The II International Jewelry Forum was held in Moscow, participants of which discussed the problems facing the jewelry industry of Russia, including ways to enter the international market.
The forum was opened by Gagik Gevorgyan, chairman of the Guild of the Jewelers of Russia Association, reports jewellernet.ru.
At the forum the President of the RF CCI Sergey Katyrin addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. He said that in Russia there are unique materials and there are unique masters able to perform unique works from them. 
In the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, in his opinion, new opportunities and new challenges for the jewelry industry will appear.
The issue of Russian jewelers' access to world markets was also raised.
The necessary participation in exhibitions is an expensive affair, therefore, a government program is needed to support the withdrawal of Russian jewelers to the international arena.
As noted on the form, China did the same, and now its jewelry is in demand all over the world.
The most famous foreign jewelry houses willingly use Russian diamonds, their products are actively bought, but the fact that Russian stones are used in works is known only to a narrow circle of specialists.
In this regard, Sergei Katyrin said that the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation is doing a great job on developing the participation of Russian entrepreneurship in exhibition and fair and congress activities. Consequently, the business working in the jewelry industry has where to turn. This work is also carried out by territorial CCIs. The issue should be solved jointly, he stressed.
