The Head of the Chamber of
Jewellers
We are setting higher standars
for the JEWEX Fair
Dear colleagues,
The 4th of the Jewex
Fair of Engagement Ring, Gold,
Jewellery, Silver Jewellery and
Watch is going to be held in 3 -
6 February 2012. JEWEX Fair
having a great importance for us
as it is the single Fair
Organization that brings the
sector together in our region
set higher standards. Therefore,
we are looking forward to 4th
Fair Organization with a greater
excitement and hope.
The Aegean, especially Izmir is
of a great importance for the
jewelry sector. Our region,
where we broke grounds in this
sector throughout history, is
the most important production
and marketing center of Turkey
after Istanbul. We added more to
this feature with the works we
performed last year.
Firstly, the action of Western
Anatolia Jewelry Union that we
started on November 2010 paved
the way for jewelry profession
in Turkey to meet under the roof
of unity and solidarity. The
torch that we lighted in Izmir
is lightening all over Turkey
now. We are looking for the ways
to explain to the ones managing
us that this is a sector, and we
want to solve the problems about
our profession and also set a
higher standard to this by
coming together with our
colleagues from different
regions in different cities.
We witnessed the first effects
of these works in the JEWEX 2011
Fair. In the fair we organized
right after the Western
Anatolian Jewelry Union made a
start, JEWEX is no longer the
fair of Aegean region but
Turkey’s now. We hosted our
colleagues from different
regions and cities of Turkey
such as Antalya, Eskişehir,
Kütahya, Balıkesir, Urfa,
Adiyaman, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep,
Kayseri, Adana, Manisa, Isparta,
Denizli, Usak, and especially
Istanbul and Ankara in JEWEX. We
cooperated commercially and
traded with them. I believe that
the efforts started right after
the fair to unite throughout the
country will bring JEWEX 2012 to
a more different condition as
our fair became one of the
meeting platforms of Turkish
jewelry now. It undertook a
different mission apart from the
commercial expectations and
purposes.
We experienced the first effects
of these works last year. Our
exhibitors added new dimensions
to their promotions with the
stand arrangements, the samples
of which we saw in the overseas
fairs, and special collections.
Since the arrangements made by
the Genciz Fair Organization
that organized the fair received
appreciation, JEWEX had both
exhibitors and visitors
experience a nice fair period.
As a sector we aimed at making
the JEWEX fair a more active and
successful organization
comparing to the last year and
set higher standards each year.
In this sense, as the Chamber of
Jewellers of Izmir, we are
staying in touch with the
representatives of the sector
and chambers in various cities.
As far as we observed in the
JEWEX 2011, our fair was no
longer a meeting platform for
the companies in the Aegean
region but also a place where
all the regions in Turkey met.
This meeting will range up more
this year.
I wish you all a nice fair
period... |
