This is for Penangites. Especially those who love luxury collections. It may be time to add to your collections. I have seen the list of items which would be auctioned off and they are pretty exclusive. Some are extremely rare too. Anyway, just getting to know and learn about these would already be a plus to attend. There would also be rare and extremely valuable banknotes on display too. (If you like it, offer for it to be auctioned off). Let’s just say that the reserve price could be a six-figure one. The event is RHB Premier International Luxury Collections Week 2017. On 27th October 2017 (Friday), it would be having it’s official grand opening ceremony. The guest of honour is YB Danny Law Heng Kiang, Penang State EXCO Member of Tourism Development and Culture. The event will be held in Atrium, Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang.
On a daily basis, it starts from 10am – 10pm at night. The official opening event starts from 11am and after the opening ceremony, there would be a Jewellery Show presentation by renowned AMEE PHILIPS. All the luxury collections would be displayed to the public afterwards. Feel free to walk around and ask lots of questions!
At 3-5pm, there would be a private session which is by invitation only. It is a Historic Artefact Jewellery Show and Sharing Session by Ben Rongen, Kraak Creations PLT. He is a famous Australian jeweller. The event continues and on 28th October, there would be more learning sessions which will be shared by the Asia Gemological Laboratory – The Beauty of Sapphire followed by ‘Investing in Antiques and Art’ which willbe presented by prominent collectors and traders.
