Jewels of the World debuts show in Riyadh

RIYADH: Beneath crystal chandeliers and gleaming display cases filled with diamonds, pearls, and gemstones, visitors are moving between jewelry brands in Riyadh this week searching for something more than precious metals. Industry leaders say Saudi consumers are looking beyond precious metals and gemstones, placing greater value on craftsmanship, originality, and personal meaning. That is all on display at Jewels of the World Fine Jewelry, which has opened at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah.
