74th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair Set for September 2026 with Expanded Global Showcase
Stronger Participation, Wider Sourcing Opportunities, and Enhanced Exhibition Space Position the Fair as a Key Platform for Global Jewellery Trade
The 74th edition of the Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair is scheduled to take place from September 8–12, 2026, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok, building on the strong momentum of its previous edition.
The 73rd edition recorded an impressive THB 4.75 billion in trade value and attracted over 40,000 visitors from 118 countries, reinforcing the fair’s position as a global sourcing hub for the jewellery industry.
This year, organisers have expanded the exhibition footprint to cover the entire QSNCC venue, including Halls 1–8 and Plenary Halls 1–4, with the addition of Plenary Hall 3. The move aims to accommodate growing exhibitor demand and improve navigation across product categories.
For jewellery retailers, the fair offers access to a diverse supplier base, spanning loose gemstones, finished jewellery, and manufacturing services. It also enables connections with OEM and ODM partners, supporting the creation of customised collections tailored to regional markets and pricing strategies.
Positioned within Thailand’s well-established gemstone and jewellery manufacturing ecosystem, the event provides opportunities to explore competitive sourcing, diversify supply chains, and gain insights into global trends.
With its broad product mix, international participation, and strong industry relevance, the upcoming edition is expected to support inventory planning, supplier discovery, and business expansion for jewellery retailers worldwide.

Precious Metals Under Pressure: Diplomatic Shifts, Geopolitical Risk, and Central Bank Outlook AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
- Safe-Haven Dynamics – Gold is trading below $4650 as investors evaluate ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the US–Iran conflict. The crisis has caused a significant energy supply disruption and heightened inflation concerns. Iran has proposed halting its operations in the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a complete ceasefire and removal of the US blockade on Iranian ports.
- Geopolitical Developments – Tehran has submitted a new proposal to Washington via Pakistani intermediaries, offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz conditional on the US lifting its blockade, while postponing discussions on its nuclear program. Washington remains skeptical and is likely to respond with counter-proposals in the near term. Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain the central point of disagreement between the two sides.
- Macro-economic Signals – Markets are also focused on upcoming monetary policy decisions by the Fed, ECB, and BOJ this week. Persistent energy price inflation, driven by Middle East tensions, has strengthened expectations that central banks may maintain or further raise interest rates. This monetary tightening outlook is exerting downward pressure on gold prices.Â
