This article reports on the successful conclusion of the 36th September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, which achieved record attendance despite a one-day closure due to Typhoon Mangkhut.

Record Attendance at Hong Kong Jewellery Fair

UBM Asia concluded the 36th edition of its September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair (September Fair), attracting a total of 54,142 visitors to the two venues in Hong Kong: the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE). The fair was unexpectedly closed for one day, on September 16th, due to Typhoon Mangkhut.
Covering an exhibition area of 135,000 m² across the two venues, a record 3,730 suppliers from 54 countries and regions showcased their products.
Suppliers of diamonds, coloured gemstones, and pearls were located at AWE, while HKCEC showcased finished jewellery collections, packaging products, tools, equipment, and industry-related technologies.

Director’s Perspective on the Fair’s Success

Celine Lau, Director for Jewellery Fairs at UBM Asia, said:

“The recently concluded September Fair has once again demonstrated its unique position as the most professional and international platform for the gemstone and jewellery industry.”

She added:

“One can see the entire world of jewellery at the show, from coloured gemstone suppliers and diamond manufacturers to pearl traders and fine jewellers. We have decision-makers, merchandisers representing major and independent retailers, wholesalers, importers, and design houses regularly attending this show. What’s more, it’s all happening in the global city of Hong Kong, which is the springboard to the Greater China market.”
Future Dates Announced

The next edition of the September Fair will run from September 16th to 20th, 2019, at AWE, displaying diamonds, gemstones, and pearls.
It will also run from September 18th to 22nd, 2019, at HKCEC, showcasing fine finished jewellery, packaging, tools, and equipment.
