Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok (JGAB) 2026 Returns as the Ultimate ASEAN Jewellery & Gemstone Sourcing Hub
Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok (JGAB), the premier B2B jewellery and gemstone sourcing event in Southeast Asia, is set to return from 22–25 April 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) with a renewed mission to redefine the ASEAN jewelry sourcing experience.
Organized by Informa Markets, JGAB has established itself as the region’s most influential business platform, connecting international buyers with ASEAN’s finest jewelry and gemstone suppliers. Following the strong success of the 2025 edition, which welcomed over 10,000 trade visitors from 84 countries, the 2026 fair will continue to strengthen Bangkok’s position as the gateway to ASEAN’s vibrant jewelry trade.
The 2026 edition is expected to welcome more than 350 exhibitors from 15 countries, presenting an extensive range of products across six key categories: Fine Jewelry, Silver, Gemstones, Diamonds, Lab-Grown Diamonds, and Tools & Equipment. Spanning over 17,000 sqm, JGAB 2026 will offer buyers and sellers unparalleled opportunities to explore exquisite collections, discover the latest market trends, and forge meaningful business partnerships.
New highlights for 2026 include curated trend showcases, expert-led seminars, and the prestigious Goldsmith Craftsmanship Competition 2026, held under the theme “The Secret of Thai Legacy.” This special feature celebrates Thailand’s exceptional artisans, blending traditional techniques with modern creativity to showcase the country’s rich craftsmanship on the global stage.
“We are proud to position JGAB as the definitive meeting destination for the jewelry and gemstone industry across ASEAN — creating a dynamic platform where professionals connect, share expertise, and forge business relationships that strengthen our regional community,” said Mr. Sanchai Noombunnam, Country General Manager of Informa Markets – Thailand.
“We believe JGAB will establish itself as the strongest sourcing hub for ASEAN jewelry, bringing together the region’s finest suppliers and manufacturers to connect with the world. JGAB serves as our showcase to the global market, highlighting the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that define Thailand and ASEAN as key sourcing destinations in the international jewelry trade.
Thailand’s jewelry and gemstone industry continues to demonstrate impressive growth momentum.
According to data from The Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (Public Organization) released in October 2025, Thailand’s gem and jewelry exports between January and August 2025 totalled US$17,736.07 million, an increase of 70.07% compared to the same period in 2024, ranking as the country’s third-largest export category, accounting for 7.95% of total exports. When excluding unwrought gold exports, genuine gem and jewelry exports reached US$9,002.68 million, a 55.89% increase, while August 2025 exports alone amounted to US$1,927.62 million, reflecting the sector’s continued global competitiveness.
With this positive momentum, JGAB 2026 is poised to serve as a key international platform that highlights the strength and potential of Thailand and ASEAN’s jewelry and gemstone industry.
More than just a trade fair, JGAB 2026 represents the beating heart of ASEAN’s jewelry community — where craftsmanship meets innovation and where connections spark limitless possibilities.
The fair will take place from 22–25 April 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) in Bangkok, Thailand.
