Dear friends and customers,

During the months of January and February we attended three exhibitions of Gold, Platinum, White Gold and Silver Jewellery, Clocks and Watches, Precious Stones, Jewellery Shop Equipment and Fittings. From the experience we gained from these exhibitions is that the interest for 2008 is jade. We had many sales and many clients placed various orders asking jade in several different designs and special cuts.

Ambiente Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany, February 8-11, 2008
Five days of sunshine over Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre and five days of high spirits at Ambiente. By the time it closed its doors on Tuesday evening, the international consumer-goods fair in Frankfurt, had once again attracted almost 150,000 visitors. The fair was given a positive rating by almost all participants on both the exhibitor and visitor sides. Sustainability, elegance, clarity and luxury – the new trend is towards sophistication and premium quality. The age of retro and baroque is past. 2008 will be a year of self-assured elegance. Modern, clear and natural lines are the determining characteristics. Less is more – and better. At the same time, people are becoming more socially aware and desirous of a more 'natural' lifestyle.
