3 Good Reasons (at least) to Visit GemGenève

This week, from May 7th to 10th, Palexpo is hosting the 10th edition of GemGenève. But what sets this exhibition apart?

A hybrid approach that combines all aspects of jewelry making in a friendly atmosphere, with organizers who have resisted the temptation to grow too large, limiting access to approximately 250 exhibitors and no more. There are at least three good reasons to visit: a complete ecosystem gathered under one roof, including gemstone traders, antique jewelry experts, artisans, talented designers (the Designer Village), and educational and cultural institutions. The second reason: an exceptional program dedicated to the art of material work, with the exhibition "Shaping Light, Sublime," featuring 100 collection pieces, 15 conferences with expert speakers (SSEF, Louvre Museum, Baur Foundation...) and a pop-up bookstore offering specialized books. The third reason: colored diamonds will take center stage. They continue to captivate collectors, and their success at auction is undeniable: $71.2 million for the 59.60-carat Pink Star, $57.5 million for the 14.62-carat Oppenheimer Blue, and over $25 million for the (mere) 9.51-carat Mellon Blue. The Natural Diamond Council provides a staggering figure: the pink diamonds extracted worldwide in a year would fit in a champagne flute! The fair welcomes more than 50 exhibitors specializing in diamonds, nine of whom will present exceptional specimens, including pink diamonds from Canada, South Africa and Botswana. /public-objects/382a57c2-58ce-461d-8ef5-ea3e23fd52ec-db925150-0783-414c-9d4e-82dc3d1d5777-Nirvana%20rings%20%20%C3%82%C2%A9%20Richard%20Wu%202.webp Image sélectionnée With a record attendance in 2025 (4,970 visitors, an increase of 34% compared to 2024), GemGenève has secured its place on the shortlist of indispensable jewelry shows.
