LONDON – Attendance was high at the Jewellery Show from the start, auguring for strong orders by retailers for the festive season.
Visitors packed into the Jewellery Show at Olympia, London, from the opening of the fourth edition, now the UK’s largest trade event, with many independent retailers present from across the UK and Ireland, and beyond.
Exhibitors reported brisk enquiries right across the show, which offered a vast array of products, including gold, silver, platinum and diamond jewellery, loose gemstones, machinery, new technologies, and accessories.
The Jewellery Show featured an India pavilion for a second year, reflecting a vigorous push by Indian jewellery exporters into the UK market following a recent trade deal between the UK and India.
David Brough, Editor of Jewellery Outlook, hosted four well-attended panels, about opportunities and challenges in sales of gold jewellery; jewellery design trends into 2026; the impact of precious metals price volatility on jewellery manufacturing; and the future of diamond jewellery retail in the UK.
