The three‑day gathering will host buyers representing over 100 markets, creating a focal point for the global jewellery supply chain. Organisers Informa Markets and the Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) say the event reinforces Dubai’s role as a crossroads for trade.
Country pavilions will showcase offerings from China, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Türkiye. Attendees can also attend seminars led by industry experts, providing insights into emerging trends.
Among the exhibitors are fine jewellery makers such as AV Globale, Jawhara and Unison Manufacturing, while gemstone suppliers include Hari Krishna, SRK and HC Arnoldi. Technology firms like Bulunmaz Machinery and Smartpro will demonstrate production tools.
Its core partners remain strong. The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre returns as Official Partner, and the Dubai Jewellery Group continues its Industry Partner role for a fifth year.
Running alongside it, the second edition of Dubai Diamond Week will span 26–29 October. The week kicks off with the seventh Dubai Diamond Conference, themed “Diamond 2.0: A Strategic Reset – Reigniting Desire, Unlocking New Value.”

“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.
Marco Carniello, Chief Business Officer of 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.”
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman of DMCC, noted the emirate’s record‑breaking diamond trade of USD 41.7 billion in 2025 and stressed the need for a trusted platform that unites the value chain.
In the middle of the schedule, the exhibition offers a rare chance for suppliers to test new collections ahead of peak selling periods.
This timing can feel like a bit of a circus of calendars, yet it gives buyers a chance to place orders well before holiday rushes.
From a practical standpoint, the convergence of manufacturers, gemstone traders and tech providers means that a retailer in Europe could walk away with a ready‑to‑sell line of diamond‑set bracelets, a batch of ethically sourced coloured stones, and the machinery needed to customise pieces on‑site. The immediacy of such deals could shorten lead times dramatically.
Tawhid Abdulla, Chairman of the Dubai Jewellery Group, emphasized the fair’s role in linking manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and technology providers to create meaningful business partnerships.
