Saudi Arabia, with a GDP of USD 1.1 trillion, is transforming rapidly into a hub for contemporary and luxury jewellery. Market projections indicate a near doubling of its jewellery sector, from USD 4.56 billion in 2024 to USD 8.34 billion by 2030. This Saudi Arabia Gems News report underscores how the rise of a young, urban, and fashion-conscious population is fueling demand for 18K and 21K gold, diamond-studded ornaments, lab-grown diamond collections, and exquisite design-led pieces.

SAJEX 2025 to Spotlight India’s Global Jewellery Leadership

Backed by India’s Ministry of Commerce & Industry, the Embassy of India in Riyadh, and the Consulate General in Jeddah, SAJEX has already launched with successful curtain-raiser events in Jeddah and Riyadh in early July. These events attracted more than 280 industry stakeholders, signaling strong enthusiasm from Saudi buyers, retailers, and wholesalers.

SAJEX 2025 will feature over 200 exhibitors occupying 250+ booths, representing leading manufacturers and designers from India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey, Hong Kong, and Lebanon. More than 2,000 international buyers are expected to attend, exploring an expansive range of jewellery — from diamond solitaires and colored gemstones to platinum pieces, bridal collections, and cutting-edge jewellery technology.

A Vision Aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Economic Goals

Dr. Suhel Ajaz Khan, India’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, hailed SAJEX as “a natural extension of India’s gemstone leadership” and a vital platform to enhance trade and cultural ties. Fahad Ahmed Khan Suri, India’s Consul General in Jeddah, described the event as “a symbol of the growing partnership between India and Saudi Arabia.” GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali added that the initiative was a pivotal step towards tapping into the Kingdom’s premium jewellery appetite while helping India’s gem exports—valued at over USD 32 billion annually—gain deeper inroads into the region.

New Horizons with World Jewellery Investment Forum

In conjunction with SAJEX, GJEPC and Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Investment announced the formation of the World Jewellery Investment Forum, aimed at fostering knowledge exchange, creating joint ventures, and emphasizing the importance of gemstone traceability and ethical sourcing. The forum will act as a catalyst for elevating the global perception of Saudi Arabia as a premier jewellery destination, while giving Indian exporters a stronger platform to showcase design innovation and artisanal craftsmanship.

SAJEX 2025 not only reflects the immense trade potential between India and Saudi Arabia but also aligns seamlessly with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy and strengthen sectors like luxury retail, tourism, and culture. With India’s unmatched expertise in diamond polishing, colored stone mastery, and custom jewellery design, this partnership is poised to reshape the regional jewellery landscape and usher in a new era of strategic collaboration between two rising giants in the global luxury sector.
