Global jewellery industry spotlight turns to Dubai for JGTD 2025
Middle East’s biggest B2B sourcing destination for diamonds, coloured gems and technology solutions opens next month at Dubai Exhibition Centre

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, 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.”
