Jovella jewelry and diamond trade fair to be held in Tel Aviv on July 2-3

Organizers of Israel’s international jewelry and diamond exhibition, Jovella, say this year's show is to be held on July 2-3 in Tel Aviv.

Jovella provides an opportunity for Israeli and foreign buyers to become familiar with Israel’s diamond and jewelry industries, and to meet designers and manufacturers.

This year's event will include around 250 exhibitors from Israel and abroad, who will be displaying a wide range of goods, including loose diamonds, gold jewelry, gold set with diamonds or precious stones, silver jewelry, silver combined with gold and gemstones, and fashion jewelry.

The 2013 show will again have a special section dedicated to the work of young Israeli jewelry designers who will display original gold, silver and diamond jewelry.

Organizer Israela Stier predicts a record turnout of buyers from abroad. The 2012 fair attracted more than 12,000 trade visitors, including buyers, retailers, and media representatives from Israel and overseas.

Israel's largest jewelry export market is the United States, followed by Europe and the Far East. Among other important markets are Russia, Britain, Hong Kong, Canada, Belgium, Italy, Spain, France, and Japan.

Among the organizations promoting the 10th edition of the fair are the Israel Jewelry Manufacturers’ Association, the Israel Diamond Institute, Israel's Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor, and the Israel Export and International Cooperation Institute.
