The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) successfully hosted two prestigious jewellery shows in early March 2025, drawing approximately 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions. Notably, around 70% of the participants came from outside Hong Kong, highlighting the event’s global appeal.
The 11th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show kicked off on March 2, 2025, at AsiaWorld-Expo, running until March 6. The event showcased a diverse array of raw materials for jewellery production. Following closely, the 41st Hong Kong International Jewellery Show opened on March 4 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai, concluding on March 8. This exhibition featured a stunning collection of finished jewellery pieces.
In response to industry trends, the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show introduced a dedicated Gold Jewellery Zone. It also highlighted affordable luxury jewellery, men’s and unisex collections, and other uniquely designed products. Over 30 seminars, networking events, and parades were organized to facilitate industry dialogue and share insights on the latest market developments.
Sophia Chong, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, emphasized the global significance of the event. “This year’s twin jewellery shows have brought together 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions, with nearly 70% coming from outside Hong Kong. Exhibitors from Japan, Spain, French Polynesia, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and Lebanon have expanded their presence at the fairs,” she said.
Chong added, “The two shows are expected to attract more than 110 buyer missions, showcasing HKTDC’s ability to create a world-class trading platform for the jewellery industry. This further solidifies Hong Kong’s position as a global hub for jewellery sourcing and trading.”
Despite challenges in the global jewellery market, Hong Kong’s fine jewellery exports saw significant growth in 2024. Exports to the United States increased by over 10% year-on-year, while shipments to the European Union, the Middle East, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region rose by 6.5%, 3.8%, and 2.6%, respectively.
The twin shows underscored Hong Kong’s pivotal role in the international jewellery trade, offering a platform for global exhibitors and buyers to connect, innovate, and thrive.
