Canadian Jeweller Magazine has announced the dates and venues for this year’s Time & Shine Jewellery Trade Shows – the largest jewellery and watch trade shows in Canada.
The Edmonton event is scheduled for July 21-22 at the Edmonton Metro Convention Centre, followed by the Toronto show on August 18-19 at the International Center.
These events are set to provide a platform for suppliers and retailers in the jewellery industry to connect, explore new products, and establish business relationships.
Key Industry Gathering
Olivier Felicio, CEO of Canadian Jeweller Magazine, emphasised the importance of these events, stating, “Time & Shine Trade Shows are pivotal events for the jewellery industry in Canada. Without such trade shows, our industry and consumers would suffer, becoming dependent on other markets and losing our Canadian jewellery identity. Canada is an amazing market to do business in – it is safe, vibrant, diverse, and driven by youth. Our goal is to create a vibrant marketplace where jewellery suppliers can showcase their latest collections and innovations to store owners and industry professionals. These shows are essential for fostering growth and collaboration within the industry.”
Opportunities for Suppliers and Retailers
The trade shows are expected to attract a broad spectrum of exhibitors, including leading international jewellery and watch brands, as well as emerging designers. Attendees will have the opportunity to discover new products, attend educational seminars, and participate in networking events. These seminars will cover key topics such as market trends, digital transformation, and customer engagement strategies, equipping retailers with the knowledge they need to succeed in a competitive market.
Prominent Sponsors and Networking Opportunities
The events will feature national and international leading sponsors, including U-Boat, Beverly Hills Jewellers, Dioro Jewellery, Elle Jewelry, Thomas Sabo, Zeghani, Bering Watch, Nivoda, Mercury Ring, Tamar, Precious Color, DSM Pacific Diamonds, Rembrandt Charms, and Heera Moti Diamond NY. These sponsors will be available for interviews, offering insights into the latest industry developments and innovations.
Fostering Canadian Jewellery Identity
Felicio further commented on the unique and diverse nature of Canada’s jewellery market, stating, “Canada’s jewellery market is unique and diverse, and it is crucial to maintain our identity by supporting local businesses and providing them with the opportunities to thrive. The Time & Shine Jewellery Trade Shows are designed to empower Canadian jewellers, ensuring they remain competitive and independent. By bringing together the best in the industry, we are fostering a community that values craftsmanship, innovation, and collaboration.”
