Jewellery and watch exhibitions in the Middle East

In September 2026, major jewellery and cultural exhibitions were announced for Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Saudi Arabia planned a multi-city programme for the Jewels of the World event in Riyadh and Jeddah, featuring high jewellery, rare gemstones, and Swiss haute horlogerie. Simultaneously, Qatar Museums and L’ÉCOLE scheduled the ‘Around the World in Jewellery’ exhibition at M7, showcasing over 500 pieces from the National Collection of Qatar and the Van Cleef & Arpels patrimonial collection.

By early October 2026, the 22nd edition of the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE) concluded in Qatar. Organized by Qatar Tourism, the six-day event drew over 34,000 visitors and featured more than 50 exhibitors representing 500 brands. The exhibition included the launch of the DJWE Studio for workshops and panel discussions, as well as dedicated pavilions for Qatari, Turkish, and Indian designers. Additionally, a two-year charitable collaboration was established between the Education Above All Foundation and David Webb to support social impact initiatives through a limited-edition collection.
