This October, Istanbul will once again host the international jewelry industry with the much-anticipated second edition of the IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show for the year 2024.
Scheduled from 2 to 5 October at the Istanbul Expo Center, this prestigious event promises to bring together the finest in jewelry design, craftsmanship, and innovation from around the world.
Istanbul, a city where continents and ancient cultures converge, has established itself as a significant business hub in the global jewelry supply chain.
The IJS, organized by Informa Markets, has been a cornerstone event in the jewelry calendar since 1986, and this October marks its 56th edition. The previous edition in April witnessed an impressive turnout, with over 30,000 business professionals from 139 countries and participation from more than 1,500 brands across 16 countries, including Türkiye. Building on this success, the upcoming show is set to host over 1,000 brands, showcasing an array of exquisite products ranging from gold jewelry and diamonds to gemstones and silver.
Şermin Cengiz, the Co-Founder of IJS, expressed immense satisfaction with the April show, highlighting the positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors alike. The event not only maintained its stature but also saw an 8% increase in international professional visitors, underscoring its global appeal. With the October edition, Cengiz aims to replicate and exceed this success, providing an unparalleled platform for industry players to connect, collaborate, and explore new business opportunities.
One of the key highlights of the IJS OCT 2024 is the presentation of the trend report by WGSN, the world’s leading trend-forecasting company. This exclusive report is expected to inspire the creative direction of the 2025 jewelry collections, influencing designers and manufacturers worldwide.
Additionally, the show will feature the Designer Club’s private section and the “Art for Jewellery: Inspiration Hub” event, dedicated to celebrating the arts and artists in the jewelry industry. This event, held in collaboration with the Jewellery Exporters Association, will showcase the latest collections from renowned jewelry masters, adding a unique dimension to the glamorous realm of jewelry.
