Jewels of the World Riyadh is set to welcome more than 180 international and regional jewellery houses when it opens its doors next month. For the first time, the event will also introduce Timeology Nights, an immersive high watchmaking experience showcasing more than 35 Haute Horlogerie maisons.

To account for the growing number of exhibitors over the years and a rapidly expanding community of watch and jewellery enthusiasts in the Kingdom, October 2026 sees Jewels of the World expand across two venues.

Jewels of the World Luxe will take place from 9-13 October 2026 at Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh – incorporating Timeology Nights – and Jewels of the World Fine Jewellery will be held from 11-15 October at Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah.

Jewels of the World offers visitors the opportunity to discover the exceptional craftsmanship, innovation, shifts in trends shaping the world of jewellery – and now high watchmaking. The event acts as a platform to foster dialogue between buyers, brands and industry leaders, and brings together an exceptional breadth of international and regional names from Europe, Asia, Africa, the US and the Middle East.

At Jewels of the World Luxe, guests can uncover large and elaborate jewellery sets, the world’s finest diamonds and precious gemstones, bridal pieces, family heirlooms, pearls and contemporary high jewellery interpretations, all available for purchase.

Exhibiting houses include Aliel Italia, Carlo Barberis, Carrera Y Carrera, Casato, Charles Oudin, Etho Maria, FerriFirenze, George Hakim, Giovanni Ferraris, Hasbani Gioielli, JJewels Milano, Karen Suen Fine Jewellery, Lenti 1963, Luca Carati, Luise Gioielli, Luvor Italia, Marceline Paris, Mayiana, Moussaieff Jewellers, Pasquale Bruni, Scavia, Tariq Riaz Jewelry, Vanessa Gioielli, Veschetti, Yoko London and Yvan Tufenkjian, among others.

Jewels of the World Luxe will see a series of educational seminars hosted by IGI, one of the world’s largest independent jewellery grading and accreditation providers. Each evening, one of IGI’s experts will explore topics ranging from natural versus lab-grown diamonds and the Diamond 4Cs, to diamond versus moissanite and the mapping and identification of inclusions in rubies and sapphires.

Taking place alongside the Luxe show, Timeology Nights brings together over 35 international watch brands, independent watchmakers, collectors and prominent industry voices.

Spanning three inter-connected halls at the Four Seasons, it includes the Indie Salon celebrating independent watchmakers and craftsmanship, the Grand Salon, a series of flagship showcases for celebrated high watchmakers and CWC collectors, and The Majlis, a dedicated space for interactive workshops, panel talks and social functions.

The new and highly anticipated horology platform is developed in partnership with 10Ten Labs and Saudi Arabia’s most established Collector’s Watch Club (CWC).

Lange & Söhne, Al Hussaini Trading Company, Andersen Genève, Angelus, Armin Strom, Biver, Breva Genève, Byrne Watch, Christiaan van der Klaauw, Chronoswiss, Citizen, Crown & Compass, CVSTOS, Czapek, David Candaux, De Bethune, Dennison, Franck Muller, Frédéric Jouvenot, Frederique Constant, FVF Genève, HYT, ID Genève, Kerbedanz, Konstantin Chaykin, L.
