GemGenève, the prestigious event for professionals and enthusiasts in the precious stone and jewellery industry, is all set to open its doors for the 7th edition. Scheduled from 2nd to 5th November, 2023, the event will be hosted at Palexpo Hall 6, a venue boasting 14,000 sq m of exhibition space, the same venue as the November 2022 edition.
The 7th edition is anticipated to be an exclusive and dynamic affair, with organisers forecasting a highly engaging event. Compared to the previous years, this edition will feature more exhibitors, with 145 dealers and 156 exhibitors already confirmed, though figures may change with updates expected in September. GemGenève continues to strategically coincide with major autumn auctions and events during Geneva Luxury Week, enhancing its appeal to industry professionals and enthusiasts alike.
One of the highlights of the event is the annual Designer Vivarium, now established as a regular feature of the spring editions. The upcoming edition will also see collaborations with schools, including the Donna Jewel project with students from the Galdus School and Crea Eyes with Donatella Zappieri, becoming fixtures for future autumn editions.
Thomas Faerber, Co-founder of GemGenève, noted the event’s unique blend of fostering solidarity among traders, promoting jewellery creativity, and uniting passionate individuals within the industry.
A significant change this year is the altered layout, crafted by Parisian design firm Autre Idée. The revamped setting will sport a mineral yet intimate atmosphere with a touch of Japanese style. The GemGenève event prides itself not only as a trade show but also as a platform for cultural enrichment, knowledge sharing, and nurturing emerging talents.
The official proceedings will commence on 1st November with a press conference, followed by a guided tour and personalised interviews. The preview of the exhibition, attended by local authorities, guests, and the media, will also take place on the same day.
