Speaking at the opening of the International Jewellery Congress of CIBJO, the chairman of the Russian Jewellers Guild Association Gagik Gevorkyan announced two proposals to the international jewellery community.
“The first proposal is related to the fact that jewellers do not have an official professional holiday,” - Gagik Gevorkyan stated. “It would be reasonable on the part of CIBJO to apply to UNESCO with a proposal to establish the International Day of Jewellers. Hopefully, during the congress you will share suggestions regarding the date with the organizing committee.”
Gagik Gevorkyan’s second proposal is associated with the idea of establishing an International Jewellery Award of CIBJO, which would serve as a kind of "Jewellery Oscar." According to the chairman of the Board of the Russian Jewellers Guild, this award would "unite the winners of world's jewelry exhibitions and sel ect “the best of the best.”
International Jewelry CIBJO Congress is held in Moscow for the first time, scheduled on 17 - 21 May and hosted by the Russian Jewellers Guild. Delegations fr om 23 countries gathered and came to Moscow in order to participate in the Congress.
