Having Art Deco-style influences, this year’s exhibition will be held in halls 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and offer brand new features such as a VIP room to network and relax. A dedicated wristwatch area will also be set up for enthusiasts and collectors. Returning highlights include the Rising Stars pavilion, featuring young jewellery designers, and the popular Gold Souk.
