Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok (JGAB) 2025 is set to take place from April 23-26, 2025, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok, positioning itself as the leading B2B event for the rapidly growing gems and jewellery market in Southeast Asia. With rising GDP growth and a burgeoning middle class in ASEAN countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, the demand for luxury goods is booming, including an increasing popularity of lab-grown diamonds, further accelerating growth in the region’s jewellery sector.

The Southeast Asian jewellery market, valued at USD 9.09 billion last year, is forecast to reach USD 12.42 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.35% from 2025-2033. The global appreciation for gemstones from ASEAN countries, including sapphires, jade, rubies, and silver, is expanding, with Thai jewellery designers making notable contributions with their creative designs. Last year, the export value of gems and jewellery reached USD 9.6 billion, marking a 10.9% year-on-year increase, presenting a significant opportunity for international buyers seeking new partnerships in the region.

JGAB 2025, backed by Informa Markets’ global Jewellery Network, will offer a world-class experience for exhibitors, buyers, and trade visitors. Under the theme “Connecting the World with ASEAN’s Jewellery Excellence,” the event will feature an ASEAN Pavilion, the inaugural Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Summit, and the opportunity to engage with over 150 experts from leading jewellery industries worldwide.

The exhibition will cover 17,000 square meters with over 400 exhibitors from 15 countries, presenting products in categories such as Fine Jewellery, Gemstones, Lab-Grown Diamonds, Silver, Tools & Equipment, and more. The event will also offer various business-building activities, including marketing and knowledge seminars, workshops, designer showcases, rare gem displays, and The Next Gem Contest 2025, which aims to highlight Thai identity in jewellery design.

Business matching activities, such as the hosted buyer program and networking receptions, will be integral to fostering new business opportunities and strengthening connections within the global jewellery market. JGAB 2025 is set to be a pivotal platform for ASEAN’s jewellery industry to establish strong global partnerships and enhance its presence in international markets.

Consortium Led By Former De Beers CEO Gareth Penny Selected As The Preferred Bidder To Acquire De Beers

Botswana is expected to play a pivotal role in the transaction. The country, together with Namibia, Angola and other shareholders, already owns a 15% stake in De Beers

A consortium headed by former De Beers CEO Gareth Penny has been selected as the preferred bidder to acquire De Beers, according to Botswana’s Minister for State President, Defence and Security, Moeti Mohwasa.

Speaking on the development, Mohwasa said Anglo American conducted a competitive sale process involving three shortlisted bidders before identifying the Global Diamond Consortium as its preferred choice.

Anglo American announced plans to divest De Beers in May 2024 as part of a broader restructuring strategy, driven by prolonged weakness in the diamond market and other business priorities.

The sale process has attracted significant interest from industry leaders and investors. Among those previously linked to the bidding were former De Beers CEO Bruce Cleaver, Australian mining executive Michael O’Keeffe, Indian billionaire Anil Agarwal, and Indian diamond companies KGK Group and Kapu Gems.

Botswana is expected to play a pivotal role in the transaction. The country, together with Namibia, Angola and other shareholders, already owns a 15% stake in De Beers and retains important rights under the shareholder agreement. Mohwasa emphasized that Botswana has the flexibility to either join the preferred bidder as a strategic partner or exercise its pre-emptive rights independently or with another investor.

Industry observers believe the eventual owner will seek to preserve De Beers’ vertically integrated business model, spanning diamond mining, trading and global natural diamond marketing, while positioning the company to benefit from a potential recovery in natural diamond demand and prices.
