Jewellery, Gem & Technology in Dubai (JGTD) is set to return for its fifth edition from 27–29 October 2026 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City Dubai, bringing together international jewellery manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers and trade buyers for three days of sourcing, networking and business.

Organised by Informa Markets Jewellery and Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), JGTD 2026 is designed as a high-impact B2B sourcing platform connecting global suppliers with key jewellery markets across the Middle East, Asia, Europe and beyond. Strategically located within seven hours’ flying distance of more than 4 billion consumers, Dubai offers a unique gateway for businesses looking to expand their international reach.

The 2026 edition will take place across North Halls N21 and N23 of DEC and will showcase a comprehensive spectrum of the jewellery value chain, spanning finished and semi-finished jewellery, diamonds, coloured gemstones, pearls, lab-grown diamonds, jewellery mountings, tools, equipment, technology, laboratory solutions, display and packaging.

The show builds on strong momentum from its 2025 edition, which welcomed 5,667 trade buyers from 102 countries and regions, representing a 15% year-on-year increase. International attendance rose by an impressive 55%, with overseas buyers accounting for 59% of total attendance.

With its curated product offering, international participation and focus on meaningful business connections, JGTD 2026 will once again provide the jewellery community with a platform to discover new suppliers, explore emerging technologies, identify market opportunities and build lasting commercial relationships.

JGTD 2026 will take place from 27–29 October at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai.
