National jewellery associations from Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden have come to together as united bloc within CIBJO, with the goal of raising the profile of the jewellery industry and trade in the Scandinavian region and collectively increasing their level of involvement in the World Jewellery Confederation.
Called the Nordic Jewellery Federation, the new body gathers under its umbrella the National Board of the Jewellery and Watch Trade from Denmark, the Norwegian Goldsmith and Jewellers Association, the Finnish Goldsmith Association, and the Swedish Jewellery and Watch Industry Association. While the Danish and Norwegian organisations were already active in CIBJO, the new body brings the Finnish and Swedish Associations into the confederation. The decision to establish the Nordic Jewellery Federation was made at at a meeting of the various associations in Stockholm, Sweden, which was attended by CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri, who had strongly lobbied for the establishment of such an organisation.
