Its amazing how a glass of champagne and a really good band can revive you.  After a long Monday talking to customers and colleagues at The Jewellery Show, exhibitors found a new burst of energy at the party to celebrate the new look International Jewellery London exhibition.

Thank you to Sam Willoughby and all her team at IJL, we look foward to a bright new look show in 2014.
