Jewellery, Gem & Technology in Dubai (JGTD) is bolstering its role as a powerhouse B2B sourcing destination with its highly anticipated fourth edition in November. 

The show, scheduled for November 11 to 13, will introduce a number of new additions, including a High Jewellery exhibit, an expanded technology zone and an exclusive content programme, show organisers Informa Markets Jewellery and Italian Exhibition Group SpA (IEG) announced.

Taking place in Halls 1 & 2 South of the Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City, JGTD will once again present a showcase of the industry’s core product categories consisting of finished and semi-finished jewellery, loose diamonds and coloured gemstones, packaging solutions, jewellery technology and lab-grown diamonds – both loose and jewellery-set. The fair is bringing together more than 350 exhibitors from close to 30 countries and regions, including first-time participants from Armenia, Kazakhstan and Jordan. 

Among the top show floor destinations are eight country and regional pavilions representing China, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Türkiye and the US.

Within this international lineup, a new premier jewellery space will feature exhibitors such as Noor Gems Japan Ltd, Colorjewels (Hong Kong), Krainz Creations (US) and Arjiv Exports (India), among others.

The exhibition maintains its solid industry relationships, with DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) returning as the Official Partner and Dubai Jewellery Group (DJG) continuing as the Industry Partner for the fourth consecutive year.

Marco Carniello, chief business officer at Italian Exhibition Group, commented, “As JGTD returns in 2025, we are proud to present an even more dynamic and diverse B2B sourcing experience for the global jewellery community, once again bringing a world of opportunities to our Dubai show floor. The upcoming edition will showcase curated excellence across every product segment, highlighting the growing importance of innovation throughout the entire value chain – from gems and diamonds to technology, from components to finished jewellery.”

Emphasising the collaborative foundation behind JGTD, Carniello noted that the event is driven by the strategic partnership between the Italian Exhibition Group and Informa Markets.

“Together, we are investing in Dubai, whose visionary approach to development, infrastructure and services is reinforcing its role as a global trading hub for high-value goods, establishing the city as the gateway to the Middle East, Africa, Western Asia and beyond. We extend our sincere thanks to our valued industry partners, to DMCC and the UAE government for their unwavering support, and to the Dubai Jewellery Group for their collaboration,” he continued.
 

JGTD 2024
 

The fair’s November dates create an exceptional market advantage, offering buyers the dual benefit of pre-holiday inventory refreshment while providing ample lead time for planning next year’s key seasonal collections.

“Dubai is the world’s jewellery sourcing capital this November. This timing allows businesses to prepare for the immediate holiday rush while securing connections for a strong 2026,” shared Celine Lau, director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery. “More importantly, the current business environment has made industry gatherings like this more valuable for our community. Finding the right products, anticipating demand and meeting quality suppliers at this point in the buying calendar help businesses prepare for what’s ahead. Being present allows companies to gather firsthand information, discuss supply concerns and understand market trends directly from sources across the industry.”

Last year, JGTD recorded an increase in international attendance, with visitors from the Middle East and Asia substantially contributing to its global audience. Buyers from nearly 120 countries and regions comprised over half of all attendees, demonstrating the fair’s extensive worldwide reach. Additionally, the event hosted organised buyer groups representing more than 175 companies from 29 countries and regions.

Reflecting on this impressive global participation, DJG Chairman Tawhid Abdulla commented, “JGTD continues to set futuristic expectations and benchmarks for the regional jewellery industry. It brings together innovation, craftsmanship and international collaboration, which are crucial elements for the evolution of our sector. We applaud the organisers for curating such a promising platform that not only celebrates creativity and excellence but also opens new opportunities for trade and partnership. Dubai Jewellery Group is proud to support and be a part of such a prestigious event that reflects the spirit and sophistication of our industry.”
