“Thailand’s Magic Hands: The Spirit of Jewelry Making”

Thailand’s Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), organizer of the show, will present Thailand’s “Magic Hands”, a global campaign to highlight the country’s exceptional craftsmanship.

“For many decades, Thailand has been well recognized all over the world as a manufacturer of quality jewelry with beautiful designs and intricate craftsmanship. Over the years, stakeholders in the gems and jewelry industry, from craftspeople, designers, manufacturers, and traders have constantly developed their skills while seeking innovation that will uplift the industry to new heights. Today, I would rate Thai-made jewelry as one of the leading products from the country which has brought much pride and joy to all Thais,” said Ms. Banjongjitt Angsusingh, Director General, Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce, Thailand.

‘Thailand’s Magic Hands Campaign’ aims to gain international recognition for the Thai gems and jewelry industry, which is the country’s third highest export earnings. The campaign artworks reiterate the strengths of Thailand’s gems and jewelry industry, connecting the spirit of jewelry making to the traditional way of life and advanced skills of making intricate creations. It is synchronization of hands and mind of Thai artisans that give life to objects, a distinctive feature found in Thai arts from fruit carving, mural painting to high jewelry making.

Thai craftsmen

Key market buyers including the U.S., EU, India, Australia, Hong Kong, will source the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair – one of the world’s leading gem and jewelry trade fairs, open to the trade and general public. The Fair will present a vast selection of gold and silver jewelry, gem-set jewelry and polished precious and semi-precious stones, as well as state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.

Thailand is celebrated for its skills in manufacturing a wide range of colored gemstones, including rubies and sapphires. In 2017, the country was among world’s top ten gems and jewelry exporters in terms of volume, with total exports of $12 billion. The Southeast Asian country is an expanding jewelry hub recognized for excellent quality manufacturing and design in gemstones and jewelry.
