GemGenève will stage its 10th edition from May 7–10, 2026 at Palexpo, Geneva, with a continued focus on emerging designers through its Designers’ Village platform.

The curated section will present eight contemporary jewellery designers, positioned alongside established exhibitors, reflecting the show’s structure of integrating new entrants within the broader trade ecosystem.

“GemGenève offers emerging artists genuine exposure right up there alongside bigger players, and their fresh insights contribute to the ecosystem as a whole,” said Nadège Totah, co-organizer of GemGenève.

Participants include first-time exhibitors such as Be Liza (UK), Mike Joseph (Thailand), Hemera Paris (France), Incarnem (France), and Plah (Italy). Returning designers include A.win Siu (China), Richard Wu Jewelry (China), and Jaqueline Powers (USA), who will present new collections at the event.

The Designers’ Village will also feature five emerging brands identified as early-stage entrants in the global jewellery market. These brands operate with limited production volumes and focus on handcrafted, design-led collections.

“We’re delighted to be presenting new pieces – bold creations that are also designed to be comfortable to wear,” said Vince Gerardis of Jaqueline Powers.

GemGenève will also strengthen its hybrid format through its partnership with Digital Jewelry Week, which connects independent designers and brands across 29 countries and has recorded over 12,000 visits to date.

“Being present at GemGenève 10 is a real milestone for Digital Jewelry Week, demonstrating that online presentations and physical excellence are not opposites but complementary forces,” said Dario Rjeili of Digital Exhibition Group S.R.L.

Additional participation will include organizations such as the Armenian Jewellers Association and Jewellery and Gemstone Association of Africa, along with design institutions, reinforcing the show’s international industry engagement.
