In 2022, the jewelry sector exported 5 billion 855 million dollars, with gold and silver exports increasing by 7% and stone jewelry exports growing by around 33%. Therefore, representatives from the jewelry sector are preparing to gather for the 53rd time at the “Istanbul Jewelry Show” to showcase their latest collections.

Additionally, the “Art for Jewelry – Inspiration Hub” will be held at the fair in cooperation with the Jewelry Exporters’ Association and Chamber of Jewelers of Istanbul. The world’s number one trend forecasting firm, WSGN, will announce the sectoral trends within the scope of the event, aiming to promote art and artist’s contribution to the jewelry sector through various projects.
The Turkish jewelry sector will be promoted to the world. As Şermin Cengiz, the Istanbul Jewelry Show Founding Partner stated, “Jewelry is a leading value-adding product. Jewelry accounts for 80% of the 6 billion dollars of exports in our fair. The gold reserves discovered in Türkiye provide a positive impact on national exports and demands. As we set out this journey 37 years ago with the exhibition of 38 firms, we are now offering a unique environment where the Turkish jewelry sector is promoted to the world. We will incessantly continue to create job opportunities for our sector and further increase our exportation goal.”
