Organised by Informa Markets, the 31st edition of the region’s most anticipated event will be spread across five exclusive halls, to enhance the experience of both vendors and visitors.
Brand new features this year will include a VIP room and a Gentlemen’s Club to network and relax alongside the usual displays of classical and contemporary designs, timepieces, precious gems, clocks, fine writing instruments, luxury accessories and more.
Moreover, a wristwatch zone and home electronics area has also been arranged.

Dubai Design Academy, which provides accredited professional jewellery making and design courses, is offering workshops throughout the event.
Finally, a comprehensive Talks programme exclusively for jewellery enthusiasts will run this year at Jewellery Arabia.
The sparkling showcase of gems, diamonds, watches and more also sees a 20 per cent surge in the participation of new brands, amongst which are Jawhara Jewellery and many more.
Renowned watch and jewellery houses will be making a return appearance at Jewellery Arabia 2023, including leading brands such as Asia Jewellers, Bahrain Jewellery Centre, and many others. These high-profile international exhibitors use the event as a platform to showcase exclusive collections and limited-edition pieces to the Middle East buyers’ market.
“As we look to the future, the global market size was valued at $340.69 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound of annual growth rate by 5.23 per cent (CAGR 2023-2026),” said Informa Markets exhibitions director Mohammed Ebrahim.
[A CAGR – compound annual growth rate – is a way to measure an investment’s average annual growth rate over a certain period, typically longer than one year. It can be used to compare the historical performances of investments or predict their future expected returns or gains. It can also be used to calculate the returns of assets, portfolios or other items that may increase or decrease in value.]
“It is more important than ever that jewellers are attuned to changing consumer preferences, and successful exhibitions such as Jewellery Arabia play a vital role in ensuring their commercial success.
“Jewellery Arabia aims to strengthen the national economy and industry in the region, with a long history of providing shoppers with access to luxury jewellery brands that are not available in the local retail market. This, combined with the careful selection of brands that meet the taste of all clients, has made Jewellery Arabia’s presence inevitable,” he added.
Since its inception in 1992, world famous jewellery houses, watch manufacturers and high-profile designers are consistent participants, many of whom choose Jewellery Arabia to introduce new collections and limited-edition pieces to the Middle East collector’s market.
