The latest research and development on new varieties of gold will be unveiled at an upcoming global event for the gold, jewellery and diamond industries in Dubai.

Organised by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG), the annual eighth Dubai City of Gold Conference will be held on November 13 at Jumeirah Lake Towers.

The showcase will include new gold colors such as purple and blue, gold alloy effects, powder metallurgy, gold based composites and new colored gold coatings.

Future trends in research to produce transparent gold, color changing gold, and functional and smart gold alloys will also be discussed.

New research and development is poised to influence the gold and jewellery markets, consumption and jewelry marketing trends in the near future and will multiply the usage of gold.

Progress on technologies such as textile based, sputtering techniques, laser sintering and nanotechnologies will also be assessed in light of their expected impact on the usage of gold not only in jewellery but also in industry.

The event features 12 globally renowned thought leaders from the global bullion, jewellery and diamond industries.

The conference, divided into three sections, bullion, jewellery and diamonds, will be attended by 450 of the industry’s key stakeholders such as CEOs, analysts, bankers and representatives from the Government of Dubai.

“We are bringing some of the industry’s most influential speakers to Dubai so that they can share their knowledge and provide insights on the latest trends in precious metals and diamonds,” said Anan Fakhreddin, chairman of DGJG.

“I would also like to thank our sponsors, Dubai Multi Commodities Exchange, Emirates NBD, Standard Bank and the Kaloti Group for their continued commitment and support to this event – which further cement’s Dubai’s leadership position in the gold and jewellery trade.” – TradeArabia News Service
