USA:ICA Pavilion plans to partake at International Jewellery Show in Tokyo July 29, 2005

The International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) will have largest-ever pavilion at the upcoming International Jewellery Tokyo (IJT) show, to be held from January 25-28, 2006. The pavilion will cover close to 250 square meters and include up to 30 booths for ICA members compared to 19 booths at the last IJT show. “They are very excited that ICA’s presence at the upcoming IJT show is growing.” IJT has been one of the first international trade shows to provide ICA members with their own pavilion, and, obviously, the arrangement has been beneficial for both sides,” ICA Executive Director Barbara Lipatapanlop stated. “Visitors at IJT have come to recognize our pavilion as the most important buyers’ hub for colored gemstones and the prime source for quality goods and services. As the Japanese gem and jewelry market is still struggling to shake itself free from the economic slowdown, buyers need to make sure that their purchases are right on target. Our pavilion and our participating members offer that assurance,” she added. Lipatapanlop said that other ICA members interested in exhibiting at IJT should submit application forms as soon a possible, as they will receive a special booth package for the ICA Pavilion that includes several privileges such as special ICA booth decorations, and an especially long showcase.
