Top names in fine jewellery, gemstones and technology are heading to the City of Gold next month for the fourth edition of Jewellery, Gem & Technology in Dubai (JGTD), show organisers Informa Markets Jewellery and Italian Exhibition Group SpA (IEG) announced today.

Taking place from 11 – 13 November in Halls 1 & 2 South of the Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City, JGTD is bringing together 350+ exhibitors from close to 30 countries and regions, including first-time participants from Kazakhstan, Jordan and Taiwan. Reinforcing the fair’s global profile are eight country and regional pavilions representing major suppliers from China, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Türkiye and the US. Together, they will present a comprehensive showcase of finished jewellery, diamonds, coloured gemstones, and industry tools, equipment and technology solutions, among others.

The B2B marketplace likewise continues to join forces with two of the jewellery sector’s powerful champions – DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) returning as an Official Partner and Dubai Jewellery Group (DJG) maintaining its role as an Industry Partner for the fourth consecutive year.

Dubai’s November fair offers the best of both worlds – holiday inventory sourcing plus 2026 planning.

“Returning to Dubai feels like a homecoming for many of us. Four years have brought significant changes and valuable lessons across our sector, driving JGTD to evolve alongside the needs of the international buying community. Dubai’s established position as the Middle East’s hub for gold, jewellery and gemstone sourcing makes it the ideal setting for this transformation – where our industry’s finest gather at a time when relationships are more important than before,” said Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery.

JGTD delivers exactly what is needed: A platform where wholesalers, retailers, brands and jewellery manufacturers can source strategically, engage with seasoned suppliers and access straight-from-source data essential for navigating today’s business landscape, Lau continued.

“The sector faces considerable challenges, with additional uncertainties on the horizon. That’s why strategic buying and informed decision-making are more crucial now. In this market, the right partnerships and insights don’t just create opportunities – they may well be the key to sustained success,” she said.

This collaborative approach is shared across JGTD’s leadership. 

Marco Carniello , Chief Business Officer at Italian Exhibition Group, commented, “We are proud to support jewellery companies worldwide by bringing added value through JGTD, empowering them with greater competitiveness, market intelligence and business opportunities. This is possible, thanks to the joint strength of leading global players such as Informa Markets Jewellery and IEG, with the unmissable support of key stakeholders in Dubai such as DMCC and DJG.

Being at JGTD means gaining access to the Middle East’s largest trade hub for diamonds and coloured gemstones – a unique resource for those looking to strengthen their offerings and respond quickly to global demand. At the same time, we are building the show as the region’s go-to destination for advanced machinery and technology solutions, essential for driving efficiency and elevating production standards. Finally, with exhibitors from nearly 30 countries, JGTD secures an unparalleled level of international business. It is this combination – product, technology and global reach – that makes JGTD a must-attend event for companies determined to grow and compete successfully worldwide.”

Ahmed Bin Sulayem

Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DMCC, reinforced this perspective, adding, “JGTD is a flagship event for the global gemstone and jewellery industry and a leading regional B2B sourcing platform. Building on last year’s record footfall during Dubai Diamond Week, JGTD 2025 comes at a pivotal moment – high gold prices, shifting consumer trends and Dubai’s growing prominence as a leading trade hub for diamonds and gold are shaping the sector’s future.

Together with Informa Markets and Italian Exhibition Group, we look forward to welcoming the industry back to Dubai to drive global trade, host critical conversations and set the agenda for the next phase of growth in gemstones and jewellery.”

Senco Gold & Diamonds Partners With Olocker to Give Customers Free Jewellery Insurance, Letting Precious Memories Be Worn, Not Hidden Away

A Customer-First Initiative Designed to Help People Wear Their Precious Memories with Confidence.

Published

on

Senco Gold & Diamonds, one of India’s most trusted jewellery houses, has partnered with Olocker, India’s first dedicated jewellery insurance platform, to offer free jewellery insurance to its customers, protecting purchases against risks such as snatching, robbery, and housebreaking.

