The 63rd edition of the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair (BGJF), which will take place from February 20th to 24th, 2019 at Challenger Hall 1-3, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, Bangkok, will showcase extraordinary Thai skills in jewellery making, ready to serve a global audience.
Thailand’s Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), organiser of the show, will present Thailand’s “Magic Hands”, a global campaign to highlight the country’s exceptional craftsmanship.
“For many decades, Thailand has been well recognised all over the world as a manufacturer of quality jewellery with beautiful designs and intricate craftsmanship. Over the years, stakeholders in the gems and jewellery industry, from craftspeople, designers, manufacturers, and traders, have constantly developed their skills while seeking innovation that will uplift the industry to new heights. Today, I would rate Thai-made jewellery as one of the leading products from the country which has brought much pride and joy to all Thais,” said Banjongjitt Angsusingh, director general, DITP, ministry of commerce, Thailand.
The Magic Hands campaign aims to gain international recognition for the Thai gems and jewellery industry, which is the country’s third-highest export earnings. The campaign artworks reiterate strengths of Thailand’s gems and jewellery industry, connecting the spirit of jewellery making to the traditional way of life and advanced skills of making intricate creations.
The Bangkok Fair, which is open to the trade and general public, will present a vast selection of gold and silver jewellery, gem-set jewellery and polished precious and semi-precious stones, as well as state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.
