About J will be a corner stone of the Salon Privé Event and will facilitate the grouping of the About J designer community in a meaningful way in the center of the jewelry collections. Since the total number of Exhibitors at Salon Privé Dubai will be limited to 80-90 designers as well as select high-end jewelry sponsors, including other global luxury brands, publications, and service organizations, About J designers will truly stand out and have a commanding presence in this niche event. Approximately 130 international luxury retail companies, comprised of store owners, CEOs and other senior decision makers, will be invited and hosted by Salon Privé at the Madinat Jumeirah, also known as "Dubai's Arabian Resort" due to its authentic Middle Eastern Style architecture. It is located on the sea in Jumeirah, a fashionable residential area of Dubai.

"The World Wealth Report 2008, produced by Capgemini and Merrill Lynch, showed a 15.6% increase in the number of high net worth individuals in the Middle East, and they direct 32% of their "investments of passion" – which reportedly the rich buy to display their wealth – into jewellery purchases. This is the highest percentage of all regions of the world with their target markets, Russia, Eastern Europe and Asia, next in ranking, " said Mr Hease.
