London Jewellery Week Announces Jaguar Cars as Official Sponsor
London Jewellery Week 2010, which will take place from 7 – 13 June in venues across London, and the Green Street Jewellers’ Association (GSJA), today proudly announce Jaguar Cars Ltd as official sponsor and Luxury Transport Partner. Jaguar, already synonymous with stunning design, innovative thinking, and contemporary luxury, will join the celebration of London as a world leader in jewellery design and production, and as a first class retail destination, for a range of events across the capital.
Jaguar, currently celebrating 75 years of looking forward, will weave endless magic around the capital during London Jewellery Week as fleet of all-new Jaguar XJs transport VIPs including jewellery designers, television personalities, actors, musicians, Bollywood stars, and other London faces to launch parties and cornerstone events.
In addition Jaguar will co-host bespoke events and a jewellery exhibition at the Jaguar Boutique in the Berkeley Hotel, Knightsbridge, to launch the Green Street Jewellers’ Association’s Discover Jewellery magazine. Jayant Raniga of the GSJA and Director of London Jewellery Week 2010 said “We are incredibly pleased and proud that Jaguar Cars Ltd, such an icon of design excellence and innovative thinking, are supporting the GSJA and London Jewellery Week as official sponsor and Luxury Transport Partner. We can achieve something very special through this partnership, for this year and beyond.”
Daljit Jagait of Jaguar Cars Ltd said “The attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship that goes into designing and producing Jaguars means there is logical tie-up with the luxurious, skilled, bespoke jewellery trade.
“We are delighted to be associated with the Green Street Jewellers Association / London Jewellery Week 2010 and look forward to being involved in what promises to be an exceptional event.”
The all-new Jaguar XJ will be used to ferry high-profile guests to the official London Jewellery Week launch event at Goldsmiths’ Hall (7 June) and then showcased at the Hatton Garden Festival (12 June), and at Treasure, the visionary jewellery exhibition (11-13 June). Details of a competition to win a Jaguar Track Day will be announced shortly also.
Through its commitment to London Jewellery Week and London’s jewellery industry, Jaguar supports the GSJA’s efforts to raise the profile of Green Street as a lively jewellery quarter in the capital. Located in the heart of Newham, Green Street has been a traditional centre for the trade and is fast becoming a top shopping destination for exquisite fine jewellery and wedding jewellery.
