Türkiye reached its highest-ever level of jewelry exports in 2025, with $7.9 billion. In global trade, international fairs in particular play an effective role in the sustainable growth of exports. IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show, one of the world's five largest jewelry fairs, continues to be one of the most important meeting points of this trade ecosystem for 40 years. To be held for the 60th time between September 30 and October 3, 2026, under the sponsorship of Elmas Kule, IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show will bring together approximately 18,000 industry professionals from more than 120 countries at Istanbul Expo Center. Continuing to support the competitiveness of the jewelry industry in international markets, IJS is preparing once again to contribute to the establishment of high-volume trade connections.
IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show Founding Partner Şermin Cengiz said, "Today, international fairs are not merely organizations where products are exhibited; they are one of the most effective platforms for opening up to new markets, building trust-based commercial relationships, and growing exports sustainably. Although digital communication accelerates business processes, face-to-face meetings continue to be one of the most important elements of trade in high value-added sectors such as jewelry." She stated that their fair has contributed to bringing the Turkish jewelry industry together with world markets for 40 years. Cengiz said, "IJS continues to be a strategic meeting point that increases the international visibility of Turkish jewelry, creates new trade opportunities for our manufacturers, and supports high export targets."
The second IJS gathering of the year, to be held at Istanbul Expo Center under the sponsorship of Elmas Kule, is preparing to host approximately 18,000 professional buyers from more than 120 countries. IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show, where nearly 1,000 companies and brands from 15 countries, including Türkiye, will bring their newest products and collections together with international buyers, will contribute to developing new collaborations, strengthening commercial connections, and increasing export-focused negotiations. Bringing industry professionals together on a global scale, the fair will offer participating companies the opportunity to access new markets while also adding value to Türkiye's jewelry exports and international trade volume.
