The September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, organised by UBM Asia, is the global marketplace where one can source jewellery, gemstones and every related product imaginable, from around the globe. Launched in 1983, this premier jewellery event attracts over 57,600 buyers from all over the world. During this seven-day event, Hong Kong transforms into the world’s jewellery trading hub, where over 3,750 exhibitors from 50 countries and regions unveil fashion-forward creations and the finest diamonds and gemstones.
