YEREVAN. – The Armenian News-NEWS.am took an interview from the head of the Armenian Jewelers Association (AJA) Gagik Gevorgyan, who believes that jewelry is a fashion as well. At the moment people prefer silver. Asked what position Armenia occupies compared to Italy and India, two leading countries on jewelry, Gevorgyan said that the best design schools have always been in Italy.

There are only some nations famous for their qualified jewelers, and Armenia is among those nations. And it is not by chance that the World Jewellery Confederation CIBJO president Gaetano Cavalieri estimated the Armenian jewelers highly and he was present at an event dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the AJA and the second international exhibition on jewelers in Yerevan.

The Armenian jewelry expert pays great importance to free economic zone, as it allows competing with China, India and other counties with developed jewelry industry. As a matter of fact, 6 to 8 percent of world jewelry industry belongs to the Armenian professionals.
