September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair All booths sold out at the World’s Number One Fine Jewellery Event

The September Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair has achieved yet another record-breaking feat: all booths in the Fair’s two world-class venues – the AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) and the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition (HKCEC) – are sold out.

The world’s number one jewellery event features more than 3,300 exhibitors from 45 countries and regions in 130,000 square metres of exhibition space. The exhibitor number is another record in itself with around 100 exhibitors more than last year, making this edition the biggest in the Fair’s history. Fair organiser UBM Asia Ltd expects the Fair to attract around 45,000 buyers from 135 countries and regions.
