HUB 生产基地 JNA November/December 2025 | 25 The Middle East is rapidly establishing itself as a world-class trading hub for diamonds and coloured gemstones. Gem dealers based in Dubai said they recorded steady business this year by capitalising on their strategic location and growing demand for high-end coloured gemstones and bespoke diamond cuts. Working in their favour is the ideal trading environment within the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) free zone, where they enjoy low-tax import and export policies that are vital for high-ticket stones whose margins hinge on logistics. In addition, Dubai’s proximity to Asia, Europe and Africa and its extensive flight network shorten sourcing and sales cycles for dealers serving international clients. The region’s gemstone trade focuses primarily on distinctive offerings, from Panjshir emeralds and cobaltblue spinels to antique-cut diamonds that cater to buyers’ growing appetite for rarity and individuality. Dealers in Dubai are optimistic that this demand for rare stones will sustain its upward trajectory. Further strengthening prospects is Jewellery, Gem & Technology in Dubai (JGTD) scheduled for November 11 to 13, 2025 at Halls 1 and 2 South of the Dubai Exhibition Centre. Jointly organised by Informa Markets Jewellery and the Italian Exhibition Group, this year’s JGTD features over 350 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and regions, highlighting the extensive business opportunities in the Middle East. Gemeasy DMCC: Rare colours Founded in Italy and based in Dubai, Gemeasy DMCC positions itself less as a trader and more as a longterm curator of rare stones, with a passion for acquiring gemstones of incredible colour and unique character, according to company owner Walter Veneruz. Gemeasy’s curated collection features some of the most sought-after natural treasures, including no-oil Colombian emeralds, Burmese rubies, neon Paraiba tourmalines and multicolour spinel layouts. Each gemstone is meticulously handpicked at the source through responsible sourcing practices across countries such as Namibia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Brazil and various African nations. “Our passion drives us to collect special stones,” remarked Veneruz. “We work closely with local miners and suppliers to ensure that we are getting the highest-quality stones at fair prices.” Gemeasy serves an international clientele spanning China, Europe, the US and the United Arab Emirates. Veneruz said he chose to establish his business in Dubai due to its social stability and efficient shipping. Moreover, the city is just a six-hour flight from both Hong Kong and Italy, putting Asia and Europe within easy reach. Business was steady for Gemeasy in 2025, with buyer preferences varying among countries and regions. “Chinese clients loved the pink and red spinels. US buyers were more open-minded and embraced diverse varieties of gemstones such as mandarin garnet and Fanta7.01-carat heart-shaped spinel from Gemeasy DMCC Gemeasy DMCC的7.01克拉心形尖晶石 Gem specialists in the Middle East are focusing on top-quality and rare stones to fuel growth while enjoying the advantages of their strategic location. 中东地区的宝石专家 正聚焦顶级品质与稀有宝石，同时充分利用其战略地理位置的优势，以推动业务增长。 Opportunities sparkle for MIDDLE EASTERN gem dealers 中东宝石商把握耀眼商机 | Sharon Kwok 郭芷雯 |
