On Sunday, February 6, the exhibition "JUNWEX Petersburg 2022" completed its work, which was held in the difficult conditions of quarantine and entry into the State Integrated Information System for Control over the Circulation of Precious Metals and Precious Stones (SIIS).

As part of the business program of the exhibition, a joint meeting of the Council of the Guild of Jewelers of Russia and the Russian Jewelry Trade Club was held with the participation of heads of regional public organizations of the industry, representatives of jewelry production and trade. The discussion of how to improve the SIIS ended with practical recommendations that the Guild will pass on to the project developers and relevant government agencies.
