The gems and jewellery industry in India is flourishing at a fast pace. The sector’s steady growth has been fuelled by the strong trade network, innovation & craftsmanship. One of the ways that retailers, manufacturers and designers stay on top of the industry is by attending jewellery exhibitions in India. These events provide not only an opportunity to scout for the latest collections, but also to get a competitive advantage and develop business partnerships. Besides, the exhibitions serve as strategic gathering places where culture and technology merge and the market’s upcoming trends are outlined.
Major Jewellery Exhibitions to Watch in 2026
Among the most anticipated upcoming jewellery exhibitions in India, the Hyderabad Jewellery, Pearl & Gem Fair (HJF) 2026 is the one that draws the most attention. The 18th edition of this fair, being held from 8 to 10 May 2026 at HITEX, Hyderabad, will feature the B2B jewellery exhibition. When it comes to the size of the event, the number of exhibitors, and trade visitors, HJF offers a diverse range of buyers from Tier I and Tier II cities. HJF is, therefore, a critical sourcing event, happening just before the wedding and festive seasons.
The other jewellery exhibitions in India are held mostly in the metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. They also facilitate the connection of regional and national markets, allowing the participants to get acquainted with varied styles, price points and technologies.
Highlights That Make These Shows Unmissable
One of the main distinctions of the most significant exhibitions is the variety and quality of the experiences they offer. The HJF, for instance, is not only a platform for showcasing the latest products but is also a well-designed event with various gold, diamond, silver, pearl, gemstone, and even jewellery technology pavilions. Besides such activities, knowledge-based initiatives in the form of conferences, panel discussions, award ceremonies, and business matchmaking programs greatly assist participants in getting the right information about consumer behaviour, design trends, and the newly emerging segments such as lab-grown diamonds.
Must-See Brands and Industry Participation
Leading Indian jewellery show platforms attract a combination of established brands, master craftsmen, and new-age designers. The collections, from heritage-inspired to ultra-modern, tech-enabled, come not only from the continuity of the respective stores but also the comprehensive presentation of each element.
