Singapore International Jewellery Expo Launches a New Brand Identity Ahead of its 2026 Edition
SIJE Unveils a Refreshed Identity Focused on Discovery, Accessibility, and a More Engaging Luxury Experience
The Singapore International Jewellery Expo (SIJE), owned and managed by IEG Asia Pte. Ltd., announced today its refreshed brand identity, marking a significant milestone for the show’s 2026 edition.
As one of Asia’s leading luxury jewellery exhibitions, SIJE brings together more than 250 of the world’s most exceptional jewellers and watchmakers in one destination, for all visitors. The rebrand signals an exciting evolution for the event, which will take place from 9 to 12 July 2026 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
The transformation consists of a refreshed logo and an updated visual identity, which includes brand colours and contemporary imagery, reflecting SIJE’s commitment to creating an inviting and discovery-driven experience for visitors and exhibitors alike. The refreshed logo showcases a modern font style with diamond iconography. SIJE’s new brand colour features a rich, deep purple, chosen specifically for its significance to luxury and royalty.

The new brand identity will be introduced across all of the show’s communications and fully integrated throughout both exhibitor and visitor journeys—from its marketing and digital platforms to the physical exhibition environment on show days.
A New Chapter Rooted in Discovery
The rebrand is anchored in SIJE’s new brand manifesto, which places discovery, accessibility, connection and confidence at the heart of the show’s experience.
Ilaria Cicero, CEO of IEG Asia, said, “Every meaningful discovery begins with a journey. At SIJE, that journey opens the door to the world’s finest jewellery and timepieces, brought together so visitors can explore, compare and choose with confidence—all in one comfortable and convenient destination, the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, located at Marina Bay Sands.”
Over the last two decades, SIJE has welcomed collectors, connoisseurs, industry professionals, and luxury enthusiasts from across Asia and beyond. The refreshed identity reflects the show’s continued ambition to be Asia’s main destination where global craftsmanship meets a modern, curious audience seeking to discover the new and trending, beyond traditional retail brands.
“This rebrand represents the next phase of our journey by creating a more contemporary, engaging and welcoming environment that reflects how today’s audiences explore and experience luxury,” added Dr Ilaria Cicero.
A Reimagined Visitor Experience
Beyond visual changes, the 2026 edition will also introduce a refreshed event programme and exhibition layout, designed to enhance exploration and create a more intuitive flow throughout the show.
Visitors can expect:
• A thoughtfully curated showcase of international jewellery houses, independent watchmakers, and technological innovations and equipment;
• Improved navigation and discovery zones within the exhibition, including hospitality areas;
• New programme elements that encourage deeper engagement with craftsmanship, design and innovation;
• Enhanced use of digital platforms to better match buyers with exhibitors;
• An extensive Visitor ‘Xperience’ programme including Singapore hotels, attractions and F&B deals with the SIJE entry badge.
Luxury That Feels Inviting
At the heart of the new SIJE identity is a simple philosophy: new luxury should feel inviting, not intimidating—a journey shaped by curiosity, guided by knowledge, and enriched by choice.
Whether a visitor travels across the globe or just across the city, each arrival is marked by a purpose—a milestone, selecting a meaningful gift, or simply discovering something extraordinary. SIJE presents access to what truly matters—connecting beauty, craftsmanship, and time well chosen—a journey to discover the world’s finest.

Israel’s Diamond Industry Hits Record Lows
From January To June 2026, Israel Exported Only $2.4 Billion In Diamonds. At Its Peak In 2015, That Figure Was Around $7 Billion—More Than Three Times Higher.
Israel’s diamond exports have dropped dramatically to their lowest levels in history. Reflecting these difficult times, the head of the Israel Diamond Exchange has announced his resignation.
Key Numbers
- Massive Drop in Exports: From January to June 2026, Israel exported only $2.4 billion in diamonds. At its peak in 2015, that figure was around $7 billion—more than three times higher.
- Total Trade Shrinking: Total industry trade (combining imports and exports) fell to $4 billion, down from $12 billion during its best years.
Why Is the Industry Struggling?
- Competition from Dubai: Dubai has become a major global diamond hub, drawing traders away from Israel with lower tax rates.
- Lab-Grown Diamonds: Man-made diamonds are significantly cheaper than natural ones, taking away a large portion of the market.
- New U.S. Tariffs: A new 10% import tax on diamonds was recently introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Since the U.S. buys about 20% of Israel’s diamond exports, this tax hits the local industry hard.
- Shifting Consumer Habits: Younger buyers are spending more money on experiences rather than luxury jewelry. Additionally, diamond demand in China has slowed down significantly.
Global Impact & What’s Next
The downturn isn’t just affecting Israel; it is a global issue. Even De Beers—one of the world’s biggest diamond companies—has been put up for sale for the first time ever.
Despite these setbacks, Israel still holds key advantages in the market, such as strong client relationships and deep expertise in cutting large, rare, and colored diamonds. Israeli officials are currently negotiating with the U.S. to lower the new tariffs and working with their own government for tax relief to help the industry bounce back.
