When it comes to shining matters, Thailand has been a world-renowned source of skilled gems and jewelry craftspeople. This might be the reason why the country has been regarded as the center of jewelry trade in Asia for decades.

To highlight the importance of Thailand’s position as the trading hub of gems and jewelry, Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair, one of Asia’s largest jewelry trade fairs, is held on a biannual basis by Thailand’s Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce. The 62nd edition will be held between September 7-11, 2018.

“Thailand has been known as an international destination of jewelry trading, and the jewelry creations of Thai craftspeople are globally acknowledged. But to put it further, The Department of International Trade Promotion initiated Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair, so that Thai craftsmanship could even shine brighter in an international arena,” says Mrs. Chantira Jimreivat Vivatrat, General Director of the Department of International Trade Promotion, Ministry of Commerce. Apart from being a trading place of jewelry, gems, and precious materials like gold and silver, Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair also showcases latest updates in the jewelry industry, from innovative designs and advanced technologies to trend forecasts.
