HKTDC Opens 12th Diamond and 42nd Jewellery Shows in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Trade Development Council opened the 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show at AsiaWorld-Expo, Lantau, on March 2, 2026, launching a five-day trade sourcing window that runs through March 6. Organiser materials describe the twin events as “The Twin Shows Reinforce Their Position as the World's Largest One‑stop Jewellery Marketplace,” with the 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show staged at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai from March 4 to March 8.

AsiaWorld-Expo serves as the diamond and gem hub for buyers and exhibitors; media representatives may register at the East Lobby entrance next to Hall 3 or at the Media Centre, Room 201B on 2/F, by presenting a business card or media identification. Published event tables list opening hours as 2 March 2025 10:30am–6:30pm, 3–5 March 2025 10am–6:30pm and 6 March 2025 10am–5:30pm for the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, and 4 March 2025 10:30am–6:30pm, 5–7 March 2025 10am–6:30pm and 8 March 2025 10am–5pm for the Jewellery Show at HKCEC; HKTDC’s official calendar, however, lists the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show dates as Mon, 02 Mar 2026 – Fri, 06 Mar 2026, so exhibitors and press are advised to confirm daily hours with the HKTDC Media Centre on site.

The twin fairs extend beyond the halls with a digital sourcing platform. Click2Match runs from February 23 to March 13, 2026, while hktdc.com Sourcing is scheduled from February 2 to April 1, 2026, supporting the organiser’s real-and-online format. JETRO’s trade-fair listing repeats the hybrid model and flags eligibility as trade only with admission by online application or registration.

Product categories and fair spotlights reflect the market’s bifurcation between natural and engineered gems. JETRO lists diamonds, gemstones, pearls, laboratory-grown diamonds and synthetic gemstones among items to be exhibited, and HKTDC spotlights laboratory-grown diamond and synthetic gemstone. MID House of Diamonds, exhibiting at the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show, promotes inventory from 0.30 ct to extreme sizes of 15.00+ ct, parcels and single stones, matched pairs and layouts, certified stock from GIA, EGL, AGS, HRD and IGI, extremely rare fancy colored specialty stones, and both premium cuts and value cuts. MID invites visitors with the line, “Join MID House of Diamonds at the HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show 2026 and enjoy exposure to the global jewelry industry, with its continuing high demand for white and fancy color diamonds, pearls and high-end diamond jewelry,” and lists a contact telephone of +852-2-545-7118 alongside an obfuscated exhibitor email on its HKTDC page.

Contextual data from HKTDC and JETRO shows scale: HKTDC fair statistics for 2025 display 1,696 exhibitors, representation from 30 countries and regions and 31,628 physical buyers, while JETRO’s last-fair summary notes 1,696 exhibitors including 640 foreign exhibitors and that the 2025 data are certified by UFI and FKM. MID’s exhibitor copy separately claims the two fairs once attracted “over 80,000 buyers from 147 countries and regions.”

Press photographers and editors were directed to available photo downloads accompanying organiser materials; HKTDC contact details published for the event include Unit 13, Expo Galleria, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Wan Chai, tel +852-1830-668 and exhibitions@hktdc.org, with a Japan representative office at +81-3-5210-5850. Given the presence of opening-hour tables bearing the year 2025 in distributed releases, final confirmation of daily schedules and press assets should be secured through the HKTDC Media Centre before publication. The twin shows combine AsiaWorld-Expo sourcing with the HKCEC retail showcase and a Click2Match window extending into mid-March, setting the rhythm for regional spring sourcing in diamonds, lab-grown stones, pearls and high-end jewellery.
