visitors from Saudi Arabia – the Middle East’s largest market

– accounted for 23% of the show total.

Major exhibitor Bahrain Jewellery Centre’s Managing

Director Dina Shirazi described the Bahrain market as

“refined”, adding, “this event is an amazing show for us and

we look forward to it every year.”

Visiting the show, DMCC Executive Chairman Ahmed Bin

Sulaymen remarked, “I am beginning to understand why

Jewellery Arabia is the most successful and biggest jewellery

exhibition in the Middle East. I will be attending this

exhibition every year from now on.”

The exhibition was inaugurated on 20 November 2018 by

the show patron His Royal Highness the Prime Minister of

the Kingdom of Bahrain Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al

Khalifa. In his inaugural address, the Prime Minister

emphasised the Bahrain government’s full support for the

Jewellery Arabia series and the importance of the gold and

jewellery sector to the local economy.

He expressed his admiration for the high value of the exhibition and stressed that Jewellery Arabia

has become a milestone in the gold and jewellery industry both regionally and internationally.

Speaking at the opening the Prime Minister said, “The gold and jewellery industry is a genuine

and neighbouring countries. We are keen to support this industry and preserve it in a way that

maintains its historic and long-standing status.”

His Excellency the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism Zayed bin Rashid Al Zayani

affirmed that the exhibition industry plays an important role in achieving the Ministry’s strategic

objectives and economic vision as it seeks to strengthen Bahrain’s position as a country that

embraces investments and international projects at all levels.

timepieces, precious gems, clocks, fine writing instruments, luxury accessories and more from

around the globe went on sale at Jewellery Arabia 2018.
