Jewellery and gemstone industry players who are interested in visiting Asia’s premier mid-year B2B fair scheduled for June 2023 in Hong Kong can now register for the event.

On display at Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA), previously known as the June Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, is a wide selection of finished jewellery, loose diamonds, gemstones and pearls, and other manufacturing and technology solutions.

It will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from June 22 to 25 – marking the first time that the show is returning to its true form since 2019, revealed organiser Informa Markets Jewellery. 

JGA is bringing together close to 1,500 suppliers from over 30 countries and regions who will present some of their finest collections and latest innovations for the coming peak selling seasons. 

Celine Lau, director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery, shared, “JGA has always been known for its rich and diverse selection of finished jewellery, and as a sourcing destination for precious materials. Professional buyers will be delighted to learn that our signature pavilions will be back as well, led by CORE, Fine Gem and Fine Design.” 

The CORE Pavilion hosts Hong Kong’s major jewellery makers, highlighting the city’s standing as a jewellery design and manufacturing hub. The Fine Gem Pavilion (FGP) brings together renowned suppliers who will present premium-quality diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls coveted by fine jewellery manufacturers, legacy brands and collectors. Prestigious jewellers, meanwhile, will launch design-focused collections and one-of-a-kind creations at the Fine Design Pavilion. 

JGA’s engaging roster of exhibitors includes diamond manufacturers Diarough (Hong Kong) Ltd, Kunming International Ltd and Sheetal (Far East) Ltd; coloured gemstone vendors Blue Gems Co Ltd, Emerald Mines Co Ltd and Paul Wild OHG; pearl suppliers Alain Boite SAS, J Ocean Pearl Jewellery Ltd and Ikeda Pearl Co, and jewellers Alexander Laut Co Ltd, Gorgoglione Srl and Kuwayama Corp, to name a few. 

Milestone year

Further adding excitement and energy to JGA is the unveiling of Informa Markets Jewellery’s power-packed programme commemorating the 40th edition of its sister show – Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW) in September – and the 40th anniversary of its flagship jewellery publication, JNA. Formerly called the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, JGW is marking its milestone year by honouring its very own “Extraordinary 40” – 40 exceptional individuals who have made a significant positive impact on the industry and their communities – and delivering a rich line-up of original content, including a “treasure hunt” that fittingly shines the spotlight on the ruby – the traditional 40th anniversary gemstone, and a seminar and panel discussion series, among others.

The “Extraordinary 40” champions are also the recipients of the 2023 Jewellery World Awards (JWA), one of the industry’s most prestigious accolades. Selected by Informa’s international team comprising in-house experts and independent third parties who possess deep knowledge and experience in distinct areas of the industry, the Awardees span the globe and cover the full spectrum of the jewellery world, including jewellery design and manufacturing; core product categories such as diamonds, coloured gemstones, pearls and technology, among others, and advocacies and outstanding business practices encompassing social responsibility, sustainability, education and innovation. The Award recipients will be revealed from late April 2023 onwards. 

The September Fair is reverting to its original two-venue, product category-specific format. The jewellery materials section of the show will be hosted at the AsiaWorld-Expo from September 18 to 22, 2023 while categories covering finished jewellery, packaging solutions, tools and equipment, and jewellery industry-related technologies will be presented at the HKCEC from September 20 to 24, 2023. 

The engine driving a global jewellery portfolio consisting of the biggest and most iconic B2B fairs and events in Hong Kong and other key cities around the world, Informa Markets Jewellery also powers one of the industry’s most popular B2B online communities – JewelleryNet, and two of the sector’s most prestigious awards programmes – JWA and its regional edition, JWA Dubai.
