The 41st Hong Kong International Jewellery Show runs from 4 to 8 March at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai.

The twin shows provide a one-stop jewellery sourcing platform for the global industry, featuring raw materials such as loose diamonds, coloured diamonds, gemstones and pearls and showcasing the finest finished jewellery pieces, high-end custom-made jewellery, designer brands, mounting components, product packaging and identification instruments and technology. The diverse array of product offerings is effective in attracting professional buyers from around the world.'

They also present a series of jewellery parades, seminars and forums tailored for both buyers and exhibitors to facilitate new opportunities in an intensely competitive market.'

International Jewellery Show spotlights latest trends in gold inlay jewellery
The twin jewellery shows have kept a finger on the pulse on the market. As international gold prices climb to new highs, the gold jewellery industry is seizing the opportunity to explore new avenues, with gold inlay jewellery, innovative and fashionable designs, and styles that combine traditional craftsmanship with cultural elements injecting fresh vitality into the market. This year's International Jewellery Show introduces the Gold Jewellery zone, showcasing unique designs and exquisitely crafted gold jewellery. The show has also invited Winston Chow, Director and Deputy General Manager of Chow Sang Sang Holdings International Ltd, and Dato' Chiah Hock Yew, President of the Federation of Goldsmiths and Jewellers Association of Malaysia, to share their expertise on the development of the gold jewellery market in the Greater China region and Malaysia.
Fashionable and affordable luxury jewellery is gaining momentum and is highlighted at the International Jewellery Show. Another blue ocean market worth exploring is men's jewellery, with nearly 200 exhibitors featuring related products at this year's show. An update on affordable luxury and men's jewellery will be presented at a seminar hosted by award-winning jewellery designer and Founder of AMEDEO by R.F.M.A.S., Amedeo Scognamiglio.
Jewellery technology is also in focus at the show, with Hong Kong exhibitor Firstpower Machinery Limited (Booth: CEC 5F-C22) showcasing an aerobic ultra-fast 3D printer, designed to enhance casting efficiency with high-speed printing capabilities for mass customisation. Italian exhibitor Doma Automation Srl (Booth: CEC 5F-C19) is presenting equipment capable of producing 360' animations that can help the industry capture e-commerce opportunities.
An increasing emphasis on sustainable development is being seen in the jewellery industry, with many exhibitors at the two shows obtaining certification from the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) and pledging to commit to sustainable operations. Some exhibitors at the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show have adopted eco-friendly cutting techniques to achieve zero emissions. And several exhibitors at the International Jewellery Show are using recycled metals to reduce raw material consumption and implementing environmentally beneficial technologies and processes, including the use of advance casting and polishing equipment to minimise waste and energy consumption. During the show, a seminar will be held to explore how ESG and ISO jewellery certifications can help the industry achieve sustainable development. The speakers include Edward Johnson, Corporate Responsibility Director at British company GEMFIELDS.

No Longer Just An Institutional Darling: Uranium.io Allows Direct Investment In Uranium For Retail Traders
By Meg Flippin Benzinga Get diversification that's not correlated with gold, oil and the S&P 500 with DETROIT, MICHIGAN - July 30, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - When it comes to alternative investments, cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens, foreign currency and fine art usually come to mind. But now investors can add direct exposure to an asset that is powering the energy needs of tomorrow to their portfolio thanks to is the first platform that enables everyday investors to buy, own and trade physical uranium, in this case uranium ore concentrate (U3O8). U308, also known as yellowcake, is contained in mill concentrates extracted from uranium ore. Once uranium ore is mined, it is processed further at a regulated warehousing and conversion facility and converted into uranium oxide. U3O8 is an intermediate product used for nuclear fuel production to power Big Tech's AI infrastructure and by governments around the world to meet their net-zero goals. Uranium Demand On The Rise Demand for uranium is increasing as AI takes off and the world moves to a greener future. Companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase energy from nuclear power plants to power their growing AI initiatives. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is gearing up to invest $70 billion into AI and energy in an effort to make the U.S. the leader in this space. But AI isn't the only driver of uranium demand. Countries around the globe are transitioning to nuclear energy as part of their efforts to achieve their net-zero carbon targets. Nuclear power is increasingly seen as a low-carbon power source to help countries around the world meet their goals. It also comes at a time when many investors are looking for long-term investment assets that give them diversification that isn't correlated with oil, gold and the S&P 500. They get that with uranium. Even if the S&P is tanking and oil demand is declining, uranium could still remain in demand. The boom in AI and the power necessary to build out AI infrastructure isn't dependent on oil or how much gold is mined. It doesn't hurt that spot uranium has outperformed the S&P 500 substantially over the past five years. It's why it's attractive to institutions and why wanted to make it easier for everyday investors to get direct access to it. Want to get in on the tokenization craze with as little as $5? Click here to get started today with Leveling The Playing Field While uranium is in demand, direct investment in physical uranium has long been reserved for institutions. Uranium trades over-the-counter in large lots, with deals often requiring millions of dollars, shutting retail investors out of the market. Sure there are Exchange Traded Investment Trusts, managed funds and mining stocks, but investors don't get direct exposure to the underlying commodity through these investment vehicles. Through a partnership with Tezos Foundation, which supports the development of the Tezos blockchain - an open-source, self-amending blockchain platform known for its focus on smart contracts - was able to acquire a tradable lot of uranium, store and tokenize it, enabling average investors to purchase fractional shares of uranium in the form of a smart contract ledger known as an xU308. Each xU308 represents a unit of ownership of U3O8 held by Archax, which serves as the custodian for investors. Archax is the UK's first regulated digital securities exchange. Meanwhile, the physical uranium backing xU3O8 is securely stored in a regulated depository operated by Cameco Corp., one of the world's largest uranium providers. Trading is made possible thanks to Curzon Uranium, a globally recognized uranium trader with more than $1 billion in transactions. The integration of these three institutions in the trading platform helps facilitate the tokenization process for this heavily regulated asset, ensuring that the handling of trades is carried out with seamless regulatory compliance, reports There is no minimum purchase amount, which means you can start small, with as little as $4, and grow from there. Plus, it's easy to begin buying uranium. All a customer has to do is sign up, create an account, fund it and start buying. Unless you are a regulated person with a converter account, you cannot request physical delivery of U3O8 – but everyone can buy, sell and hold your shares of the units you purchase. Users only pay custody and administration fees with the platform, ensuring what the company says is a transparent and accessible pricing structure. Plus, you can trade uranium 24/7, 365 days a year from anywhere in the world on participating exchanges and the platform, and enjoy near-instant settlements. When it comes to tokenizing real-time assets, uranium may not be among the first to come to mind but it should. After all, it is in demand, is hard for regular investors to get their hands on and has been outperforming the S&P 500 for several years. For investors looking for a way to diversify their portfolio and get exposure to a booming market, is giving them that. Ready to get started investing in uranium? Click here to learn more.
