The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), in collaboration with The Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (Public Organization) (GIT), has announced the successful conclusion of the 74th Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair, held from 8–12 September 2026 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). The five-day event welcomed more than 50,000 buyers and visitors from 123 countries and generated over THB 5.8 billion or 174 million USD in trade value, reflecting strong international confidence in the potential of Thailand’s gems and jewelry industry and reaffirming Bangkok Gems as a key international trading platform for the global industry.
Ms. Sunanta Kangvalkulkij, Director-General of DITP, the fair’s main organizer, said: “𝑇ℎ𝑒 74𝑡ℎ 𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑘𝑜𝑘 𝐺𝑒𝑚𝑠 & 𝐽𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑟𝑦 𝐹𝑎𝑖𝑟 𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.

The five most sought-after product categories were gemstones, machinery and equipment, fine jewelry, silver jewelry and diamonds, respectively. Gemstones remained the standout category, accounting for 35% of total trade value generated at the fair. This strong performance highlights Thailand’s competitive strength as a global colored gemstone trading hub and Bangkok Gems’ role in connecting producers and traders with buyers from around the world.
