The ministry stressed that empowering non-profit organizations in the industrial and mining sectors is vital to accelerating economic growth and fostering social development across the Kingdom.

Strategic Goals for a Modern Jewellery Industry

The new association will focus on strengthening local content in jewellery, precious metals, and gemstone products, while also expanding the Kingdom’s creative industries onto the global stage. Its objectives include:

Providing Saudi artisans and designers with technical and financial assistance

Offering professional training, workshops, and internationally recognized certifications

Encouraging the participation of women and youth in design and craftsmanship

Creating new opportunities for local talent to showcase their work at international exhibitions

The association will also help connect Saudi craftsmen and designers to value chains, enabling them to compete more effectively with established global brands.

Driving Sustainability and Digital Integration

One of the most forward-looking elements of the initiative is its focus on sustainability. The association will promote environmentally responsible practices in the gemstone and precious metals industries, ensuring that growth does not come at the expense of environmental stewardship.

In addition, a cutting-edge digital platform will be launched to connect artisans, designers, investors, and stakeholders in a collaborative online space. This will help integrate the industry, encourage partnerships, and create a strong professional network capable of competing globally.

A Vision for Global Competitiveness

By creating a unified and well-supported jewellery sector, the association aims to elevate Saudi-made jewellery as a global luxury product that reflects the Kingdom’s rich cultural identity. Officials believe this effort will open new markets for Saudi designers, drive export growth, and significantly contribute to the national GDP.

This initiative marks a turning point for the Saudi jewellery industry, positioning it to compete with leading international hubs while nurturing a new wave of creative talent. With its focus on innovation, sustainability, and skill development, the Precious Metals and Gemstones Association could redefine the Kingdom’s role in the global luxury market for decades to come.
