		<description><![CDATA[TOKYO, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- International Jewellery Kobe (IJK) will 
be held May 14–16, 2026 at Kobe International Exhibition Hall, returning for 
its landmark 30th edition as a business-first marketplace for the jewellery 
trade. Recognised as Western Japan's largest jewellery event, IJK connects 
buyers, wholesalers, retailers, designers, and manufacturers for concentrated, 
face-to-face sourcing and negotiation. Launched in 1997 as an initiative to 
help revitalise Kobe after the Great Hanshin–Awaji Earthquake, the show has 
evolved into a key midyear touchpoint for Japan and the wider Asian market.

Why IJK Is Worth the Trip—Scale, Variety, and an Efficient, Zone‑Based Visit

IJK 2026 is expected to welcome 480 exhibitors and 14,000 visitors, 
presenting an estimated 890,000 jewellery items available for display and 
immediate sale. The mix spans fine jewellery, pearls, loose stones, 
re-jewellery, metals including gold, and business supporting solutions—built 
for fast comparison and practical decision-making on site.

To keep visits efficient, the show floor is organised into product zones so 
trade visitors can plan a focused route by category and buying purpose. 
Dedicated areas cover finished jewellery and gemstones, Japan's pearl 
specialties, and rejewellery and preowned luxury—reflecting the industry's 
growing attention to circularity and value retention. Designer and 
artisan-focused sections add originality for retailers looking to differentiate 
assortments. 

Part of the IJT Series—Three Chances a Year to Meet the Industry

IJK is part of the IJT Series, a trio of jewellery trade shows held three 
times each year—Tokyo in January, Kobe in May, and Yokohama in October—known 
for gathering the industry at scale across diamonds, gemstones, and pearl 
jewellery. For professionals who cannot attend in Kobe, the series provides 
additional touchpoints at IJT AUTUMN 2026 and IJT 2027.

Trade and media can access the latest show updates online to plan a category 
focused visit and make the most of three days in Kobe.
