The World's Number One Fine Jewellery Event 
THE SEPTEMBER HONG KONG JEWELLERY & GEM FAIR 

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

The September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair celebrates 30 years of service to the world's jewellery industry in 2012. Since its launch in 1983, this highly influential fair steadily attracted thousands of exhibitors and buyers from around the world. Coupled with offering quality products to discerning buyers, the fair's professional organisation and strategic Hong Kong venue helped establish it as the world's leading jewellery event.

WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT?

   

bulletKEY GLOBAL POSITION
In 2011, the September Fair showed yet again why it is the world’s No. 1 jewellery event, with overall visitor attendance up 16.3 percent. More than 3,450 exhibitors from 46 countries and regions greeted a total of 51,500 trade professionals from 155 countries and regions – the biggest exhibitor and visitor figures in the Fair’s history. Over 50 percent of buyers at the September Fair are from overseas, a testament to the strong reputation the Fair enjoys globally. 

bulletTIMELY EVENT                                                                           
The Fair’s September schedule makes it ideal for jewellers replenishing stocks for peak shopping seasons such as Christmas, New Year and Valentine ’s Day.

bulletSUPERIOR LOCATION                                                             
With the host city of Hong Kong being a duty-free port, no duties are imposed on precious jewellery and materials for import and export, thus benefitting both buyers and exhibitors at the Fair.

bulletCLEAR PRODUCT SECTORISATION FACILITATES BUSINESS    
Under this product sectorisation initiative, diamonds, gemstones, pearls, equipment & packaging products are exhibited at AWE, while finished jewellery items are exhibited at HKCEC. With products under the same category displayed in a common area, buyers find it easier to source products and suppliers, while exhibitors find it easier to meet their target buyers.
