Tony, founder and CEO of Vega Intertrade and Exhibitions, organisers of the event, said, “Muscat has a large population of high-net-worth individuals, making it the country’s most populous city. It also has the advantages of being in a prime geographical location, proximity to the major population centres, a well-developed infrastructure and comprehensive business facilities making it ideal to host the exhibition.”
Tony also said that the exhibition this year has been redesigned to offer visitors a convenient shopping experience. “Not only does the show feature exciting new pavilions, but it has been completely redesigned for a more convenient shopping experience. The fair will also stage its first runway show as part of the 10th year celebrations.”
Speaking of the pavilions and their unique offerings, Tony said that the Europe Pavilion boasts of an exceptional customer service. “The European pavilion will showcase an incomparable selection of designs from engagement rings, diamonds and other fine jewellery pieces.”
While the couture pieces, everyday classics or the more unconventional styles can be seen at the Hong Kong pavilion, the Indian pavilion is showcasing a wide range of quality, designer timepieces and jewellery in gold, silver and diamond.
Tony said that MIJEX always mixes business with pleasure.
“For this tenth edition, the Tourism Authority of Thailand will give a chance to two visitors to win a luxury trip to Thailand for 4 days and 3 nights and hotel stay. Also, ‘Jewellery for Kings’ Salem al Shueibi Jewellery will be organising a raffle draw for a lucky visitor who will get a chance to own one of their precious handcrafted jewellery,” he said.
