Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong brings together 1,300+ exhibitors from 19 – 22 June 2025 at HKCEC
Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA) is gearing up to welcome thousands of trade buyers from around the world this June, offering abundant mid-year opportunities for product discovery, sourcing and partnerships, show organiser Informa Markets Jewellery announced today. JGA is taking place from 19 to 22 June at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Buyers may skip the long queues onsite by pre-registering online between now and 11 June.
With 1,300+ exhibitors representing 30+ countries and regions, the B2B jewellery and gemstone buying event is uniquely positioned as Asia’s premier summer meeting place for major product debuts and bold ideas, said Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery.
“The June show offers exceptional buying opportunities for wholesalers and retailers looking to fulfil urgent orders or stock up for the second half of the year – be it loose diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls, finished jewellery, packaging, equipment & tools and industry-related technologies,” Lau shared. “More importantly, due to its strategic timing, JGA is the perfect venue for suppliers to inspire and energise the industry with their latest collections in between seasons. The show does not only keep buyers attuned to market trends but also prepares them for the world’s largest B2B fine jewellery sourcing destination in September – Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW).”
JGA will introduce three standout attractions: The groundbreaking Orient Odyssey 2.0 pearl exhibit (Stand 3M260), a dedicated Gold Jewellery Pavilion and the announcement of the Finalists for the Sustainability Awards 2025 by JWA (Jewellery World Awards).
Launched at JGW last September, Orient Odyssey 2.0 is a new iteration of the curated space celebrating the “Queen of Gems.” Exclusive to the iconic Hong Kong fair, OO 2.0 will present a wider variety of pearl exhibits and interactive elements, offering buyers the opportunity to journey into the world of pearls without ever leaving the show floor. Initiated by Informa’s Jewellery & Gem Knowledge Community, the featured showcase is supported by the biggest names in the pearl industry, led by Platinum Sponsors Autore, Jewelmer, Paspaley Pearling Company and Rio Pearl.
Another highlight is the Gold Jewellery Pavilion. This zone is a hotspot for cutting-edge trends and advancements in gold jewellery production and design, illustrating the endless possibilities achievable with this precious medium.
On the green front, Informa’s Sustainability Awards 2025 by JWA will reveal the finalists at the JGA Media Gathering set for 19 June. The winners will be officially announced in July and honoured at an Awards Presentation Ceremony during the JGW Fair Reception on 17 September at the HKCEC.
JGA will also host panel discussions and exhibitor-led sessions. Among the key events are dialogues on “The Rise of the Eco-Friendly Luxury Consumer” on 19 June and “For the Love of Pearls: A Millennial and Gen Z Affair” on 20 June.

P N Gadgil and Sons Welcomes Sonali Bendre As Brand Ambassador
Iconic Actor To Lead Brand’s Flagship Campaign, Launched On 8th May. Campaign Celebrates The Timeless Bond Between Women, Gold, and Grace
P. N. Gadgil & Sons (PNGS), one of India’s most trusted jewellery brands with over 192+ years of legacy, today announced the appointment of celebrated actor Sonali Bendre as its Brand Ambassador. The campaign launched on 8th May 2026, with Sonali as the face of PNGS’s main brand identity — featuring the Mangalsutra, traditional jewellery collections, and the brand’s enduring promise of jewellery as heirloom, not merely adornment.
A Meeting of Legacies
The partnership is rooted in a rare alignment of values. Sonali Bendre is one of India’s most enduring cultural figures — an actor who rose to iconic status in the 1990s and 2000s, and who has since earned equal admiration for her resilience, authenticity, and grace. Her personal journey through adversity, faced with quiet courage, has made her a symbol of strength for generations of Indian women. As a mother deeply rooted in her Indian identity, she is a natural and powerful fit for a brand that has stood beside Indian families at their most meaningful moments for over 192+ years. For PNGS, she is not just a celebrity endorser — she is a cultural mirror. The Mangalsutra she wears in the campaign is not a prop; it is a statement about the women PNGS has always served and celebrated.
192 Years of Gold, Trust, and Heritage
Founded in 1832 in Sangli, Maharashtra, PNGS has grown from a family workshop to a pan-India retail presence synonymous with hallmarked gold, BIS-certified craftsmanship, and deep cultural heritage. The brand’s promise has always been gold that carries meaning — pieces designed for the milestones they mark, weddings, namakaran ceremonies, anniversaries, and the quiet devotion that defines the relationship between Indian women and their jewellery. The campaign that launched on 8th May extends that promise to a new generation — speaking to the woman who is both rooted and aspirational, who values her heritage without being bound by it.
Aditya Modak, CFO and COO, P N Gadgil and Sons, said:
“At PNGS, every piece of jewellery we create carries the weight of trust — trust built over 192+ years with millions of Indian families. Welcoming Sonali Bendre as our Brand Ambassador is a natural extension of that promise. She embodies the grace, strength, and cultural pride that define the women who wear our jewellery. This partnership is not just a campaign — it is a conversation we are beginning with a new generation of PNGS women, and we could not have found a more authentic voice to lead it.”
Sonali Bendre added:
“Jewellery, for Indian women, has never just been about adornment — it is about identity, memory, and love passed down through generations. P N Gadgil and Sons understands this at a cellular level, and that is what drew me to this partnership. Wearing PNGS jewellery is not a role I am playing — it is a reflection of who I am and what I believe in. I am honoured to be the face of a brand that has been woven into the fabric of so many Indian families’ stories over centuries.”
