Hyderabad has always had a natural pull towards jewellery and trade. From old pearl merchants to modern diamond showrooms, business runs deep in the city. So when the Hyderabad Jewellery, Pearl and Gem Fair comes around, it creates a real buzz. In May 2025, the 17th edition brought that energy back to HITEX.
Over three busy days, more than 5000 trade visitors walked through the halls of the jewellery exhibition. They came from different parts of India and even from overseas. There were 220 plus exhibitors and 450 plus brands, all showing their best work. Gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, and gemstones were everywhere.
How the 2025 Fair Helped Businesses Grow
What made this B2B jewellery exhibition feel different was how well it was planned for real business. Buyers were not just walking around. They were meeting suppliers through organised business matching. Jewellery Purchase Managers Connect helped stores find the right partners. There were also talks and panel discussions that shared useful market ideas.
Coffee with Dr. Chetan gave people a chance to talk in a relaxed way. The Zaveri Bazar Pavilion added a beautiful touch of heritage. Awards and special showcases gave many brands extra attention.
Buyers from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Maharashtra formed a strong crowd.
Why Look Forward to HJF 2026
When HJF 2026 rolls in, it is going to bring a lot of action with it. Over 350 exhibitors and nearly 8000 trade visitors means plenty of opportunities. And the timing could not be better. May is when jewellers start getting ready for the big sales months.
Retailers get to update their shelves. Wholesalers get to lock in prices early. Manufacturers get to see what catches attention. All of this happens in one place! Add jewellery, pearls, gemstones, and new tools into the mix. It keeps the fair interesting and useful.
Since the event is backed by major jewellery bodies, the participants are serious. That makes conversations turn into actual orders. Which is what every business partnership longs for.
