JGTD is taking place from October 27 to 29 in North Halls N21 and N23 of the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) – Expo City, reaffirming the fair’s status as the region’s go-to marketplace for fine jewellery, diamonds, coloured gemstones and technology.

Featuring more than 400 exhibitors from approximately 25 countries and regions with buyers from over 100 markets, JGTD serves as an annual gathering point where suppliers and buyers from across the jewellery value chain converge to explore business opportunities, build connections and access high-growth economies.

Tapping into Dubai’s strategic location at the crossroads of international trade, the exhibition further bolsters the emirate’s standing as one of the world’s leading jewellery sourcing destinations, show organisers Informa Markets and Italian Exhibition Group SpA (IEG) said.

Over three days, attendees will explore country and regional pavilions led by China, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Türkiye, while gaining industry insights through expert-led seminars and educational sessions.

Among the companies exhibiting are finished jewellery manufacturers AV Globale, Jawhara, KGK, Dharm Diam, Taka and Unison Manufacturing; gemstone suppliers Hari Krishna, SRK, Precious Pebbles, Venus Jewel, Takat Gems SR, Poligem and HC Arnoldi, and technology companies Bulunmaz Machinery, Faro, Smartpro, Sisma and Harshad Prime, to name a few.

Significantly, JGTD’s core partnerships are stronger than ever. DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) returns as Official Partner while Dubai Jewellery Group (DJG) maintains its Industry Partner status for the 5th consecutive year, reflecting the sustained commitment among industry stakeholders to advance trade, innovation and sustainable growth within the jewellery sector.

Powerful synergy

What makes this edition particularly compelling is its concurrent scheduling with the second edition of Dubai Diamond Week – a pairing that creates powerful industry synergy. Running from October 26 to 29, the week opens with the 7th edition of the Dubai Diamond Conference on October 26, featuring a programme focused on the priorities shaping the future of the natural diamond industry.

Under the theme “Diamond 2.0: A Strategic Reset – Reigniting Desire, Unlocking New Value,” the conference will explore fresh approaches to boosting long-term demand growth for natural diamond jewellery, leveraging emerging technologies and identifying new sources of value creation.

On October 27, bilateral meetings, company showcase presentations and guided tours of Almas Tower and the Dubai Diamond Exchange will translate these discussions into actionable business opportunities.

“The jewellery industry is evolving rapidly. Consumer preferences are shifting, younger demographics are demonstrating growing spending power, and technological advances are impacting how jewellery is produced, marketed and sold,” said Celine Lau, director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets. “JGTD serves as the industry’s response to this transformation. We bring together the suppliers, innovations and market intelligence that buyers need to adapt and thrive. Combined with Dubai Diamond Week’s focus on strengthening demand for natural diamonds, we are creating a platform that addresses both immediate sourcing needs and the broader market questions facing the industry today.”

Marco Carniello, chief business officer of Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), added, “As the Middle East’s only B2B exhibition dedicated exclusively to the international jewellery industry, JGTD has become a strategic meeting point connecting global markets with the region’s growing commercial influence. By bringing together manufacturers, gemstone suppliers, technology providers and buyers, with the support of DMCC and DJG, the event creates new business opportunities and reinforces Dubai’s role as a leading hub for the jewellery trade. Alongside Dubai Diamond Week, JGTD strengthens this ecosystem by combining sourcing, knowledge exchange and industry dialogue to drive the competitiveness of the sector.”

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, executive chairman and CEO of DMCC, said, “With a record US$41.7 billion in diamond trade in 2025, Dubai has firmly established itself as one of the world's leading centres for the global diamond and precious stones trade. As the industry continues to undergo profound structural change, the need has never been greater for a trusted platform that brings together every part of the value chain to exchange ideas, build consensus and unlock new commercial opportunities. Dubai has become the place where the global diamond industry convenes to trade, collaborate and shape its future, and Dubai Diamond Week reflects that leadership. With the seventh edition of the Dubai Diamond Conference providing the strategic agenda and JGTD serving as its commercial pillar, the 2026 Dubai Diamond Week will create one of the most sought-after platforms for global industry dialogue, paired with tangible business opportunities. Together, we continue to create the conditions for the industry to build resilience and navigate its next chapter.”

Echoing this sentiment, DJG Chairman Tawhid Abdulla emphasised the vital role that JGTD plays in pulling together manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and technology providers to foster meaningful business partnerships.

“DJG is proud to support initiatives that fuel the industry’s competitiveness and create new opportunities for sustainable growth throughout the region and beyond. Dubai has established itself as one of the world’s most vibrant jewellery trading centres, connecting markets across East and West. JGTD is a reflection of this strategic position, providing an exceptional platform for global exhibitors and buyers to engage and define what’s next for the industry,” Abdulla said.

Suppliers from around the world are presenting collections designed to drive sales through the peak selling seasons and beyond. Among the standout offerings heading to Dubai: Fine diamonds from Yondor Diamonds Ltd, Shivam Jewels and Paladiya Brothers; gold and silver collections from jewellery maker Rayne Roche; tennis bracelets featuring fancy-cut diamonds from RK Gems Co; diamond bangles and coloured gemstone rings from Taka Jewellery Pte Ltd, and loose coloured gemstones from Blue Gems Supplier and Emerald Mines Co Ltd to name a few. Just as important are machinery, equipment, tools and technology solutions from companies such as Faro, Bulunmaz and Fresissima, among others.
