GemGenève, the Geneva International Gem and Jewellery Show, takes place at Palexpo, Le Grand-Saconnex, from 11 to 14 May 2027. The 11th edition welcomes trade professionals, connoisseurs and private buyers.
The story
Ronny Totah and Thomas Faerber founded GemGenève in 2018. According to Ronny Totah, a link was missing in a trade made up of many family businesses. Some jewellers felt lost at the large Basel fair. The show was designed by exhibitors, for exhibitors.
The first edition took place from 10 to 13 May 2018 with 147 exhibitors. Its dates matched the Sotheby’s and Christie’s jewellery auctions in Geneva.
In 2022, GemGenève held two editions. After the May show, a fifth edition took place from 3 to 6 November at Palexpo, at exhibitors’ request. It accompanied the Geneva Luxury Week auctions.
The founders aim to encourage creativity, support talent and foster the exchange of knowledge across the gem and jewellery community. The 2027 edition is the 11th, according to Palexpo.
Who organises it
Gemexpo SA organises the show. Nadège Totah and Ida Faerber sit on the Board of Directors. Mathieu Dekeukelaire is the Director.
What to find
Gem dealers, jewellers and designers exhibit in Hall 2 at Palexpo. The programme includes talks, a Métiers d’Art (Artistic Crafts) section and masterclasses. The exhibition Shaping Matter, Enhancing Beauty is on show.
