Attention from overseas! A wide variety of increasingly popular pearls are on display!
*Duration: Wednesday, January 17, 2024 – Saturday, January 20, 2024 / Venue: Tokyo Big Sight / Organizer: RX Japan Co., Ltd.*
RX Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Tanaka
Takeshi) will hold the “35th International Jewelry Exhibition” at Tokyo Big Sight for four days from Wednesday, January 17th to Saturday, January 20th, 2024.
Currently, the price of pearls is soaring. The soaring price is due to the mass death of 70% of young pearl oysters around Ago Bay in Mie Prefecture due to a virus and other factors four years ago. Coupled with the ongoing shortage and the effects of the weak yen, the price of pearls continues to soar.
In recent years, jewelry using pearls has become increasingly popular, with demand from overseas in particular increasing explosively. Overseas buyers, who had drastically decreased due to the coronavirus pandemic, are buying up high-quality domestic pearls in Japan.
Furthermore, in Japan, demand for pearl jewelry, which is a
sustainable resource, is increasing as SDGs are being advocated these days. As genderless jewelry, we have probably become accustomed to seeing male celebrities wearing pearl jewelry.
This exhibition will feature a wide variety of pearls, including Akoya pearls, black lipped pearls, and freshwater pearls. We would like to introduce some of the jewelry using pearls from the products exhibited at the International Jewelry Exhibition, Japan’s largest *jewelry festival.
