HONG KONG: Next month, the global jewellery industry has only one destination: Hong Kong. Organised by Informa Markets, JGW September (Jewellery & Gem World September) brings together 3,000+ exhibitors from 40+ countries and regions, all showcasing the collections that will define retail displays worldwide. This is the trade’s ultimate B2B sourcing destination: Six specialised buying experiences where attendees move beyond restocking to source what is launching next.

From 14 − 18 September at AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE), three co-located fairs spotlight precious materials: Gemstones (Halls 3, 6, 8 & 10), Diamonds & Fine Gems (Halls 5, 7 & 9) and Pearls+ (Halls 9 & 11).

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) will host three shows from 16 − 20 September dedicated to finished jewellery, packaging solutions, tools & equipment and jewellery technology. These are Hong Kong (Hall 1), International (Halls 3 & 5) and Fine Design (Grand Hall), which displays jewellery creations with rare and investment-quality gems.

Together, the two venues offer a complete view of the supply chain, from raw materials to retail-ready pieces.

Online pre-registration is now open and remains available until 6 September. What makes JGW September special is the energy and the thrill of discovery − both on the show floor and through a content programme that celebrates the very best of the industry.

For Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets, the case for attending in person is clear: “You can’t judge a gemstone from a photo on a screen − the colour shifts in different light, the clarity reveals itself only in person. That’s why being at the fair matters. You are not only sourcing product, but you are also reading the room, seeing what is getting attention, what is selling out and picking up on trends before they hit the mainstream.”
