Belgian Jewelers to Make Unusually Fine Showing at the International Exhibition at Antwerp Next Year
BRUSSELS, May 20.—Belgian jewelers are commencing in earnest the organization of their participation in the International Exhibition to be held from April to October, 1930, at Antwerp, in. celebration of the centenary of Belgium’s independence. They are determined to make their show a fully representative one, and no expense is to be spared in demonstrating to the thousands of foreign visitors who are expected at the exhibition that Belgian jewelry compares favorably with that manufactured in any other part of the world. The organizers have the records of the Antwerp jewelry exhibition of 1920 and the magnificent jewelry procession of a few years ago to help them in their task and they will endeavor to impress on all concerned that their industry is one in which quality cannot be sacrificed to price.
In one exhibit, which will probably be the greatest attraction of the group, the public will be given the opportunity of seeing diamonds extracted from the mines, and of afterward following the stones through the cutting and the various processes which end with mounting. M. Massaux, the secretary of the Master Jewelers Syndicate, has received assurances from the finest Belgian jewelers that they will closely cooperate in making the exhibition a striking success.
