If you’re a fan of fine jewellery, you’re surely in for a treat next week as the world’s largest jewellery show returns to our city courtesy of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). Comprising two concurrent events, over 4,600 exhibitors from 48 countries will be displaying their precious goods, allowing local haute joaillerie aficionados an intimate glimpse at some of the most stunning precious gemstones and jewellery in the world.

Kicking off proceedings is the sixth iteration of the HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem and Pearl Show, which runs from 26 February to 2 March at AsiaWorld-Expo. A fantastic opportunity for industry insiders and jewellery lovers alike to snap up the finest raw gemstones and pearls, visitors will also be invited to explore specialised themed zones including the Hall of Fine Diamonds, the Treasures of Nature and the Treasures of Ocean.

A scant two days later sees the launch of the 36th HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show at the Hong Kong  Convention & Exhibition Centre, which offers a seemingly endless array of exquisite finished high jewellery pieces on show. Particularly visit-worthy showcases include the Hall of Fame – where 38 luxury brands will spotlight their latest collections – and the even grander Hall of Extraordinary, boasting the skilfully crafted designs from over 100 companies.

Furthermore, this year the HKTDC has announced that Japan will be honoured as the joint event’s first-ever partner country, giving the adoring public a glimpse at the island nation’s truly magnificent pearls.

In addition to the exotic jewellery designs on display, the two shows will also play host to a series of specialised talks and forums on pertinent industry topics such as latest market trends, breaking production technologies and the rise of mobile commerce.

Underlining the importance of the world’s largest jewellery show, Benjamin Chau, HKTDC’s Acting Director, said at a press conference on Tuesday: “More than 8,200 companies from 75 countries and regions will visit the shows this year. This will help the industry expand into emerging markets and deal with the unstable global economy.”

The press conference also allowed Hong Kong a preview of exactly what to expect, including a catwalk parade where models showed off some of the highlight designs that will be on display next week. Check out our exclusive coverage of the event in the video below.
