Twin Shows Explained: Jewellery Show vs Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show

If you source both raw materials and finished pieces, budget time for both HKTDC shows in March 2027:

• Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show (AsiaWorld-Expo, 2 to 6 March 2027, Tuesday to Saturday): Loose diamonds, colored gemstones, pearls, jade, and raw materials for manufacturers and designers.
• Hong Kong International Jewellery Show (HKCEC, 4 to 8 March 2027, Thursday to Monday): Finished fine jewelry, branded collections, designer pieces, silver, stainless steel, antique and vintage items, watches, packaging, and tools.

A practical schedule is to start at AsiaWorld-Expo between 2 and 4 March to price and select stones, then head to the HKCEC from 4 to 8 March for finished stock. The overlapping days from 4 to 6 March make it easy to cross-check stone costs against finished-piece pricing. You can use HKTDC’s Click2Match platform and Marketplace app to set up meetings across both venues beforehand.

How to Register

Pre-register online at hktdc.com, then verify your e-Badge in the HKTDC Marketplace App before you arrive. Twin Shows attendees will need to complete one additional verification step in the app.

Pick up your badge at the Hall 1 Concourse by presenting your passport and business card. You must wear your badge at all times inside the venue.

On-site registration is available, but queues are typically long on the opening morning. Strollers, retail sales, and unauthorized photography in designated zones are strictly prohibited. Check the official Visitor Rules and Regulations before attending.

 

Sourcing Tips for Jewellery Buyers

Pack a loupe, a color reference, and business cards that include your WhatsApp or QR code. Exhibitors typically quote in USD or HKD and use tiered order minimums. Verify the gold weight, stone specifications, turnaround time, and after-sales terms like resizing and certification before leaving the booth.

Plan your walk across the week:

• Spend the first day walking the Hall of Extraordinary, Hall of Fame, and World of Glamour to get your bearings.
• Use the second and third days for supplier meetings and reviewing factory capabilities.
• Reserve the final day for sample orders and locking in prices before popular pieces sell out.

High-value zones have controlled entry and hands-off policies, so ask before taking photos and keep bags zipped. To avoid walking up to busy booths without an appointment, book OEM and ODM meetings ahead of time through Click2Match (open 23 February to 13 March 2027).
