Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but pearls and precious gems don’t hurt either! And we always want new designs, better quality and better prices too. That’s exactly what you get at the International Jewellery, Pearl and Gems Fair in Hyderabad. Agreed, most people at the fair would be those trading in these sparklers, but you would benefit a lot in terms of getting an advance dekko at new designs and styles as well as better prices.

If you are in the gems and jewellery business, then a Hyderabad trip at the time of the festival is a must for you. Whether you are an exhibitor or a buyer or just attracted to all that glitter and luminosity, buy a ticket to Hyderabad right away and go see the International Jewellery Fair.

A variety of Hyderabad’s famous pearl jewellery will be on display at the fair

There are about 4000 participants who set up their stalls in the most lavish way at the venue. The event is held at a well-planned exhibition site offering good infrastructure facilities like air-conditioned halls, open display areas, conference halls and a car park to accommodate the people coming in.

All About the International Jewellery Fair

The International Jewellery Fair in Hyderabad is a premier expo in the jewellery universe. Being a trade fair, the event also invites participation from packaging solution providers and gems and jewellery related software services providers. Since its inaugural session in 2008, the fair has been regularly attracting over 150 professional exhibitors who bring with them a fantastic array of jewellery products.

Expect to see everything from diamond encrusted jewellery, pearl jewellery, loose gemstones and gem-encrusted jewellery to elegantly designed silver jewellery. Exhibitors and manufacturers take special care to display new, avant-garde jewellery styles to catch the interest of scores of international and domestic buyers and you can get a feel of what is to come in the next season.

Some exquisite silver jewellery will also be on display

The fair is divided over into ‘Country Pavilions’ giving you a chance to see traditional and contemporary jewellery styles from different places. You can browse through hundreds of stalls displaying brave new styles in jewellery and accessories and interact with buyers from countries like Hong Kong, USA, Thailand and Sri Lanka.

Get About in Hyderabad

Hyderabad is one of the most vibrant cities south of the Vindhyas and there is a lot to see here for a Hyderabad tourist. Pick from the top attractions in the city on your Hyderabad trip:

-   Charminar – The iconic structure irrevocably associated with Hyderabad

-   Golconda Fort – The majestic fort which is a real treat for the eyes

-   Spanish Mosque – A surprising Andalucian style Mosque in the middle of Begumpet

-  Salar Jung Museum – It is hard to imagine that every piece in this museum was collected by just one person: Nawab Mir Yousef Ali Khan Salar Jung, the Prime Minister of the 7th Nizam.

If I were you I’d definitely pick the Salar Jung Museum for its jade encrusted daggers and antique jewellery. What would resonate better with the theme of my visit – the jewellery fair! I would also refuse to come back without sampling some of the delicious Hyderabadi biryani! Share your Hyderabad trip experiences with us, we’re all ears.
