Editor’s Note
This article explores cost-effective alternatives for purchasing wedding jewelry, highlighting the upcoming Hong Kong International Jewellery Show as a potential venue for finding quality pieces at competitive prices.
Many newlyweds ask friends to borrow VIP cards to buy wedding jewelry at jewelry stores, hoping for discounts to save on their wedding budget. In fact, to buy high-quality, reasonably priced wedding jewelry, you don’t necessarily have to go to jewelry stores. Shopping at jewelry exhibitions can be even more convenient than using a VIP card at any time!
The Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will be held from the 24th to the 27th of this month at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. This large-scale jewelry exhibition will feature over 700 exhibitor booths, many of which will offer special-priced jewelry debut pieces. Among them, the diamond wedding ring (specified style) from Ancient Jewellery Company Limited will be as low as HK$1,998 (original price HK$8,118). Additionally, the diamond bracelet from Pin (Hong Kong) Ltd. will be as low as HK$1,688 (original price $5,888).
In addition to the discounted debut jewelry pieces for sale, the exhibition will also feature the Hong Kong Jewelry Little Sister selection, showcasing various practical debut pieces for everyone. It will also feature a fashion show by renowned fashion designer Mak Siu Chi, presenting his latest wedding jewelry series. For the model lineup, please welcome Little Sisters Yoyo Mung, Cammi Tse, model Mani S. Kwan, and Little Sister Rosemary.
The exhibition will also host the “Smart Shopping Tips” seminar, chaired by Mr. Au Ting Hang, a senior professional gem appraiser. The “Gem Knowledge Encyclopedia” seminar will be chaired by Mr. Tsui Kin Fai, also a senior professional gem appraiser, teaching everyone to recognize high-quality jewelry and be smart consumers.
Starting today, as long as you [click here] to go to the discussion area and press “Like,” you will have the chance to win two VIP passes for the jewelry exhibition (each valued at HK$80). At that time, you can enter the VIP lounge at the venue, participate in the beauty lucky draw, and receive water bottle gifts. The number of passes is limited, first come first served, until supplies last.
