From 11 to 12 June 2013, big-name brands and designers will come together at the trade buying event for retailers to source their autumn/winter 2013 and spring 2014 collections.
i2i has announced further investment for the 2013 show, via a major hosted buyer programme, to ensure that numerous members from the biggest buying groups in the country – such as the Houlden Group and the Company of Master Jewellers – will be in attendance at both editions of the show.
CEO of the Houlden Group Stuart Laing remarked: “Houldens were very impressed with the show last year and it allowed us to show off our Designs of Excellence initiative to the trade. From a buyer’s perspective it let us view suppliers and potential suppliers who do not visit our members’ buying meeting, so it was a useful add-on.”
Brands already confirmed to be in attendance at the show include: Ferrara Gife Gioielli SAS di Ferrara Luigi; Anna Faine Jewellery; London Road Jewellery; Ikuria; Erica Sharpe Fine Jewellery; Zarafa; Since 1853; Parure Paris; R M Shah Ltd; La Perle Blanche; Chavin Jewellery; Solitaire; Gemmological Laboratories Ltd; the Assay Office; Wedds & Co; The Real Pearl Co; OCD; Lucet Mundi; Virtue London; Toregon Swiss; Antwerp Diamonds; Stuart Moore; Lalique; Alfred Terry; Stormbrand Ltd; and Pomegranate.
British Jewellers’ Association (BJA) chief executive Simon Rainer welcomed the announcement: “The BJA is very pleased to see the major commitment i2i Events Group is making to strengthen the UK industry through on-going investment in the Jewellery Show brand. The events offer superb product sourcing and networking opportunities that span the entire UK jewellery trade.”
