The Philippines is now being recognized as a top Asian supplier of export quality jewelry to Italy, thanks to the continuous efforts of Philippine Ambassador to Italy Philippe J. Lhuillier.
In 2003, the Philippines exported US$1, 814, 964 worth of precious, beautifully and meticulously crafted jewelry. This figure reflects an increase of 33.53 percent over the country’s 2002 exports of US 1,359,262.
This improvement in trade is attributed to the continuing presence of the Philippines in the leading Italian jewelry fairs, more specifically, the annual Vicenza trilogy of fairs which include; Vicenza Oro 1 in January, Vicenza Oro 2 in June and Orogemma in September. These fairs are the leading international exhibitions of gold, jewelry, silverware, watches and jewelry production machinery.
Six companies joined the recently concluded CITEM-organized Philippine Participation to Vicenza Oro1, last 11-18 January, which generated US$241,000 total negotiated sales and about US$193,300 which are under negotiations. This participation was coordinated by PTIC Milan/ PE Rome. The fair attracted 21,000 trade visitors coming from Italy and from 127 foreign countries.
Ambassador Lhuillier has shown unflinching support in highlithing the country’s jewelry artisans and their world-class products as he continues to make continues representations with the management of these fairs and exhibitions. Infact, the present well-located Philippine stand in Pavillion G1 has been attributed to the ambassador’s efforts.
He has been promoting the jewelry industry in cooperation with the Department of Trade and Industry and the Guild of Philippine Jewelers, among others, since the first participation of the country in this fairs in September 2001. Aside from these fairs, Ambassador Lhuillier also opened doors for the country’s jewelry industry.
The Philippine jewelry industry employs more than 100,000 literate and qualified workers with high quality yield. The Philippine jewelry Training Center in Meycauyan, Bulacan and San Eligius Jewelry Training Center located at the DTI Cottage Industry Technology Center in Marikina were specifically established to upgrade the skills of the jewelry workers and improved their productivity.
Meycauyan is the traditional jewelry industrial district of the Philippines and the Meycauyan Jewelry Industry Association (MJIA) is the manager of the Philippine Jewelry Training Center in Bulacan.
Last 16-25 January, the 11-man mission of the MJIA visited Italy as part of the Asia – invest Business Priming Fund/Technical Assistance of the European Union.
Ambassador Philippe J. Lhuillier assured Cecilia Ramos, MJIA Chairman, and Peter Zuniga, MJIA President, of PE Rome’s support through PTIC Milan/PE Rome.
The mission visited two jewelry training schools, Le Arti Orafe Jewelry School in Florence and Scuola d’ Arte e Mestieri of Vicenza. The mission members under went a two day training in goldsmithery, stone setting and engraving, casing and surface finishing at the Scuola d’ Arte e Mestieri.
The mission also met with the Vicenza Crafts Association as part of its networking activities and visited the facilities of Ronco spa, a leading manufacturer of jewelry that has successfully combined Italy’s great goldsmith tradition and the latest technological innovation in jewelry making.
Ambassador Philippe J. Lhuillier also announced that Ronco spa of Via Trento, 31,36010 Montecello Conte Otto (Vicenza) has invested in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
Ronco represents a line of jewelry that is famous worldwide. Mr. Leonardo Ronco already left for the Philippines to start the setup of the factory. Ronco spa is the third Italian company to locate in Subic. The two others are Ilios Jewelers Subic International and Galante International who have been in SBMA since 2001.
