In the vibrant city of Hong Kong, in March 2026, the HKTDC will host its twin jewellery shows.

The 'Hall of Extraordinary' will display high-end creations from prestigious brands like Dehres, On Tung, Lili Jewelry, Karen Suen, Heinz Mayer, and Autore Pearls, featuring remarkable diamonds, precious stones, jadeite, and pearls.

Reflecting market demand, the Gold Jewellery zone, successfully launched in 2025, will return to showcase innovative designs and masterful craftsmanship in gold. This highlights the growing appeal of gold jewellery, especially in ASEAN and India, driven by technological advancements that enhance its versatility. Simultaneously, the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show at AsiaWorld-Expo will offer an impressive selection of raw materials. The 'Hall of Fine Diamonds' will feature large carat diamonds, 'Treasures of Nature' will exhibit stunning rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, and 'Treasures of Ocean' will enchant buyers with natural sea pearls. A focal point of the event will be the Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition, themed “Pure Elegance – Natural Beauty,” celebrating authentic design. The winning pieces will be honored and displayed at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show.
Beyond the exhibits, the shows emphasize technological integration, with past surveys indicating industry expectations for AI, big data, and social media to significantly impact the sector. Seminars will delve into innovative topics like AI in design and authentication. A comprehensive program including jewellery parades, a buyer forum, and networking events will ensure attendees receive up-to-date market intelligence. The “EXHIBITION+” hybrid model, combined with the “Click2Match” online platform, will extend networking opportunities beyond geographical boundaries. To streamline access, the HKTDC Marketplace App will offer an online self-authentication feature, allowing buyers to obtain a verified e-badge for direct admission, thereby reducing wait times.
This dual exhibition serves as a pivotal annual event for the global jewellery industry, driving business, fostering innovation, and celebrating the art of jewellery design. The convergence of diverse exhibitors, groundbreaking designs, and cutting-edge technologies makes these shows an indispensable gathering for anyone involved in the world of precious gems and metals.
