Jewellery, Gem & Technology Dubai 2026

Jewellery, Gem & Technology Dubai 2026 in Dubai, known as JGTD, is a B2B jewellery trade fair at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai, from 27 to 29 October 2026. It runs in the North Halls from 10am to 6pm each day and is organised by Informa Markets with Italian Exhibition Group, with DMCC as a supporting partner.

About Jewellery, Gem & Technology Dubai 2026

Dubai has long been one of the world’s great gold and jewellery trading hubs, and JGTD puts the trade side of that industry under one roof. Around 400 exhibitors from more than 25 countries take part.

The fair brings together jewellery manufacturers, gemstone and diamond suppliers, technology and machinery providers, and trade buyers from the Middle East, India, Africa and beyond. It also runs during DMCC’s Dubai Diamond Week, so the city is busy with industry events that week.

JGTD is for trade and professional visitors only. It is not a retail jewellery show, so plan your visit around meetings and sourcing rather than shopping.

What to Expect

Finished Jewellery

Manufacturers show their latest collections for retailers and wholesalers looking to refresh their ranges.

Gemstones and Diamonds

Gem and diamond suppliers make up a big part of the fair, which suits buyers looking for loose stones and new sources.

Technology and Machinery

The technology side covers machinery and tools used in jewellery production, a useful area for manufacturers planning upgrades.

Trade Networking

With buyers arriving from several regions, the fair is as much about relationships as products. Expect plenty of conversations at the stands.

Why Visit as a Trade Buyer

Trade fairs like JGTD let you compare many suppliers in a few days, which would take weeks of travel otherwise. You can see pieces and stones in person, check quality face to face and build relationships that are hard to start over email. For retailers planning collections for the coming season, the timing is also handy, with time to place orders before the busy year-end period.

The Venue: Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai

Dubai Exhibition Centre is part of Expo City Dubai, the former Expo 2020 site in the south of the city. JGTD takes place in the North Halls, so follow the signs for that side of the venue.

Expo City Dubai has its own station on the Metro Red Line, which makes it reachable without a car.

Visitor Tips

Getting There and Parking

The Metro to the Expo 2020 station is a simple option. If you drive, allow extra time, as Expo City Dubai is a large site and the walk from parking can take a while.

Register for Your Badge

Register for a visitor badge online before you go. If an exhibitor has sent you a voucher, you can redeem it on the registration page.

Trade Visitors Only

Bring proof of your trade or professional status if asked, along with business cards for meetings.

Dress Code

No dress code is published, but business attire is the norm at trade fairs, and it helps when meeting suppliers for the first time.

Plan Your Meetings

With hundreds of stands, it helps to book key meetings in advance and leave the rest of your time for discovery.

For anyone in the jewellery, gem or diamond trade, JGTD 2026 is a busy, focused three days in Dubai. Register for your visitor badge and line up your meetings before the doors open on 27 October.
