World-class jewellers and gemstone suppliers will be out in full force at Asia’s No. 1 mid-year B2B fine jewellery and gemstone marketplace, which is taking place in Hong Kong from June 20 to 23.

According to show organiser Informa Markets Jewellery, Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA) is returning with approximately 1,500 exhibitors from 30+ countries and regions, spread across more than 30 pavilions categorised by groups, products and themes.

One of the fair’s must-visit destinations is the Fine Design/Fine Gem Pavilion in Hall 3E – a space dedicated to high jewellery manufacturers and select gemstone houses.

“JGA is all about discovery, and this pavilion will give fairgoers a central place where they can meet with many of the industry’s best, get inspired and source the finest gems and jewellery that they need for their business,” said Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery. “Needless to say, virtually every piece of exhibit in this pavilion is rare, precious and superbly crafted.”

Further adding glitter and colour to the fair are the Fei Cui Gallery, which will showcase an impressive jadeite display, and the Antique & Vintage Jewellery Pavilion, a favourite of speciality boutiques and retailers.

Professional buyers will also find a diverse selection of exceptional offerings throughout the show’s distinct sections, thoughtfully organised by product categories. These encompass loose diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls; finished jewellery and jewellery mountings; jewellery manufacturing equipment; packaging solutions and technology applications, Lau continued.

Networking at JGA

In addition to product sourcing, the fair offers an exclusive content programme that includes panel discussions and learning opportunities at The Stage in Hall 1B. Here’s a breakdown of the sessions and special events:
