As one of the largest and most prestigious jewellery events of the year, HKTDC’s Twin Jewellery Shows bring together exhibitors and buyers from around the world. The shows are a successful platform for driving sales, sourcing diverse and innovative products, and securing significant orders. Supported by HKTDC’s professional management and highly accessible digital tools, every year the shows become a global focal point of business, innovative and sales for the international jewellery industry for almost a week.
The Twin Jewellery Shows in Hong Kong
The term “Twin Jewellery Shows” refers to the fact that, for almost a week, two events, the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show and the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, are held concurrently, offering a comprehensive sourcing platform for international buyers and retailers.
The success of the Twin Jewellery Shows can easily be measured through concrete numbers.
Earlier this year, the Hong Kong Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show gathered almost 1,700 exhibitors from over 33 countries and regions and pulled almost 32,000 buyers from over 125 countries and regions.
Similarly, the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show brought over 2,300 exhibitors under one roof and drew about 51,000 buyers and retailers from different parts of the world.
How the Twin Jewellery Shows Work Together
An important point to consider is how well the shows complement each other. This is because the shared promotion and cross-traffic between them create valuable synergies.
Buyers can access both gem materials and finished goods concurrently.
At the same time, diamond, gemstone, and pearl suppliers can meet with gemstone wholesalers, independent jewellery designers as well as representatives of established jewellery brands.
Moreover, finished jewellery exhibitors can connect with loose gemstone and jewellery-material exhibitors, while also networking with jewellery retailers from around the world.
As a result, exhibitors in both shows can benefit from a stronger buyer turnout, since many buyers who attend one show are also likely to attend the other. The high foot traffic at both shows results in greater networking opportunities, which lead to solid lead generation for buyers and exhibitors alike.
In addition, integrated buyer-seller matching services, such as HKTDC’s Click2Match as well as their Marketplace App, help streamline business. The concept of a “one-stop shop” and its convenience for buyers and exhibitors alike is what makes these annual shows so successful.
Success Stories of Exhibitors
For many exhibitors, the HKTDC Twin Jewellery Shows are the most important jewellery event of the year, since they underscore substantial growth in their business.
Long-term exhibitors always emphasize the value of consistency that the shows promise. Due to the high quality and reliability of the buyers who attend the show, many exhibitors return year after year to participate in the HKTDC Twin Jewellery show.
For many other exhibitors, the shows provide access to diverse international audiences. As a result, exhibitors are able to do business with buyers arriving from Europe, North America, Australia, and even the Middle east. During this past show, some exhibitors recorded a significant year-on-year sales increase, with some achieving upto three-fold growth, simply because they were able to connect with buyers from a wide range of countries and regions.
Many exhibitors have also noticed a direct link between growth in the global jewellery industry and growth in the HKTDC Twin Jewellery Shows. For instance, the Middle East is one of the fastest growing regions of the global jewellery industry. For many exhibitors, the increased year-on-year participation of buyers, brands and designers from this region at the HKTDC jewellery shows is a direct reflection of this trend.
Success Stories of Buyers
Buyers across both events return year after year, drawn by the significant business wins and opportunities the shows always deliver.
The shows provide an efficient and convenient sourcing platform for buyers searching for loose gems, pre-finished jewellery materials as well as finished jewellery. Many buyers conduct business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars within the five days of both shows, while also saving significantly on travel and accommodation costs.
The shows also provide excellent opportunities for buyers to explore new and innovative product categories. These include modern and contemporary jewellery designs, the introduction to sustainable jewellery materials, and fresh branding ideas and marketing avenues.
For instance, the International Jewellery Show hosted the “Gold Jewellery Zone” for the first time in 2025. This was of particular interest to many jewellery buyers since the pavilion showcased fine jewellery crafted entirely from gold. At a time when gold prices have been rising, the Gold Jewellery Zone was not only able to showcase the beauty and economic durability of gold jewellery but also highlighted affordable gold jewellery collections that paid homage to both classic and modern design motifs.
Thus, the combination of scale, diversity, and efficiency have made the Twin Jewellery Shows the preferred global sourcing destination for many buyers, year after year. And every year, they have many success stories to share.
Hong Kong as a Destination
Another important aspect of the Twin Jewellery Shows is the city hosting them. Vibrant and cosmopolitan, Hong Kong is an attractive destination for travellers from all over the world. Its iconic skyline, art galleries and museums as well as superb shopping has made Hong Kong a prime travel destination for many across the world.
With its mix of world-class dining and luxury experiences, exhibitors and buyers have a chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of this modern city after a day at the shows. Therefore, not only the shows, but the city itself leaves a memorable impression on both exhibitors and buyers alike.
