SHARJAH (ALETIHAD)
The 56th Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show, the region’s largest gold and jewellery trade event, is attracting thousands of visitors exploring the latest trends in luxury watches, gold, diamond jewellery and precious stones.
Organised by Expo Centre Sharjah with the support of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), the 30,000-square-metre exhibition brings together more than 500 exhibitors, including designers, manufacturers and global jewellery houses.
One of the show's highlights was Al Romaizan Gold and Jewellery’s Dubai Dress, officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s heaviest pure 21-carat gold dress. Weighing more than 10 kilograms and valued at Dh4.6 million, it was unveiled during a dedicated ceremony.
Another highlight was Arabia Jewels’ debut of the Wahaj Al Arabia pure gold collection, including the Miryah Wahaj Al Arabia, the world’s largest gold mirror weighing over three kilograms.
Developed with Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services and crafted by people of determination, the piece showcases inclusive partnerships that combine cultural value with social impact.
