Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the world’s largest one-stop jewellery marketplace will return in early March under its proven “Two Shows, Two Venues” format. The 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show will take place from 2 to 6 March at AsiaWorld-Expo and will feature a wide range of jewellery raw materials. Also, the 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will be held from 4 to 8 March at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and will showcase finished jewellery pieces.
Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s twin jewellery shows bring together some 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions, with 70% coming from outside Hong Kong. Exhibitor participation from Brazil, United Arab Emirates and India has expanded, and Uzbekistan joins for the first time. The HKTDC presents the world’s largest one-stop jewellery marketplace to highlight Hong Kong’s status as an international trade capital and jewellery sourcing hub.”
In reviewing the global jewellery market, Hong Kong’s export volume of premium jewellery to ASEAN recorded a 51% increase, while exports to the United Kingdom, Australia and Switzerland grew year-on-year by 36%, 28% and 10% respectively.
The Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will also host a seminar titled “The Origins of Style: Tracing the Imprint of Time and Craftsmanship.” This seminar will invite British historian and jewellery authority Dr. Jack Ogden to speak. He will provide an in-depth analysis of the evolution of jewellery craftsmanship and changes in aesthetic tastes across different eras.
Over 20 forums on hot topics including AI and digital marketing
More than 20 seminars and networking sessions will be held, covering industry trends, digital marketing and jewellery technologies. A session will examine how artificial intelligence moves from design to commercialisation to drive the development of the jewellery industry. There will also be seminars where influencers share how to leverage e-commerce platforms to enhance jewellery brand visibility, boost sales, and share practical experience, to help the industry accelerate the integration and synergy between online and offline channels.
Business opportunities and industry exchange
The exhibition attracts major international jewellery retail chains, as well as high-end, affordable luxury, and designer jewellery brands from around the world for sourcing. It creates business opportunities for both buyers and sellers while fostering industry exchange.
The HKTDC has partnered with the Hong Kong Tourism Board and local enterprises to provide exclusive buyer privileges. These offers include dining, air tickets, and hotels, enabling buyers to enjoy Hong Kong’s unique charm while attending the fairs. The HKTDC will arrange free shuttle bus services between AsiaWorld-Expo and urban areas (including the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai). For details, please refer to the fair’s official website.
Combining online and offline services to facilitate sourcing
The shows use the EXHIBITION+ hybrid format. In addition to on-site procurement, the HKTDC’s AI-powered “Click2Match” will provide online business-matching for exhibitors and buyers from 23 February to 13 March. On-site buyers can use "Scan2Match" to scan exhibitors’ QR codes and continue discussions with exhibitors online during or after the show. To ease the buyer admission process, the HKTDC Marketplace App and the official websites of the two shows provide online verification functions. Buyers need only register through these platforms and upload a photo and valid identification to obtain a verified eBadge for direct entry, greatly reducing queuing times for onsite registration and verification and enhancing sourcing efficiency.
