The Malaysia International Jewelry Fair 2009

  • July 24, 2009 at 11:49 AM

The event is indeed a grand affair, judging from the numbers of exhibitors and visitors, both the general public and trade buyers. The annual Malaysia International Jewelry Fair is one that many wouldn’t miss, and the event for year 2009 promised us a grand opening.

Those who attended the first day of the opening will chance upon Her Royal Highness the Raja Perempuan of Perlis Tuanku Tengku Fauziah binti Al-Marhum Tengku Abd. Rashid, the Guest of Honor for the opening ceremony. Among all the honored guests and performers are International model Amber Chia, local singer Dato’ Hajag Sheila Majid and violinist/DJ Joanne Yeoh.

There are more than 70 exhibitors present, representatives of jewelry retailers, wholesalers, even jewelry-related services, including jewelry purity analysis. Among the participants are Gemology Institute of America (GIA) and their newly-opened Thailand laboratory and gemology campus. There were gem wholesalers from Sri Lanka and Myanmar, jewelry manufacturers and retailers from Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and of course, a few of our very own local retailers. Guangzhou Xi Hou’s is one of the few featuring Chinese carvings and handicrafts from jade and other precious stones.

For those who came as trade buyers, they will surely not miss the seminar by GIA’s acclaimed gemologist, Mr. Alexander Ross, one on the 10th July, on selling jewelry and product knowledge for trade buyers, and the other on the 11th July for gem connoisseurs, about rubies and it significance as talismans, simple accessories, even engagement rings.

And in the end, when visitors are tired at the end of the exhibition, Asia Spa is just at the end of the hall, offering visitors a free massage session, while promoting their latest packages for an all-natural herbal therapy and spas.

The Malaysia International Jewelry Fair is held at the 4th and 5th Hall of the KL Convention Center, brought to you by Elite Expo Sdn. Bhd. while supported by Tourism Malaysia and MATRADE.

The 9th KL Wedding Expo 2009

  • July 17, 2009 at 1:52 PM

Models with crystal head accessories, dressed in stunning wedding gowns and evening dresses, courtesy of Keith Kee, are quite the crowd-pulling effect for the 9th KL Wedding Expo. The fashion show marks both days of the wedding expo, along with live band performances and a lucky draw with honeymoon packages waiting to be claimed, sponsored by PYT Travels.

This year though, the expo is on a smaller scale, held only in Hall 1. However, the effect it has, and the crowd attracted, is nothing small. Participating bridal studios include almost every studio existing around KL. And wedding photography is not the only promotion on. In fact, a few also have promotions for individual photography packages and group photography packages, especially for brides who’d want to keep a beautiful album of themselves and their girl friends before the wedding. Such a package will cost about RM500+ to RM800+, depending on number of photos and costumes provided.

Aside from the promotional packages and the bridal fashion show, the elaborately decorated events management booth right at the entrance is itself an attraction, as well as a testimony of the management’s skills venue and event preparation.

The 9th KL Wedding Expo is organized by Harenet Communications Sdn. Bhd., who had organized the previous KL Wedding Expo, and whose profile includes a number of other well-known events like the Parenthood Expo and Mami & Baby Fair.
