The Big Smoke served as the backdrop to CJ Expos-Toronto, held last weekend.
The show took place in the wake of the news that Martin Ross Group, one of Canada’s major jewellery manufacturers, had filed for protection from creditors, leaving some to wonder about the impact on the industry, particularly in the highly competitive bridal market.
Ongoing concerns over undisclosed synthetic diamonds, as well as low margins on rough diamonds, were also on the minds of many.
For all the news and highlights, stay tuned for the October issue of Jewellery Business.
