GemGenève will host its 10th edition from May 7–10, 2026 at Palexpo, Geneva, with a dedicated focus on emerging designers through its Designers’ Village initiative.

The section will feature a curated selection of eight artists presenting contemporary jewellery, offering exposure alongside established industry participants. According to the organizers, the platform is designed to support new talent and contribute to the broader jewellery ecosystem.

“GemGenève offers emerging artists genuine exposure right up there alongside bigger players, and their fresh insights contribute to the ecosystem as a whole,” said Nadège Totah, co-organizer of GemGenève.

Among the participants, several designers will exhibit for the first time, including Be Liza (UK), Mike Joseph (Thailand), Hemera Paris (France), Incarnem (France), and Plah (Italy). Returning participants include A.win Siu (China), Richard Wu Jewelry (China), and Jaqueline Powers (USA), each presenting new collections and works.

The event will also highlight emerging talent through dedicated segments, including five designers identified as “below the radar” in the global market. These brands are expected to present new collections, with limited production and handcrafted pieces.

“We’re delighted to be presenting new pieces – bold creations that are also designed to be comfortable to wear,” said Vince Gerardis of Jaqueline Powers.

In addition, GemGenève will continue its collaboration with Digital Jewelry Week, integrating online and physical exhibition formats. The platform has recorded over 12,000 visits and connects designers and brands from 29 countries.

“Being present at GemGenève 10 is a real milestone for Digital Jewelry Week, demonstrating that online presentations and physical excellence are not opposites but complementary forces,” said Dario Rjeili of Digital Exhibition Group S.R.L.

The event will also feature participation from organisations including the Armenian Jewellers Association, Jewellery and Gemstone Association of Africa, and design schools, reinforcing its role as a global industry meeting platform.
