great features like delicious food trucks, coffee
carts, a bar and freshly shucked oysters,” she
said.
“It’s really going to be an event you won’t
want to miss!”
The exhibitors we spoke to also gave us a taste
of what they’re keen to showcase.
Miriam said that Grown Diamonds will present
a range of their exquisite lab grown diamonds
in a range of cuts, colours, clarities and carats.
“We will be promoting an eco-friendly
standard to jewellery making materials at the
best prices with our 5-star customer service,”
she said.

gold, handset with GHSI diamonds and natural
gemstones.
“These pieces can be sold individually or as a

Jo said that Najo will be exhibiting AQUA: their
new collection of sterling silver and stone-set

“We will also be displaying all the Najo bestselling

and zircons, among many others.
For Ted, it’s going to be
primarily about Fortune
Opal’s Lightning Ridge

offer covering commercial
grade right through to
collector’s pieces.
“We will also have a

to see more of,” he said.

It’s been so long, hope to see you at
the Fair
After so long apart, the Jewellery Industry Fair
also gives exhibitors the chance to see familiar
faces again along with opportunities to see
new faces and make new connections. Jo
said she’d of course love to find new retailers,
but said that one of the things she loved
about trade fairs is the sharing of knowledge,
contacts and networking.
“You will always find new leads and learn
something,” she said. “I think the jewellery
industry is very collaborative like that and I
think that this Fair has the Industry at heart.”
Along a similar note, Darren said after a long
pandemic-induced absence, his team at
Cudworth is looking forward to reconnecting
with their valued retail partners as well as
other suppliers.
