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.
