Event overview
The Hyderabad Jewellery, Pearl & Gem Fair 2027 runs 7–9 May at HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, Telangana.
The three-day B2B show is organised by Informa Markets India with the Hitech City Jewellery Manufacturers Association.
Entry is free for trade buyers, and the 2025 edition drew more than 5,000 trade visitors and 220 exhibitors.
TL;DR
Buyers can compare gold, diamond, pearl and gem-set ranges from hundreds of Hyderabad manufacturers in one hall, negotiate directly with workshops, and source loose stones and machinery without travelling to multiple clusters. The free trade pass and three-day run make it a practical sourcing trip for South Indian retailers.
Exhibitors reach independent jewellers, chain buyers and bullion merchants from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring states. The show's association backing and buyer hospitality programme concentrate qualified regional demand, while HITEX's airport road location keeps logistics simple for Mumbai and Chennai suppliers.

Growth over time
Impact
HJF matters most to South Indian retailers who need fresh gold, diamond and pearl stock before the wedding and festive seasons. Its free trade pass and Hyderabad location lower the cost of meeting manufacturers directly, but the absence of published 2026 totals means buyers should treat scale claims conservatively.
Audience quality
The audience is trade-only: independent jewellers, wholesalers, bullion merchants and designers from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and neighbouring states. Association backing from HJMA and IBJA signals a concentrated regional buyer base rather than general consumers. Expect owner-operators and purchase decision-makers, not junior staff.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on the quality of pre-booked buyer meetings rather than raw footfall. Manufacturers with regional distribution, fast-moving lightweight bridal ranges and clear hallmarking documentation are best placed. A 9 sqm shell booth is a low-cost test; larger makers should budget for a 36 sqm raw-space build and pre-schedule appointments with key retailers.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Hyderabad anchors South India's jewellery manufacturing belt, with a dense base of gold, diamond and pearl workshops serving regional retailers. HJF concentrates that supply base in a free, trade-only format, making it a low-cost sourcing stop before the wedding and festive buying cycles.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Organised retail and hallmarking
Indian buyers increasingly favour BIS-hallmarked, transparently priced jewellery, pushing manufacturers to document purity and sourcing.
What it changes: Exhibitors that display certification and clean supply-chain paperwork win retailer trust faster.
Lightweight bridal and daily-wear gold
Rising gold prices are shifting demand toward lightweight bridal sets and everyday gold pieces with lower grammage but strong design content.
What it changes: Collections priced for repeat purchase, not only wedding budgets, broaden the buyer base at regional fairs.
Lab-grown diamonds and coloured stones
Lab-grown diamond jewellery and coloured gemstone pieces are gaining shelf space alongside natural diamond ranges in Indian retail.
What it changes: Buyers now compare natural, lab-grown and coloured-stone options at the same sourcing visit.
HJF sits in an annual South and West India jewellery calendar; buyers often combine it with larger Mumbai and Jaipur shows.
