The Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair (SJGF), the most significant in the region, will be returning this November for its fourth edition. The fine jewellery fair will be held at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from November 4 – 7.
Exclusively endorsed by the Singapore Jewellers Association and the Diamond Exchange of Singapore, the fair has certainly come a long way since its debut, with a significant growth over the years in both buyers and visitors. Last year, a record 10,018 buyers attended the SJGF, marking over US$11.7 million in onsite sales. The growth also highlights the emergence of Southeast Asia as a promising market, with jewellery worth over US$50 billion in the region.

According to Paul Wan, Managing Director, UBM Exhibition Singapore Pte Ltd, there indeed is an increase in the number of local and regional trade buyers attending the fair, including Poh Kong Jewellery from Malaysia, Pesona Fine Jewellery from Indonesia, and local retailers Aspial-Lee Hwa Jewellery, Sookee Jewellery and Poh Heng Jewellery.
“We believe it is important for retailers to source a wider variety of designs to cater to the different needs and demands of their customers,” says Wan. “At the same time, retailers can also take the opportunity to learn about and adapt new technologies which help them to expand their offerings with cost reduction.”
The highly anticipated fair will include a substantial selection of fine jewellery across many international exhibitors showcasing their wares, available at wholesale prices. From exquisite yet wearable pieces for day-to-day ease, to lavish heirloom-worthy collections, the internationally acclaimed jewelers will include those from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, USA, Singapore and more.
