The 14th edition of Asia’s Fashion Jewellery & Accessories Fair – September (9FJ) runs Sept. 13-16 at AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong. 9FJ houses around 400 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions in 11,360 square meters exhibition space. More than 80 percent of the exhibitors are from overseas; among them are companies from mainland China, Italy, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, Thailand, UK, U.S., Hong Kong and Taiwan regions. More than 6,600 buyers are expected to visit 9FJ.

9FJ is the source for all kinds of fashion jewellery and accessories for every budget. The four-day event features an exciting lineup of attractions, including five group pavilions, representing mainland China, India, Korea, the Philippines and Taiwan region. The popular Stainless Steel Jewellery Pavilion gathers around 40 quality suppliers.

Teaming up with the editors of AFJA Review, Editor’s Choice is a new addition to 9FJ. Exhibitors’ products, selected by the editors, are displayed under four categories, namely stainless steel, natural materials, crystals and semiprecious stones, and pearls and imitation pearls. This special display presents visitors inspired choices and a peek at up-and-coming trends. “We are delighted to collaborate with the editors of AFJA Review again. The launch of Editor’s Choice is a result of feedback from buyers and part of our effort to enhance attractions at 9FJ,” said Ms Celine Lau, director of Jewellery Fairs at UBM Asia Ltd.

“September is a prime time for stocking for the holidays and sourcing for Spring/Summer 2017 collections,” Ms Lau continued. “And with 9FJ being held alongside the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, buyers can tap opportunities in two shows, in one trip.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
