The world’s biggest jewellery fair
is back in Hong Kong!
Jewellery & Gem WORLD celebrates its 40th edition with 3,000+ exhibitors across two venues this September
The world’s biggest B2B jewellery sourcing event is set to return to its Hong Kong home this September, in what marks its first major comeback since 2019!
Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW), formerly known as the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, is celebrating its 40th edition with over 3,000 exhibitors across two venues. In recognition of this milestone, JGW will also pay tribute to 40 extraordinary individuals who have had a positive and transformative impact on the industry and played an integral role in the September fair’s four-decade-long journey.
“After a long wait, the world’s No.1 B2B jewellery sourcing fair is finally returning to Hong Kong – the home of JGW. We are honoured to bring together the global jewellery industry once again and showcase the latest trends and innovations in the market. Join us for this exceptional opportunity that has been eagerly awaited by everyone in our community,” said David Bondi, Senior Vice President of Informa Markets in Asia.
Returning to its original two-venue, product category-specific format, JGW is taking place at the AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE), where jewellery materials, such as loose diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls, will be exhibited from 18 to 22 September, and at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC), where finished jewellery, packaging solutions, tools and equipment, and jewellery industry-related technologies will be unveiled from 20 to 24 September.
Further adding excitement to JGW’s return is a series of celebrations marking two milestones – the fair’s 40th edition and the 40th anniversary of JNA, Informa Markets Jewellery’s flagship jewellery trade publication.
“To commemorate JGW and JNA’s 40 extraordinary years, we are pleased to announce our ‘Extraordinary 40’ Awards programme, which is being held under the auspices of the Jewellery World
Awards. This initiative aims to pay tribute to 40 individuals who have gone above and beyond to shape and transform our industry. These Awardees have not only achieved remarkable success, but they have also made a positive and lasting impact on the broader community. Through their talent, leadership, dedication and innovation, they have inspired and paved the way for future generations of jewellery entrepreneurs, designers and gemstone artists,” said Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery.
The Extraordinary 40 Awardees will be invited to participate in a series of high-profile panel discussions at JGW where they will share their insights, experiences and expertise. Additionally, leading organisations in different sectors will share the latest developments in their respective fields.
"We are delighted to showcase the ruby as our anniversary gemstone!" Lau added. "Visitors can expect to see a stunning display of ruby exhibits, highlighting the rarity and allure of this precious gemstone. In addition, a specially designed 'treasure map' will guide buyers through the show floor to view the most remarkable ruby collections."
