Exclusively endorsed by the Singapore Jewellers Association and the Diamond Exchange of Singapore, the fair presents buyers with unique opportunities to acquire desirable jewels directly from reputable jewellery manufacturers and wholesalers from around the world.
“The third edition of Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair will present a greater variety of jewellery, bigger surprises and more business and trading opportunities than the previous two editions.
