Pearl powerhouses celebrate ‘Queen of Gems’ at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong


Iconic luxury pearl jewellery brand Mikimoto and pearl superstars Paspaley, Autore, Jewelmer and top industry organisations are joining forces at Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW) to mark the fair’s “Year of the Pearl” events, show organiser Informa Markets Jewellery announced today.


Renowned as the “mother of all jewellery fairs,” the “One Fair, Two Venues” B2B marketplace will unfold from 16 to 20 September at the AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE), exhibiting virtually every imaginable precious material under the sun. Concurrently, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) section of the show will run from 18 to 22 September, providing buyers access to a diverse selection of finished jewellery, packaging and technology solutions. Additionally, SEASONS | Autumn Fashion Jewellery & Accessories Fair will run in parallel with JGW from 18 to 22 September. Situated in Hall 5BC of the HKCEC, this event is known as Asia’s go-to wholesale sourcing hub for fashion-driven collections curated for the Spring/Summer seasons of 2025 and beyond.


JGW’s 2024 edition will be made even more memorable with the immersive exhibit, “Orient Odyssey: From Shell To Market – The Fascinating Life Of Pearls,” by Informa’s Jewellery & Gem Knowledge Community.

Both sessions have distinguished panels. The AWE discussion will bring together Hiroki Goto of K. Mikimoto & Co., Ltd.; Jacques Christophe Branellec, CEO of Jewelmer; Jens Knauer PhD, Aquaculture and Marine Conservation Consultant at AUTORE, and Dr. Rebecca Koss, Sustainability Manager at Paspaley. The HKCEC session will likewise feature Rosario Autore, Founder and CEO of AUTORE, Zhan Weijian, Chairman & General Manager of Grace Pearl (HK) Co Ltd, alongside returning speakers Branellec and Koss.


Meanwhile, the Tahitian Pearl Association Hong Kong is set to host a private cocktail reception at AWE on 17 September. This by-invitation-only gathering will unite key figures from the pearl community for a memorable evening of networking and celebration.


Alongside Orient Odyssey and its accompanying pearl panel discussions, JGW will be recognising the recipients of the Sustainability Awards 2024 by JWA (Jewellery World Awards) at an exclusive cocktail reception on 18 September. Concurrently, the Sustainability Heroes Panel Series will feature discussions on the themes “Jewels Of A Sustainable Future” on 17 September at the AWE and “From Source To Showcase: Inspiring Change In The Jewellery Industry” on 18 September at the Grand Foyer of the HKCEC.
