Jaipur Jewellery Show (JJS) has announced the dates and revised format for its 2026 edition, introducing structural changes aimed at strengthening trade engagement.

The exhibition will be held from December 22 to 25, 2026, at the Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre (JECC), Jaipur. A new invite-only preview day has been scheduled on December 21, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

The preview day is designed exclusively for trade visitors, offering early access to exhibitors and enabling focused business discussions before the public opening. The format aims to facilitate high-value networking and improve buyer-seller interactions.

According to organizers, the addition aligns JJS with global trade show practices, where pre-opening access is used to streamline business outcomes and prioritise trade engagement.

Following the preview, the main exhibition will run over four days. From December 22 to 24, the show will operate with full-day business hours and limited public access in the afternoon. December 25 will mark the closing day, with slightly reduced hours.

The revised schedule formalises a five-day structure, combining a dedicated trade window with broader consumer participation. This segmentation is expected to allow exhibitors to manage business meetings more efficiently while maintaining consumer outreach.

While dates and format changes have been confirmed, organisers have not yet detailed the official theme for the 2026 edition. Historically, JJS themes have influenced exhibitor presentations and design direction, particularly in categories such as coloured gemstones.

The introduction of a preview day and clearer separation between trade and public hours reflects a shift towards a more structured exhibition model. Jaipur’s role as a key hub for coloured gemstones and jewellery manufacturing remains central to the show’s positioning.

The updated format is expected to support stronger participation from trade buyers, including international stakeholders, as the industry adapts to evolving global trade dynamics.
