Kanchan Couture at the Hong Kong Jewelry Fair

So all week we’ve been planning and packing for the Hong Kong Jewelry fair and this time we’re exhibitors for the first time!

Luckily our new products from the Rock Star Collection and Fashion Charms had been finished just in time. Our Fashion Charms have been ‘in the making’ for a few months now and it’s super exciting to see them completed and ready to be worn!

As for our Rock Star Collection we had a few problems but everything came together just in the nick of time and they look amazing!

Setting up was really hectic, but things are more fun that way aren’t they? When you’re rushing to set up and the anticipation of what’s next is exciting.
Kanch and I had a lot of fun prepping our booth, which involved a lot of laughs, setting up our display and tagging all our new jewelry, which was tedious, but hey we got the job done.

My favourite part of setting up was retrieving our 300cm x 300cm poster and trying to put it up on our booth wall. Poor Kanch and I had to try and put up our XXL poster by ourselves but ending up cutting the edges off to make it fit and hey presto it did! How many fashionistas does it take to put up a poster? Just two haha

Fashion Charms Debut!

Our *new Rockstar Collection

It’s currently day 2 at the Jewelry fair as I’m sitting here writing our weekly blog watching hundreds of people from all over the world check out what the HK Jewelry Fair has to offer.

Kanch and I haven’t had a chance to look around yet but we’re going to try and look around today, as some of you know, the HKCEC is huge and usually hosts concerts when exhibitions aren’t being held, so you can imagine how big the halls are!

Stay tuned; we’ll keep you updated!

Love, Petra.

HK Gem & Jewellery Fair

Last week Kanch and I went to the HK Gem and Jewellery Fair. We left at 3 after a bridal consultation with a new client-she was lovely! Then caught a taxi to the HK convention and exhibition center. I told to the taxi driver to go to The Renaissance Harbor view hotel because I didn't know how to say HKCEC in Chinese haha. I said to Kanch that I had only remembered it because of club Tribeca-back in the day and she goes “yeah it was called something else before that ”Club-ING!! I’m sure the Hong Kong bred will know what I mean!
We got out the taxi with our passes in our hands and headed in.
There were people everywhere from all over the world, buyers, manufacturers, from Ukraine, Italy, India and Spain to name a few.
It was super overwhelming but we had a game plan. Kanch wanted to check out the silver jewellery floor-5th so we took the 3 extra long escalators up. These exhibition halls are usually used for concerts so you can imagine how big the halls were.

There was booth after booth, jewellery of different colours, and stones. There were earrings, necklaces, clasps, lockets, photography equipment- I could go on!

This was my first time going to the Jewellery Fair and I really enjoyed it. I really takes a lot out of you, after 1 hall of asking questions, talking to the manufactures and being chased for mine and Kanch’s business card you get a little tired!!
1 hall took us a little over an hour to look through and after the silver jewellery hall, we decided to check out the fine jewellery.

Walking into the second hall was like walking into jewellery heaven. Kanch and I had seen some of the rarest stones and most outrageous pieces yet. The necklaces were oversized and full of diamonds and precious stones. Everything was a lot more extravagant in this hall with rare stones and beautifully cut diamonds.
We were so tired after the second hall, especially since we had done a whole lot of walking that week because we were in Guangzhou doing some sourcing and research. Walking around 5 different malls that are all 3x the size of IFC you do get a little delirious and tired haha.
We decided to call it a day and left the HKCEC. It was such a lovely day and Kanch and I learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. We’ll be back for the next fair and hopefully the Las Vegas one next year!!

Love Petra.
