Visiting exhibitions about jewelry

I’ve seen announcements for some jewelry events but never attended. Are they more for collectors or professionals?

From what I’ve experienced, Jewelry & gemstone exhibitions are useful for both. Collectors come to see rare stones and exclusive designs, while professionals focus on sourcing, networking, and learning about new cutting and polishing techniques. Exhibitors include gemstone suppliers, jewelry brands, and equipment producers. There are also seminars on sustainability and ethical sourcing, which have become key topics in the industry. Attending such exhibitions gives you an overview of the market and connects you directly with global players.
