SIJE 2026 To Host 450+ Global Brands As Singapore Welcomes Back The World Diamond Congress After 38 Years
The Largest Edition In The Expo’s History Will Coincide With The Inaugural Singapore Diamond & Jewellery Week From 9–15 July 2026.
Singapore International Jewellery Expo (SIJE) 2026 is set to stage its largest-ever edition, bringing together more than 450 brands and exhibitors from 26 countries across 10,000 square metres at Marina Bay Sands from 9 to 12 July 2026.
The event will be officially inaugurated by Alvin Tan, Minister of State for the Ministry of Trade & Industry and the Ministry of National Development, Singapore, and is expected to attract around 18,000 trade buyers and consumers over four days.
A major highlight of this year’s edition is Singapore hosting the 41st World Diamond Congress for the first time since 1988, marking the prestigious event’s return to the city-state after 38 years. The Congress, scheduled from 12 to 15 July at PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, will bring together global leaders from across the diamond value chain, including miners, manufacturers, traders, retailers and industry associations.
SIJE 2026 also forms one of the two pillars of the inaugural Singapore Diamond & Jewellery Week (SDJW), a week-long celebration running from 9 to 15 July 2026 that will feature retail experiences, industry events, promotions and international showcases across the island nation.
Despite ongoing global economic uncertainties, SIJE 2026 has recorded its strongest international participation to date, underlining confidence in Singapore’s position as a trusted hub for jewellery, luxury retail, gemstones and high-value trade.
The exhibition will feature prominent country pavilions and exhibitors from Italy, Hong Kong and Uzbekistan, alongside leading jewellers, gemstone dealers, luxury watchmakers, designers and manufacturers from around the world.

One of the unique attractions this year will be the display of a replica of the historic Crown of Carlo di Borbone at the Diamond Exchange of Singapore (DES) Pavilion. The crown, originally created in the 18th century for Charles III of Spain, has been reconstructed from historical records and is linked to the legendary “Perfect Colour of Violet” diamond
Organised by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG) Asia, SIJE continues to strengthen Singapore’s role as a gateway to the rapidly expanding markets of Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.
Industry observers note that the scale of SIJE 2026, coupled with the return of the World Diamond Congress, reflects growing momentum in the regional luxury market and reinforces Singapore’s standing as one of the world’s most important centres for jewellery trade, craftsmanship, innovation and international business exchange.

T.GOLD Debuts In September: Hall 4 Becomes Vicenzaoro’s New Technological Innovation Hub
The first September edition of T. Gold, the international exhibition dedicated to jewellery and gold processing technologies, will take place from 4 to 8 September 2026 alongside Vicenzaoro September. The event will debut in its new home at Hall 4 of the Vicenza Expo Centre, following the completion of redevelopment works undertaken by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG).
T.Gold continues to evolve as a leading international platform for technological innovation, machinery, and advanced manufacturing solutions for the gold, jewellery, and watchmaking sectors. By moving into Hall 4, the event will, for the first time, be fully integrated within the IEG Expo Centre, enabling complete alignment with Vicenzaoro in both its January and September editions.

The new location reinforces the connection between production, design, and technology, positioning innovation as a strategic enabler of creativity and manufacturing excellence. Vicenzaoro thus further consolidates its role as a comprehensive hub representing the entire jewellery supply chain under one roof.
With participation from more than 170 international companies, T.Gold remains the foremost showcase for technologies driving competitiveness across the jewellery industry. Key themes include sustainability, precious metal recovery, advanced quality control, process automation, reduced time-to-market, and new creative possibilities for designers and manufacturers.
The event targets decision-makers from across the global value chain, including production and R&D managers, CEOs, manufacturing entrepreneurs, sustainability leaders, refinery and foundry operators, specialist workshops, 3D designers, technology distributors, and high-end jewellery retailers.
Leading International Machinery Companies to Exhibit
The exhibition will feature some of the world’s most prominent technology providers, offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience live machinery demonstrations.
Among the leading Italian participants are Sisma, Fasti, and Orotig for industrial goldsmithing technologies and laser systems; DWS and Legor Group for additive manufacturing; Ikoi and Tera Automation for industrial automation; and Italimpianti Orafi, Progold, and Germany’s Helmut Fischer for plant engineering, alloys, and quality control.
International exhibitors include Willemin-Macodel and Starrag Vuadens from Switzerland for high-precision machining; Indutherm and Lampert Werktechnik from Germany for casting and micro-welding technologies; Ransom & Randolph from the United States for micro-casting materials; and Asian technology companies such as Aczet and Flashforge 3D Technology.
Sustainability and circular economy solutions will also take centre stage through technologies developed by B.T.T. Italia, Balestri Technologies, and Eurotecniche, focusing on precious metal recovery, refining, and industrial waste treatment.
Additive Manufacturing at the Heart of the Jewellery Technology Forum
One of the event’s principal attractions will be the T.Gold Smart Hub, a newly created events area located at the centre of Hall 4.
On 7 September, the hub will host the Jewellery Technology Forum, which celebrates its 21st anniversary this year. The Forum will evolve into a dedicated platform exploring Additive Manufacturing for the jewellery and luxury sectors, bringing together experts from research, industry, and design.
Through presentations, case studies, and discussions led by international specialists and key opinion leaders, the programme will examine how additive technologies are reshaping both creative processes and manufacturing models across the luxury landscape.
Strategic Partnerships Drive International Growth
T.Gold’s position as a cornerstone of technological innovation within the jewellery sector is further reinforced through its renewed three-year partnership with AFEMO, the Jewellery Machinery Manufacturers and Exporters Association.
Its collaboration with ICE Meccanica continues to support targeted international buyer programmes designed to attract decision-makers, industry leaders, and buyers from both established export destinations and emerging production markets with strong growth potential.
Technology as the Engine of the Jewellery Supply Chain
With an increasingly integrated international technology offering, stronger industrial collaborations, and a dedicated focus on Additive Manufacturing, T.Gold reaffirms its status as the leading innovation platform serving the global jewellery and watchmaking industry.
The relocation from Hall 9, previously located outside the Expo Centre, to Hall 4 forms part of IEG’s €60 million self-financed infrastructure expansion programme, which will also see the inauguration of the new Hall 2 in September.
Commenting on the development, Matteo Farsura, Global Exhibition Manager of the Jewellery & Fashion Division at IEG, said:

With this edition, T.Gold is taking a decisive step towards further growth. Its move into IEG’s Expo Centre and total integration with Vicenzaoro will strengthen the role of technology as a driving force behind the jewellery supply chain’s evolution and expand business opportunities, contributing to the development of an industry that must constantly adapt to rapidly changing markets. It is not just a question of machinery, but also of expertise, research, and innovation that will secure the sector’s future.”
