Q: What is the purpose of Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA)?
A: JGA serves as Asia’s largest mid-year B2B fine jewellery sourcing platform. It provides a comprehensive marketplace with two distinct fairs, designed to streamline sourcing for industry professionals.
JGA: Jewellery takes place in Hall 1 of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wanchai. This show brings together the world’s leading suppliers of finished jewellery in plain gold or studded with diamonds, coloured gemstones, pearls and other precious materials.
JGA: Diamonds, Gemstones & Pearls+ in Halls 3 & 5 of the HKCEC offers the world’s top suppliers of loose precious materials, ranging from diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls, among others.
The marketplace draws thousands of wholesalers, retailers and distributors, along with a combined total of approximately 1,200 exhibitors from nearly 30 countries and regions. Featuring over 30 theme and group pavilions, buyers can explore the entire jewellery industry – from diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls to fine jewellery, tools and equipment, and packaging solutions – all in one convenient location.
