As sponsors of the event, IBGM and nine prominent Brazilian jewellery companies will host a Brazilian Celebration, “the celebracao,” with Brazilian cuisine, signature drinks and native music from 6 pm to 7pm. The event aims to strengthen the image of Brazilian jewellery in the American market, which accounts for 49 percent of the sector’s exports.

The Couture Design Awards, considered the “Oscars” of the jewellery industry, will take place during Couture, one of the most important jewellery fairs in the world, to be held June 2 to 6, at the Wynn Hotel.

During the event, Brazilian jewellery will be presented by models to a group of about 500 opinion makers, from industry professionals to journalists. Companies participating in the event will also meet potential customers and take part in extensive marketing efforts through FIT.

The relationship with FIT, one of the most important fashion institutes in the world, began in 2010, after a symposium promoted by ApexBrasil (The Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) for representatives of the main fashion associations in Brazil.
