Talks have been held between Dubai's Gold Jewellery Group and the official centre of Italian jewellery trade, Vicenza.

The UAE is already the second largest consumer of Italian jewellery and the talks were a bid to further improve the relationship between the two jewellery centres. In addition suggestions for an Italian jewellery centre in Dubai were also discussed.

Professor Manuela Dal Lago of Vicenza explained to AME Info: "We have long identified Dubai as an ideal location from which to develop, and extend, the global reach of the Italian jewellery business.

"Dubai is a truly unique jewellery market globally, especially from a manufacturing standpoint."

The groups also discussed a future meeting in Italy to look at a possible Vicenza relocation to Dubai and a high quality jewellery exhibition to be held in Dubai by the two bodies.

High-level representatives from both groups attended the meetings.
