Istanbul Jewelry Show

Recognized as one of the top five jewelry exhibitions in the world, Istanbul Jewelry Show was held by Informa Markets, and sponsored by Elmas Kule, for the 54th time on 5-8 October 2023 at Istanbul Expo Center. The exhibition, showcasing products and services by over 1,000 companies and brands to more than 26,000 visitors from 136 different countries, not only provided networking opportunities through the meetings, but also offered an unprecedented exchange of information through the simultaneously organized events.

Held twice a year, this exhibition hosted the largest October exhibition organized until today. The exhibition broke a record in both the extent of exhibition area and exhibitors and the number of visitors. 38% increase was observed in the number of visitors arriving from the Southern American countries, 31% from the North American countries including the United States of America and 10% from the Asian countries, when compared to October 2022.

Istanbul Jewelry Show, which gathered the world’s jewelry industry on a single platform for 4 days, got high credit not only for its products and services, but also for the events that enabled flow of information into the industry. As a point where art and jewelry met at the exhibition, “Art for Jewellery – Inspiration Hub”, brought together classic cars, which are iconic designs of an era, with artificial intelligence under the name of “Timeless Elegance – Sources of Inspiration from Classic to Artificial Intelligence”.

The show hosted seminars with the participation of significant names. Accordingly, a session titled “Secrets to Success in Social Media and Digitalization in the Jewelry Industry” was held with the participation of global jewelry influencers. While the effects of social media on the jewelry industry were discussed in depth, some key information was shared with those intending to expand their business on digital platform.

Moreover, with the Designer Club, a joint project by Turkish Jewellery Exporters’ Association and Istanbul Jewelry Show, jewelry designers and masters exhibited their designs and jewelries on a special stand. With the awareness that sustainability becomes increasingly more important for the industry as a whole, including both exhibitors and visitors, Istanbul Jewelry Show assumes a number of responsibilities with a view to improve social, environmental and economic effects. In order to reduce carbon emissions as part of the exhibition, several green actions were taken such as reducing printed materials, recycling name tags and exhibition carpets, ensuring electricity saving by using LED technology, conducting visitor surveys via tablet computers to reduce paper usage, and transportation of exhibitors and visitors to the exhibition area by means of public transportation to minimize CO2 emissions.
