Asia’s biggest mid-year fine jewellery event returns with about 1,500 top-tier suppliers

Buyer registration in full swing as Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong gears up for much-awaited comeback this June

HONG KONG, 20 April 2023 – All eyes will be on Hong Kong this June as the global jewellery community gathers at Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA), show organiser Informa Markets Jewellery announced today.

Exhibitor sign-ups are pacing ahead, with around 1,500 industry-leading finished jewellery, gemstone and technology solutions suppliers from more than 30 countries and regions confirming their presence at JGA from 22 to 25 June 2023 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Popularly known as the June Hong Kong Fair, JGA is set to welcome exhibitors and buyers from overseas for the first time since 2019. 

“Physical events are coming back strong as people seek opportunities for in-person connections. This has made us even more excited about what we have planned for Hong Kong this year, leading off with JGA,” said David Bondi, Senior Vice President of Informa Markets in Asia. 

Professional buyers have shown tremendous support and interest in what is widely known as Asia’s biggest mid-year B2B jewellery marketplace. Online visitor registration is on course as anticipation builds for the latest styles and trends debuting at the show. 

“JGA is once again asserting its standing as one of the best destinations to source all things jewellery,” said Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery. “The jewellery sector, much like other industries, is currently facing a dynamic and challenging business landscape – one that underscores the importance of building genuine and deeper relationships with customers and of making one’s products and services more relevant to consumers. As the central meeting point perfectly timed for the coming peak selling seasons, JGA can help the buying community accomplish that.”  

JGA has a reputation for offering a diverse range of finished jewellery and serving as a hub for precious materials sourcing. This year, the event’s signature pavilions – CORE, Fine Gem and Fine Design – will make a return. The CORE Pavilion features Hong Kong’s leading jewellery makers and highlights the city’s status as a design and manufacturing hub. In the Fine Gem Pavilion (FGP), top suppliers exhibit premium-quality diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls that are sought after by fine jewellery manufacturers, legacy brands and collectors. Finally, the Fine Design Pavilion (FDP) is where esteemed jewellers will unveil their design-focused collections and one-of-a-kind creations. 

In addition, the fair will feature its popular product-specific pavilions and trade association-led sections, along with a series of seminars and panel discussions. 

Product Preview

Buyers who want to start their product discovery experience weeks before JGA opens may do so by visiting the fair’s online product showcase. Here is a preview of what awaits visitors at JGA.

JGA will be awash with brilliance as major suppliers showcase diamonds in all sizes, colours, clarity grades and cuts. Among those are Sheetal’s round and fancy-cut diamonds, including fancy colour goods; Randal Impex’s baguette diamonds; Surat Trading’s GIA-certified gems in round and fancy cuts, and Net Japan’s selection of more than 4,000 diamonds in sizes ranging from 0.2 carat to 1 carat and above.

Buyers will also discover diamonds of the highest degree of fire and sparkle in FDP and FGP, which will both be located in Hall 3, in addition to coloured gemstones and pearls of the most exceptional quality.

An extensive selection of loose coloured gemstones, including Bright Future Gems’ fine tourmalines in a stunning array of colours; emeralds in uniform dimensions, colour and brilliancy from Emerald 18 Ltd; ammolite cabochons from Enchanted Designs Ltd, and Mexican fire opals from Opalos De Fuego Mexicanos, is also making its way to JGA this June. The abundance of the coloured gemstones on offer gives buyers a sense of the big trends that will define the coming seasons.

Jewellery manufacturers Man King Jewellery, Christelle, NuDia of I M L and Vithal Trading are poised to highlight the very best of their everyday luxury collections. 

Some of their not-to-miss pieces are rings with baguette diamonds, bracelets with fancy-cut diamonds, stylish long earrings with laser-hole diamond drops and charms inspired by auspicious symbols and motifs such as Vithal Trading’s “Lucky Knot” diamond pendant necklace.

New-to-market jewellery collections featuring gemstones prized for their spectacular colours are guaranteed to bring a burst of shine and vibrance to JGA. Offering a first look of their latest product introductions are Guangdong Extreme with its red-carpet worthy diamond sets and everyday luxury lines adorned with emeralds and rubies; Ballet Ruby, which is highlighting its spherical sapphire and diamond pendant collection; Gold Field Co Mfg with its newest range of ruby, sapphire and spinel rings, and Dewcarat, which is shining the spotlight on turquoise.

Used either as centre gems or assembled into strands, pearls are simple stunners that never go out of style. Buyers will find a wide assortment of pearls at JGA, from loose goods to finished jewellery collections, such as Ofir Srl’s beautifully crafted “Hera” ring featuring a Tahitian pearl surrounded by a pavé of diamonds that gradually transitions from cognac brown to white, and Murata Jewelry Trading’s Akoya pearl jewellery line.

Nothing says luxe like gold accessories. At JGA, expect to find the latest and most arresting styles using everyone’s favourite precious metal – from big, bold looks to the elegant and understated.
