Thailand Prepares to Host the 74th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair, Showcasing a New Era of Design and Value Creation
The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), the main organizer, in collaboration with the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (Public Organization), or GIT, the co-organizer, together with the public- and private-sector organizing committee, held a press conference to announce the 74th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair, which took place from 8–12 September 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), Bangkok. The fair successfully concluded after welcoming buyers and industry professionals from across the world. The fair aimed to reinforce Thailand’s position as a global hub for gems and jewelry trade and design-led value creation, with a target trade value of at least USD 160 million.
Bangkok Gems Recognized Among the World’s Major Trade Fairs
Mr. Surinthorn Sunthornsanan, Deputy Director-General of DITP and Chairman of the press conference, said, “For more than 40 years, the Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair has been a key driving force for Thailand’s gems and jewelry industry, one of the country’s top 10 export industries. Today, Bangkok Gems is recognized as one of the world’s top four major gems and jewelry trade fairs and the world’s largest colored gemstone trading hub. Despite global economic volatility and reciprocal tariff measures imposed by major trading partners, Thailand’s gems and jewelry exports continue to demonstrate strong growth. During the first six months of 2026 (January–June), Thailand’s gems and jewelry exports reached USD 8,253.19 million, an increase of 11.58%, clearly reflecting continued global confidence in Thai products.”
Moving Thai Entrepreneurs from OEM to ODM
“For the next stage of development, DITP is placing greater emphasis on upgrading Thai entrepreneurs from Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) to Original Design Manufacturing (ODM), enabling them to develop their own products and designs while building Thai brands with stronger recognition in global markets. The 74th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair will bring this direction to life through The Designer Zone, highlighting the creativity of Thai designers and the expertise of Thai manufacturers. Design and branding are among the most powerful drivers of value creation, demonstrating that Thailand is not only a skilled manufacturing base with exceptional craftsmanship, but also a source of internationally competitive creativity.”
Global Exhibition Scale and International Participation
The 74th Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair occupied the full exhibition area of QSNCC, covering more than 53,000 square meters, with more than 1,300 exhibitors from over 20 countries. The successful show saw buyers from across the world, providing an important international platform for gems and jewelry businesses, designers, and industry professionals. The fair was expected to generate trade value of no less than USD 160 million, Mr. Surinthorn added.
Showcasing Thailand’s Colored Gemstone Expertise
Mr. Sumed Prasongpongchai, Director General of GIT, DITP’s co-organizing partner, said, “Thailand is internationally recognized as a global colored gemstone trading hub, supported by its long-established expertise in gemstone cutting and enhancement. This success will be showcased through the special exhibition ‘The Craft of Brilliance,’ which traces the development of Thailand’s gems and jewelry industry — from its foundations in traditional knowledge and craftsmanship to the value creation made possible through expertise, technology, and innovation. The exhibition will also feature academic works and showcase the evolution of research in gems and jewelry.”
