International Baltic Jewellery Show "Amber Trip"
XVI International Baltic Jewellery Show Amber Trip. What surprises should you expect?
On March 13-16, 2019, the largest international jewellery and amber show Amber Trip in the Baltic States will be held in Vilnius. This is an exclusive event bringing together professional jewellers, designers and customers from the outermost countries of the world. The trends in the global jewellery and amber market, the most advanced jewellery industry technologies and the latest pieces of work of professional jewellers will be exhibited here. As every year, there will be a great number of events dedicated to both, jewellery professionals as well as exhibitors and visitors.
The total area of Amber Trip show, which will take place in Litexpo, the largest exhibition and congress centre in the Baltic States, will cover 6.6 thousand sq. meters this year, including 2.7 thousand sq. meters of exposition. More than half (about 60%) of the exposition area will be given to amber and about 40% will be given to jewellery articles.
Nearly 220 jewellery and amber business participants from 30 countries of the world, including the Baltic States, Poland, Turkey, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, the USA, Japan, India, South Africa, Mexico, have been invited to the XVI International Baltic Jewellery Show. It is expected that over half a thousand important buyers (wholesalers, museologists, collectors, raw material suppliers and customers) will pay a visit to the show.
“The goal of the show is to create a special environment allowing each of the participant or guest to feel feels like home, no matter what continent they came from. We strive for it every year, which makes a difference between us and other shows. Amber Trip will always be a bridge connecting Europe and other countries of the world,” says Giedrius Guntorius, Amber Trip organiser.
As Amber Trip attracts a growing number of visitors from the Middle East each year, for the first time a Prayer House will be established at the show.
During this special event, international seminars will be held on topical issues of jewellery and amber. One of the events will host geologists from Belarus who will share their findings of amber research.
A day before the opening of the show, on March 12, the Raw Trade platform for the buyers and sellers of amber raw material will be launched. Major raw material suppliers from Russia, Ukraine, Poland and well known amber raw material dealers will gather at the Raw Trade.
Exclusive attention will be paid to visitors of the exhibition. Professional stylists will advise you on how to select the most appropriate piece of jewellery and what you should focus on when buying it. Hallmarking experts will assist you in verifying the composition and authenticity of the jewellery product you have. Visitors will have a chance to get nice surprises to discover the world of jewellery.
The international jewellery art competition will be the star attraction of the event. This year, Amber Trip is announcing a jewellery art competition for a social theme titled Random Rapid Heartbeats.
The international competition jury will choose the winners of the jewellery art competition in five categories. The winners of the contest and their pieces of work will be featured in the Baltic Jewellery News magazine, and the Grand Prix winner will receive a place to present himself and his works at the 2020 Amber Trip. After the competition, the works will be exhibited at various jewellery shows in Europe, including the Legnica Jewellery Festival, as well as in Lithuanian galleries. The photos of the works introduced in the competition will be published in the social media of Amber Trip and Baltic Jewellery News magazine.
In 2018, the XV International Baltic Jewellery Show attracted about nearly 200 participants and over 500 VIP customers. The exhibition was visited by 5.8 thousand visitors, or by 5% more than a year ago.
