With an average of 300 tons of gold processed into jewelry and fine jewelry each year, Türkiye is recognized as one of the world’s leading jewelry manufacturing countries alongside India and China. In addition to its strong production capacity, Türkiye also stands out with its trade volume and hosts the international jewelry industry twice a year through the IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show. The fair, which will open its doors for the 59th time between 1–4 April 2026 with the sponsorship of Elmas Kule, will present the most eye-catching designs and collections of the new season, while the special IJS Tech section will bring together industry professionals with the behind-the-scenes technologies of jewelry production.

Hosting more than 1,300 companies and brands from 15 different countries at the Istanbul Expo Center, IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show will showcase, in the IJS Tech area known as the “Machinery Hall,” a comprehensive range of technologies and solutions for jewelry manufacturing. These include casting machines, laser technologies, 3D printing and modeling systems, automated stone-setting and assembly machines, CNC machining centers, plating and polishing machines, as well as jewelry quality control and testing devices, software solutions, e-commerce technologies, packaging, and display equipment.

The countdown has begun for the first IJS gathering of 2026, organized by Informa Markets with the sponsorship of Elmas Kule. Professionals visiting the fair, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in the industry, will be able to access the latest technologies and equipment covering all stages of jewelry production and experience the “back-of-house” of jewelry manufacturing on site.
