Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW), formerly the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, is the world’s largest jewellery and gem trade fair. Organised by Informa Markets Asia, the 2025 edition hosted 3,103 exhibitors across 40+ pavilions and 55,176 trade visitors from 141 countries. It covers the whole value chain, from loose stones to finished jewellery. For gem dealers, jewellery manufacturers and suppliers to the trade, the JGW attendee list is the most international jewellery audience anywhere.

This guide is for the September 2027 edition.

Preparing for JGW 2027

  2. Book hotels early near the venue you’ll spend most time at.
  3. Schedule appointments ahead; walk-ins are less effective with high-value goods.

Event apps are built for browsing, not for sales teams. They cap connections, hide data behind logins and rarely let you export anything. I pull attendee, exhibitor and speaker data from the app and the event website, enrich every profile and hand you a clean file before the doors open, so your reps can book meetings in advance and follow up properly afterwards.