On the surface, it’s a simple value-add: buy jewellery from Senco, get it insured, at no extra cost. But the thinking behind it is more personal — the freedom to actually live with the things you love. 

There is a quiet ritual that plays out in homes across India every wedding season, every anniversary. A piece of jewellery is bought with love, worn once or twice with pride — and then, almost apologetically, tucked away in a bank locker for “safekeeping.” The very thing meant to be cherished ends up spending most of its life in the dark.

A Locker Is No Place for a Memory

Ask any family that owns fine jewellery, and you’ll hear the same quiet anxiety: the fear of stepping out wearing something precious, the fear of a break-in while the house is empty. For many, the solution has always been the same — lock it away, take it out only for weddings and festivals, and let it sit untouched the rest of the year.

It’s a practical response to a real risk, but it also means jewellery bought to mark a marriage or a milestone ends up being seen far less than it deserves.

This is the exact problem Senco Gold & Diamonds’ Managing Director, Suvankar Sen,

has spoken about wanting to solve. Known for a customer-first philosophy that goes beyond transactions, Sen has often said jewellery should be something people live with, not something they merely own. “Jewellery is never just metal and stone,” Sen said, explaining the thinking behind the Olocker partnership. “It’s a wedding day, a mother’s blessing, a promise kept. When customers can’t step out wearing it, or can’t leave home without worrying about a break-in, something is broken in that experience. We wanted to fix that.” 

That sentiment is the quiet engine behind this initiative. Rather than simply selling jewellery and stepping back, Senco has chosen to walk the extra mile — ensuring that once a customer takes a piece home, they can wear it freely and pass it down through generations, without the constant undercurrent of worry. 

What the Partnership Actually Offers

Through this collaboration, Senco customers receive free jewellery insurance via Olocker on qualifying purchases, protecting against snatching, robbery, and housebreaking.

Olocker, India’s first digital platform dedicated to jewellery insurance and asset tracking, brings the technical and insurance backbone — while Senco brings its decades of trust, built since 1938, to make sure customers actually use it. 

For a family that has just bought a piece for a wedding, this means peace of mind — wearing that necklace to a dinner without the nagging thought of “what if someone snatches it,” or “what if someone breaks in while we’re away.” 

A Partnership Built on Shared Intent

The excitement isn’t one-sided. At Olocker, the partnership is seen as validation of the idea the platform was built on — that jewellery insurance should be a natural, everyday companion to ownership, not a niche afterthought.

“This is genuinely one of the most exciting collaborations we’ve been part of,” said Milind Shethia, Founder & Chief Marketing Officer at Olocker. “Our mission has been to help people wear their jewellery instead of locking it away, and partnering with a name as trusted as Senco brings that mission to millions of customers at once.

What’s heartening is Mr. Sen’s own approach — he didn’t look at it as a marketing tie-up, but as giving something back to people who’ve trusted Senco for generations. That kind of intent is rare, and it’s exactly the spirit we built Olocker around.” 

That mutual sense of purpose is what gives this partnership its quiet credibility. It isn’t a scheme or a promotional hook, but two organisations agreeing on a simple, shared belief: jewellery should be lived in, not locked up. 

A Bigger Idea About Ownership

There is a broader philosophy at play, one Suvankar Sen has championed throughout his tenure at Senco — that jewellery is an emotional asset as much as a financial one, and customers shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying it and protecting it.

This partnership feels less like a marketing initiative and more like a promise kept, reflecting a leadership style that measures success in something harder to quantify — how cared for a customer feels long after leaving the showroom. 

As jewellery increasingly doubles as adornment and investment, initiatives like this one may well set a new benchmark for customer care in the industry.

Senco, through its partnership with Olocker, isn’t just insuring jewellery against snatching or a break-in — it’s giving people back the freedom to wear their memories, out loud, without fear.
