Editor’s Note
The upcoming tenth edition of GemGenève, scheduled for May 2026, underscores the event’s evolution into a premier global jewelry gathering. By blending established industry leaders with emerging designers and artists, it continues to foster a dynamic community dedicated to both tradition and innovation.
From May 7 to 10, 2026, GemGenève will once again become one of the major epicenters of the international jewelry universe. Its tenth edition makes it clear that the event is not only growing but also further refining its identity: a perfect blend of tradition, discovery, and new voices.
With over 240 key players in the sector, GemGenève will bring together, over four days, world-renowned merchants, historic family firms, emerging designers, artists still unknown to the general public, gemological laboratories, cultural institutions, specialized schools, and even bookstores dedicated to jewelry. A complete ecosystem that transforms the fair into much more than a commercial event: a place where knowledge is shared, connections are made, and the emotional value of unique pieces is celebrated.
More than 200 dealers will offer collectors, experts, and enthusiasts the opportunity to discover a carefully curated selection of exceptional gemstones, heritage jewelry, vintage pieces, and contemporary creations. Each exhibitor chooses their offering with surgical precision, seeking more than just sales: to evoke emotion, spark desire, and fuel the curiosity of the thousands of visitors expected this year.
In this edition, the fair welcomes 11 new exhibitors, hailing from the United Kingdom, Israel, Hong Kong, the United States, and India. These new additions come to enrich the creative dialogue and preserve the event’s founding spirit: equality, knowledge sharing, and constant discovery.
Among them, Belgian designer Jochen Leën stands out, as does the New York firm D. Elian Corp., a specialist in Colombian emeralds, which will participate with its founder alongside his sons Tom and Ryan.
On the other hand, of the 202 confirmed merchants and dealers, 33 have not missed a single edition since the event’s inception. This figure rises to 43% when including those exhibitors who have been committed from the start, even if they were unable to attend on some occasions due to extraordinary circumstances like the pandemic or recent international events.
Among these pillars are names like Golay Fils & Stahl, Swiss jewelers since 1837; Morelle Davidson, an essential reference in London for collectors of antique jewelry; or HC Arnoldi, historic lapidaries originally from Idar-Oberstein.
The tenth edition will bring together exhibitors from 17 nationalities, reinforcing the event’s global character and its positioning as a strategic platform within the international high jewelry and precious stones market.
The United States will again lead in presence with 46 exhibitors, followed by Belgium (23) and Switzerland (22). Among the most prominent names are New York dealer Isaac Davidowits or the firm Paul Fisher Inc., a reference in antique jewelry.
Asia will also have significant weight, with solid representation from: Hong Kong (23), Thailand (15), India (11), Singapore (5), and Sri Lanka (2). Europe will complete the map with exhibitors from Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Monaco, while the Middle East will be represented by the United Arab Emirates. And, as every year, exhibitors will also arrive from Brazil and Australia, traveling over 10,000 kilometers to be part of the event.
In short, in a world where luxury is redefining its codes, GemGenève positions itself as a space where jewelry is understood for what it truly is: culture, emotion, legacy, and future.
