The seventh edition of Haute Jewels Geneva concluded on a strongly positive note, taking place from April 14 to 20, 2026 and once again transforming the InterContinental Hotel in Geneva into a key destination for high jewellery. The event recorded a 20% increase in attendance compared to 2025, confirming its strategic role within the international trade fair landscape. A total of 44 high-end jewellery houses from 13 countries took part, offering buyers, press and selected guests an exhibition experience defined by refinement, discretion and personal interaction. Among the exhibitors were Damiani, Pasquale Bruni, Crivelli, Leo Pizzo, FerriFirenze, Palmiero, Yoko London, Dolce & Gabbana, Carrera y Carrera, Recarlo, Picchiotti, Serafino Consoli, and many other leading names in the sector. Despite an ongoing uncertain global context, the event attracted an increasingly international audience, with particularly strong growth in visitors from Latin America, alongside steady increases from Europe and North America. Founded in 2019 by Michael Hakimian, CEO of Yoko London, the event began as an intimate showcase featuring just four companies and has rapidly evolved into a key appointment for the high jewellery industry. This growth, however, has not altered its founding philosophy: to create an elegant, highly curated environment where jewellery can be experienced up close and dialogue between professionals remains central. «The growth this year confirms the value of a more personal and carefully curated format», Hakimian commented. «Haute Jewels Geneva continues to bring together leading brands, international retailers and the press in an environment that fosters authentic connections, discovery and business opportunities». The fair was spread across five distinct spaces within the hotel—The Palace, The Grand Villas, The Penthouses, The Grand Arena and The Grand Ballroom—all designed to preserve the salon-style atmosphere that defines Haute Jewels Geneva. The format highlights the craftsmanship and creative excellence of the collections on display. Among the 2026 novelties was the introduction of a dedicated restaurant within The Palace, offering complimentary catering throughout the day, designed to encourage informal moments of exchange beyond the exhibition areas. Evenings concluded with curated cocktail events, providing a relaxed yet sophisticated setting for networking among exhibitors, retailers and international media—positioning the event as a true relationship platform, where heritage and innovation, established houses and emerging visions come into dialogue.
The next appointment is the eighth edition, scheduled for spring 2027 at the same location.
