The İstanbul Jewelry Fair, one of the largest jewelry fairs in the world, opens its doors today with an all-time-high number of exhibitors at İstanbul’s CNR Exposition Center.
There are 1,166 firms participating in the fair as exhibitors, of which 642 are domestic companies and 524 foreign, hailing from 29 countries. The fair will run through March 30, with more than 30,000 sector professionals expected to visit. Last year, 31,761 people attended the fair, including 1,200 foreign professionals.
Turkey, one of the world leaders in jewelry design and export, brings producers, designers and buyers together at this yearly event.
Damra Pırlanta, whose collection was designed by famous designer Cemil İpekçi, has one of the most attractive stands with 100 new jewelry designs after İpekçi signed a three-year contract with the company.
This year, Belgium, China, Spain and Italy have country stands at the fair.
