Şermin Cengiz: “We have been moving forward with growing synergy since 1986”

Co-Founder of IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show, Şermin Cengiz, shared key insights about the 58th edition: “Since 1986, we have been moving forward with greater synergy each year. We take great pride in bringing the global jewelry industry together once again in Istanbul. Last year, Türkiye’s jewelry sector achieved an export volume of USD 7.48 billion, and it aims to maintain this level of success this year as well. As IJS, we are proud to contribute to the industry by increasing its export potential, creating new business opportunities, and helping our exhibitors strengthen their position in the market.
The synergy created at IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show adds value to the global jewelry sector on an international scale — from Türkiye to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.”
