The 2014 Doha Jewellery and Watches Expo opened to the public yesterday at the Qatar National Convention Center. Boasting some of the world’s most luxurious accessories, the six-day fair features some 500 brands of watches and jewelry from 32 local and international companies.

The expo, which runs until March 2, is being held this year for the first time at the QNCC, from its previous home at the Qatar Exhibition Center.

Among the first-timers at the show is French fashion company Chanel and Qatar’s home-grown fashion brand Qela, with a range of accessories accented by gemstones and precious metals.

The expo is free and open to the public from noon to 10pm through March 2, except on Saturday, March 1, when it is open from 4pm to 10pm.
