Taking place at the Singapore EXPO from 27 to 30 September, JGW Singapore is bringing together close to 1,000 exhibitors from nearly 30 countries and regions, including some of the biggest names in the diamond industry.
The iconic show, formerly known as the September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, is temporarily moving from Hong Kong to Singapore this year to make the event as accessible as possible to international exhibitors and visitors. Unlike Hong Kong, where mandatory quarantine for incoming travellers remains in effect, Singapore allows fully vaccinated visitors to enter the country without pre-departure tests, on-arrival tests and quarantine.
The one-off venue change has received overwhelming support from exhibitors. Due to increased demand for exhibition space, the fair has added 5,000 square metres to the reserved gross floor area, taking the show to 35,000 square metres. Prior to the Singapore show, Informa Markets Jewellery is organising a special-edition fair in Hong Kong from 16 to 19 September tailored for local trade buyers and jewellery lovers. The full-scale version of JGW will return to Hong Kong in 2023.

After an initial rally in April on geopolitical risks and building inflationary pressure, the gold price dropped in the second quarter of 2022 as investors shifted their focus to rapidly rising interest rates and a strikingly strong US dollar.
