The 37th edition of IJT to connect global buyers with leading manufacturers across Japan and Asia.
Visitor registration is now open for International Jewellery Tokyo (IJT) 2026, one of Japan’s largest and most influential jewellery trade shows. The event is scheduled to take place from January 14-17, 2026, at the Tokyo Big Sight.
IJT 2026 stands out as a premier sourcing destination, welcoming professionals to discover an expansive display of over 1.25 million jewellery pieces. The event will bring together an expected 620 exhibitors and 22,000 visitors from across the globe, offering a comprehensive platform for networking and business development. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore a diverse range of products, including diamond jewellery, gemstone jewellery, pearls, gold, silver, and loose stones.
Building on the remarkable achievements of the 2025 show series—which attracted record attendance, generated robust business opportunities, and showcased the industry’s most innovative creations—this event marks the beginning of RX Japan’s annual trio of jewellery trade shows. The International Jewellery Tokyo (IJT) 2026 enters its 37th edition, renowned for its longstanding reputation and influence across Japan and Asia’s jewellery market. This will be followed by the 30th edition of International Jewellery Kobe (IJK) in May and the 14th edition of International Jewellery Tokyo Autumn (IJT Autumn) in October. This series is strategically scheduled to align with Japan’s key retail cycles, providing consistent touchpoints for the jewellery industry throughout the year. This structure is designed to maximise buyer engagement and support exhibitors with valuable seasonal sales opportunities.
Visitors of IJT 2026 will benefit from access to a premium sourcing environment, connecting them with leading manufacturers and suppliers from Japan and Asia. The show is trusted by industry professionals as the go-to venue for discovering new products, identifying market trends, and forging valuable business partnerships. Professionals in the jewellery industry, including retailers, wholesalers, and designers, are encouraged to secure their attendance.
T.Gold, the leading B2B trade show for jewellery technology by Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), will run from January 16th to 20th, 2026, concurrently with Vicenzaoro. The event highlights how advanced machinery is crucial for optimizing costs, especially with rising gold prices, and promoting sustainable production across the gold and jewellery supply chain.
Key Highlights:
- Dates & Location: January 16-20, 2026, at the Vicenza Expo Centre (Hall 9), alongside Vicenzaoro January.
- Focus: Showcase of machinery and technology that enables industrial and artisan producers to optimize raw material costs (e.g., micro-casting, waste recovery) and ensure environmental respect (sustainability).
- IEG’s View (Matteo Farsura): Technology, including additive manufacturing and digitalization, is transforming the sector by increasing company margins and making production more sustainable. IEG is developing a “comprehensive technology agenda” to boost competitiveness globally.
- Exhibitors: 170 companies from 16 countries, with 40% being foreign exhibitors (led by Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, India, and the US).
- Product Sectors: Six main areas (alloy treatment, prototyping, advanced mechanics, laser welding, precious metal recovery, tools) plus cutting-edge fields like 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and advanced automation.
- Made in Italy Leadership (Massimo Poliero, AFEMO): Italian jewellery mechanics is a global leader, generating an estimated €1 billion in turnover, with member companies of AFEMO (Jewellery Manufacturing Machinery Exporters) accounting for about 70% of total exports. Key export markets are Eastern regions (Turkey, India, South-East Asia).
ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP’S TECHNOLOGY AGENDA
From September 2026, when the Expo Centre’s new central hall will be fully operational, IEG will also complete its technology agenda. Vicenza will become an international hub for gold and precious metal technology thanks to a second annual edition of T.Gold, which will extend the range of technical content on offer, further enrich the workshop and seminar programme, and provide greater continuity to collaborations with leading technology players. This special agenda, which alternates between T.Gold, Oroarezzo and JGT in Dubai, will be joined every other year by the vertical events Jewellery Technology Forum, which will be back in September 2026, and The Vicenza Symposium, which, after its debut last September with an extremely high international turnout, will return in September 2027.
