We love the Hong Kong show very much. It's the perfect place to do business and meet customers from everywhere. Our showcase has attracted strong buyers' interest again this year in our Mediterranean red coral. Customers from Mainland China, India and the Philippines are still the biggest buyers. Sales response has been very encouraging. We've also received enquiries from several USA buyers. Sales from Hong Kong's exhibition contributes more than 20% of our business. This show is really important for business expansion.

As a long-time exhibitor for 10 years, Japan Auction House has been growing together with the Hong Kong show and capitalising on this solid trading platform to meet international customers. We've concluded business with many buyers again this year and recorded a 20% increase in the sales of our diamonds mainly in the size of one carat to three carats. This is an exceptional result. Buyers are coming from different places including India, Mainland China, Vietnam, Israel and UAE. Indian customers are the most aggressive buyers. We are very satisfied with the exhibition."
