The 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), opened today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and runs through March 8. It is held concurrently with the 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, which opened on March 2 at AsiaWorld-Expo and concludes on March 6. Together, the two shows feature some 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions, forming the world's largest one-stop jewellery marketplace.
Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said the expanded Hall of Fame, the debut of the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion and the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Pavilion, and a first-time delegation of 10 companies from Uzbekistan showcasing gold jewellery aim to create collaboration opportunities and reinforce Hong Kong's status as a global jewellery trading hub. Kent Wong, Chairman of the fair organizing committee, noted the twin shows play a pivotal role in attracting global jewellery professionals for sourcing and networking.
International brands converge at the show, with the Hall of Fame expanding by over 40%. Turkish exhibitor Hosgor Kuyumculuk Mucevherat Ticaret Limited Sirketi presents a 35.5-carat diamond necklace. The Hall of Extraordinary features exhibitors such as Hong Kong's Glamour Fine Jewelry Enterprise Company, showcasing a bracelet with Colombian emeralds paired with diamonds and rubies.
New pavilions highlight oriental aesthetics. The Hard Pure Gold Pavilion, organized by the World Gold Council, features 11 exhibitors showcasing techniques that produce harder, lighter, and brighter gold pieces capable of setting gemstones. The Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Pavilion highlights crossover craftsmanship between jewellery setting and watchmaking. The Jewellers' and Goldsmiths' Association of Hong Kong presented awards for the Hong Kong International Fashion Chuk Kam Jewellery Design Competition, encouraging designers to create culturally rich gold jewellery for ASEAN and Middle East markets. On March 5, the inaugural International Fei Cui Jewellery Design Competition, organized by the Hong Kong Jade Association, will honour designers blending jadeite with global cultural elements.
Antique jewellery remains sought-after, with the Antique & Vintage Jewellery Galleria presenting rare pieces, including a bi-colour enamel diamond piece from World Coins Co., Ltd., with a history spanning over a century. The Designer Galleria welcomes 10 Korean designers, and about 50 designer exhibitors showcase diverse creativities. The 27th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition, under the theme "Pure Elegance – Natural Beauty," offers a stage for local professional designers and students, with awards on March 5.
To help exhibitors expand into the Chinese Mainland market, the fairs continue collaboration with Taobao Tmall and, for the first time, welcome Douyin, partnering with influencers for on-site live streaming. A seminar on March 7 will discuss online marketing trends, and a seminar on March 5 will explore how AI and new technologies enhance competitiveness. Events include a seminar by Dr. Jack Ogden on jewellery craftsmanship evolution and jewellery parades highlighting intangible cultural heritage, antique and vintage pieces, and gold jewellery.
