The by-invitation-only fine jewelry event “Salon Privé Haute Joaillerie Dubai,” will take place October 18-22, 2009 at the 5-star Madinat Jumeirah. It will offer the high-end jewelry and timepiece and offer designers and manufacturers introductions to new retail business opportunities, according to event organizers.

Salon Privé,  a joint venture between The Nancy Robey Partnership and Turret Middle East, will include a conference program said Nancy Robey. Exhibitors will be limited to 82 designers as well as select high-end non-jewelry sponsors, including other luxury brands, publications and service organizations. 

Approximately 130 international luxury retail companies will be invited by Salon Privé. 

Dubai was selected as the venue because it is at the crossroads of a growing market and provides easy access to jewelers, according to Richard Hease, chairman of Turret Middle East.
