Doha: Unique pieces by Qatari designers and new, international luxury brands will be among the highlights at the upcoming 18th Doha Jewellery and Watches exhibition (DJWE).
DJWE will also reflect the cultural heritage of glamour and craftsmanship and will introduce the successful Young Qatari designers. It will showcase over 500 brands where local talents, international designers, global brands and jewellery aficionados are all set for the return of the exhibit after a one-year hiatus.
The event is set from May 9 to 12 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) in West Bay.
The high-profile gathering for jewellery aficionados, global brands, and aspiring designers will continue to be the heart of glamour, where exclusivity, beauty, art, legacy, and unique craftsmanship come together to tell the unforgettable story behind each jewel, said Qatar Tourism on its website.
Registration to attend the free-of-charge exhibition has been launched at Visit Qatar's website. The 18th edition will host more than 65 exhibitors from over 10 countries; 500 renowned international brands; exclusive pavilions for Turkey and India with five and 18 exhibitors respectively; and workshops with jewellery and watches experts.
