jewellery connoisseurs and deal hunters found a large variety of
jewellery pieces from a hundred to multi-million dollars.

Southeast Asia region like us to
expand our sourcing network. Apart from business deals, we managed
to acquire more information about the market across the region as
well", said Gian Adhitya, Junior Manager of DEPEARL, Indonesia.

jewellery suppliers we want easily", said Weerawat Woramakakun,
business owner of PRAKAIPETCH, Thailand.
