Editor’s Note
This article outlines the upcoming twin jewellery fairs in Hong Kong, detailing their dates, venues, and the continued “two shows, two venues” format.
The 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), will be held from March 2 to 6 at the AsiaWorld-Expo. The 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will be held from March 4 to 8 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. The exhibitions will continue to adopt the “two shows, two venues” model, bringing together around 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions.
This year’s twin jewellery fairs feature over 40 group pavilions. Among the approximately 4,000 exhibitors, over 30% are from Hong Kong, with the remaining nearly 70% coming from outside Hong Kong. Notably, the participation scale from Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, and India has increased, and exhibitors from Uzbekistan are participating for the first time.
In terms of industry pavilions, the World Gold Council is bringing 11 exhibitors and, for the first time at the Jewellery Show, will establish a Hard 24K Gold Pavilion to showcase this innovative gold manufacturing technology to the international market. The Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Ltd. is also organising its pavilion at the Jewellery Show for the first time, displaying exquisite craftsmanship in jewellery timepieces. The Zhushan Turquoise Pavilion from Hubei province is also making its debut.
The scale of the Jewellery Show’s “Hall of Fame” (brand pavilion) has expanded by over 40% compared to last year. Furthermore, exhibition zones related to creative design are also very impressive. This year’s “Designer’s Galleria” has attracted participation from several Korean designers. Together with the “New Designer’s Zone” featuring the Asia Pacific Creator Association and the Asian Jewellery Culture & Design Craft Association, a total of around 50 exhibitors are gathered.
