Unique gold and silver jewelry made by 50 artists from the Koriwasi Technological Innovation Center of Cajamarca will be exhibited during JCK Las Vegas 2009.

This premier buying event (to be attended by several leading jewelers from around the globe) will feature a wide variety of products including the largest selection of jewelry, gems, timepieces and product line launches.

"Cajamarca-born jewelers trained in Cite are eager to showcase the best of their work in a competitive market like the U.S., which will bring together the world's best jewelers," said Luis Felipe Velasco Luza, executive director of Koriwasi-

”Cajamarca’s jewelry has nothing to envy of products made by leading companies in other countries because we have technology, instructors, equipment and the talent of students to create unique high quality models with a strong market demand," he added.

Koriwasi Jewelry Technological Innovation Center (CITE Koriwasi) aims to improve technical and technological capacities of the jewelry manufacturing process.

The JCK Las Vegas 2009 will be held from Saturday May 30th to Tuesday June 2nd at the Sands Expo & Convention Center.
