The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) announced today that the world’s largest one-stop jewellery marketplace will return in early March under its proven “Two Shows, Two Venues” format. The 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show will take place from 2 to 6 March at AsiaWorld-Expo, featuring a wide range of jewellery raw materials. The 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will be held from 4 to 8 March at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, showcasing finished jewellery pieces.
Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s twin jewellery shows bring together some 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions, with 70% coming from outside Hong Kong. Exhibitor participation from Brazil, United Arab Emirates and India has expanded, and Uzbekistan joins for the first time. The HKTDC presents the world’s largest one-stop jewellery marketplace to highlight Hong Kong’s status as an international trade capital and jewellery sourcing hub.”
This announcement comes as Hong Kong’s export volume of premium jewellery to ASEAN recorded a 51% increase, while exports to the United Kingdom, Australia and Switzerland grew year-on-year by 36%, 28% and 10% respectively, underscoring the growing global demand for Hong Kong’s jewellery products.
Over 40 themed pavilions will be featured, including a new Hard Pure Gold Pavilion. The World Gold Council debuts the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion, featuring 11 exhibitors from Chinese Mainland showcasing innovative gold craftsmanship. Hard pure gold technology has gained strong momentum in Chinese Mainland, offering high purity and enhanced hardness for lighter, more durable designs with modern aesthetics. The pavilion aims to leverage the fairs as a springboard for international expansion.
Other notable pavilions include the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Ltd participating for the first time, and the Zhushan Turquoise pavilion from Hubei making its debut. Returning participants include the Tanzanite Foundation, the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA), and the Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, which will join forces with the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) to present advanced jewellery manufacturing equipment and technologies.
International brands will be in the spotlight with the return of the Hall of Fame at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, expanded by more than 40%. Turkish diamond jewellery brand Zen Diamond (Booth: CEC 3B-C12) will present diamond ring collections featuring exquisite cutting techniques. At the Hall of Extraordinary, Hong Kong exhibitor Continental Diamond Company (Booth: CEC GH-C07) will showcase an 18K white and rose gold ring set with blue and light pink diamonds.
Oriental aesthetics will be highlighted through cultural heritage craftsmanship. Chinese Mainland exhibitor Guangdong JIABAO Pavilion Jewellery (Hong Kong) Company Ltd (Booth: CEC GH-A16) will present an 18K gold, handmade filigree butterfly brooch made with national intangible heritage craft, with each piece taking over four months to complete. Another exhibitor, Shenzhen Meifei Precious Metals Co Ltd (Booth: CEC 3E-E02), brings a “Palatial Modern Chinese Style” jewellery series incorporating six traditional gold techniques.
A seminar organised by the World Gold Council will examine the latest developments in the global gold market and hard pure gold technology. Additionally, the Hong Kong International Fashion Chuk Kam Jewellery Design Competition 2026 and the inaugural International Fei Cui Jewellery Design Competition 2026 will hold their award presentation ceremonies during the fairs.
Creative design trends will be showcased, including Austy Lee Company Ltd (Booth: CEC 1E-F32) introducing bangles inspired by zebra patterns for the Year of the Horse. The Designer Galleria welcomes new exhibitor Zheng Hong Collective (Booth: CEC 1CON-067A), featuring a brooch with movable wings and tail. The 27th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition, themed “Pure Elegance – Natural Beauty,” will announce winning designs during the fairs.
Rare treasures will dazzle across both shows. At the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, Baroque Antique & Jewellery Limited (Booth: CEC CH-F13) presents a 1970s Buccellati pink sapphire suite, while World Coins Co., Ltd. (Booth: CEC CH-N12) showcases a 19th-century Italian bi-colour enamel diamond piece. At the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, Caram e.K.

The Hong Kong International Jewellery Show will also host a seminar titled “The Origins of Style: Tracing the Imprint of Time and Craftsmanship,” inviting British historian and jewellery authority Dr. Jack Ogden to speak. Over 20 seminars and networking sessions will cover industry trends, digital marketing, and jewellery technologies, including sessions on how artificial intelligence moves from design to commercialisation.
