Overwhelming support from the trade in China and overseas has enabled the China International Gold, Jewellery & Gem Fair - Shenzhen to grow rapidly into the key professional jewellery trade fair in China. The success of the first edition in 2003 and the 2nd edition in 2004 was acclaimed by both international and Chinese exhibitors and buyers. They hailed the Fair as a truly international trade event serving the fast-growing domestic market and competitively supplying the needs of international markets. The Fair offers professionals of the world's jewellery trade an opportunity to meet and do business in the vast market of mainland China.

  China International Gold, Jewellery & Gem Fair – Shenzhen has been receiving an enthusiastic response since its inception in 2003. To accommodate the continuous growth on participation, the Fair will be moved to a new venue in 2006 - the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (SZCEC).
  SZCEC is a newly built exhibition centre located in the southern side of Shenzhen Central District and is connected by the Shenzhen subway. It is a multi-functional, up-to-date design exhibition venue with a useable exhibition area of over 110,000 square meters and thus the new fairground will definitely be the right place for the fair expansion.
