Trade buyers from across the globe will uncover a wealth of high-quality business-to-business (B2B) sourcing opportunities, inspiring events and the latest in industry-related technologies at one of the world’s premier jewellery marketplaces – Jewellery, Gem & Technology in Dubai (JGTD). Jointly organised by Informa Markets Jewellery and Italian Exhibition Group SpA (IEG), JGTD is back for its third edition from 12 to 14 November in Halls 1 & 2 South of the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC) in Expo City. The fair is bolstered by substantial support, as evidenced by the anticipated participation of top gemstone, jewellery and technology companies; the presence of key wholesale and retail buyers from Dubai and overseas, and collaborations with Official Partner DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) and Industry Partner Dubai Jewellery Group (DJG), according to Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery. “With approximately 400 exhibitors from 25 countries and regions, all conveniently accessible at one of Dubai’s premier state-of-the-art venues, JGTD is the perfect place to preview what’s coming, restock for the upcoming holiday season, and plan and buy inventory for the year ahead,” Lau continued. The fair is strategically timed to meet the sourcing requirements of B2B buyers. “November’s JGT in Dubai is the place to be, scheduled on the international calendar to meet the needs of the regional market and replenish diamond, gem and gold jewellery stock with a premium sourcing event. Opportunities within the industry will multiply, thanks also to other events taking place in ‘The City of Gold’ during the same week. Partnering with major local institutions strengthens the B2B presence of the show in this commercial hub, serving an array of strong economies and emerging markets seeking select providers to build and foster their own jewellery and gem businesses,” commented Marco Carniello, Chief Business Officer at IEG. “At JGTD, attendees will meet leading industry players and benefit from numerous business, training and networking opportunities. This includes gaining a comprehensive view of jewellery design and luxury consumer trends.” GTD will present a diverse array of products including fine jewellery, loose diamonds, coloured gemstones, lab-grown diamonds, jewellery mountings, equipment and tools, and manufacturing technologies, among others. Further enhancing buyers’ procurement opportunities are 10+ neighbourhoods, inclusive of five new country pavilions featuring suppliers from China, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore and the US. Top show floor destinations such as the Hong Kong, India and Italy sections will also be returning to the JGTD spotlight. Moreover, JGTD will run concurrently with Dubai Diamond Week, scheduled for 11 to 15 November. Presented by DMCC, this event will feature the seventh edition of the Dubai Diamond Conference on 11 November and the Kimberley Process Plenary Session from 12 to 15 November.

The UAE-ITALY Golden Bridge Awards are conducted under the auspices of the Italian Embassy in Abu Dhabi. “The trade ties between Italian jewellery manufacturers and jewellers in Dubai have indeed spanned decades, creating a unique success story. This relationship has grown stronger over the years, significantly contributing to Dubai’s reputation as the ‘City of Gold.’ The unmatched craftsmanship of Italian manufacturers has played a pivotal role in this success, and the collaboration has provided valuable learning experiences for both parties,” shared DJG Chairman Tawhid Abdulla. “The upcoming UAE-ITALY Golden Bridge Awards are set to celebrate this special friendship. We believe that this will also serve as an educational platform for future generations, emphasising the importance of meaningful trade partnerships in the jewellery business.” DJG has actively promoted JGTD to its vast network of local jewellers, leveraging 400+ screens in its members’ retail jewellery stores and encouraging community engagement. The meaningful presence of top Gold Souk retailers at the fair will play a key role in setting the stage for an even more successful JGTD.
