Hong Kong Hosts 12th Diamond, Gem & Pearl and 42nd Jewellery Shows

Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show opened at AsiaWorld‑Expo on 2 March 2026 and runs through 6 March, while the 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show begins 4 March at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai and continues through 8 March. The events run under the HKTDC tagline Facets of Brilliance and are promoted as a one-stop marketplace for diamonds, gems and finished jewellery.

Daily opening hours published in the NewMediaWire fair-details table show staggered start and close times - for example a 10:30am opening on the first day and 6:30pm closes on weekdays - but those tables carry March 2025 dates and appear to be a carry-over. HKTDC pages and NewMediaWire main copy consistently place the fairs in 2026; attendees and press should treat the NewMediaWire time table as likely a typographical error and confirm final hours with organisers.

Exhibitor presence is international and specific. MID House of Diamonds is promoting its presence at booth 5D-18 and lists US contact numbers +1-212-391-1121 and +1-877-391-1121 with a New York address at 580 5th Ave #3003, New York, NY 10036. The AsiaWorld‑Expo exhibitor listings include NM (HK) Limited at AWE 8-E20, Nomad's Lapidary Co., Inc at AWE 8-F06, Pamir Gems Co., Ltd. at AWE 8-F32, Pioneer Gems (H.K.) at AWE 8-E27 and a range of suppliers from Thailand, India, Vietnam, Belgium, Germany and China in adjacent AWE 8 halls. The International Colored Gemstone Association logo is visible in Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show materials.

Programming is broad by promotional design: NewMediaWire and HKTDC copy describe a schedule of trend forecasts, seminars, buyer forums and jewellery parades intended to give exhibitors "front-row access to the industry’s top buyers" and to showcase high quality raw materials. Those promotional claims are not accompanied in the supplied materials by attendance figures or exhibitor counts, so verify exhibitor credentials and any certification claims on the floor. With MID House of Diamonds highlighting white and fancy color diamonds in its posts and ICGA branding present, confirm chain-of-custody or grading documentation directly with booths and, where possible, request laboratory reports or provenance paperwork.

HKTDC digital services run alongside the physical fairs. Click2Match online for the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show is open from 23 February to 13 March 2026, while the hktdc.com Sourcing window for the show is listed from 2 February to 1 April 2026. HKTDC provides calendar-import instructions for Google, Outlook and iOS: Google users are instructed to login to Google calendar, click Add other calendars, click From URL, paste the event link and click Add Calendar; Outlook users are instructed to login to Outlook calendar, click Add calendar, click Subscribe from web, paste the link and click Import; iOS users are directed to click the link to add to their iOS calendar.

Media registration and press resources are specified. Press may register at AsiaWorld‑Expo’s East Lobby next to Hall 3 or at the Media Centre Room 201B on 2/F by presenting a business card or media identification; HKCEC media registration is at Hall 1D Concourse or the HKTDC Media Centre on the ground floor Expo Drive entrance with the same ID requirement. NewMediaWire references a photo download asset for press use but the supplied extracts do not include a direct link.

Promoted as twin fairs that "reinforce their position as the world's largest one-stop jewellery marketplace," the 2–8 March 2026 schedule will put provenance, pricing and partnerships to the test both on site and through Click2Match. In the coming days, buyers and exhibitors will determine whether the floors and online windows deliver the sourcing transparency and verified credentials the market increasingly demands.
