Riyadh’s First Jewels Of The World Show Opens To The Public

The much-anticipated Jewels of the World exhibition debuted in grand fashion on November 3rd, 2024, officially inaugurated by Krayem AlEnazi, President of the National Committee for Precious Metals and Gemstones - Federation of Saudi Chambers. Hosted at the prestigious Hilton Riyadh Hotel and Residences, this captivating four-day event, part of Riyadh Season, is a first of its kind, bringing together Saudi Arabia’s elite trendsetters, discerning collectors, and esteemed jewellery industry leaders under one roof.

The exhibition, open to the public until November 6th, 2024, offers a dazzling array of creations, from both renowned jewellery houses and independent designers, showcasing rare gemstones, artistic innovations, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Visitors can marvel at timeless masterpieces that bridge tradition and contemporary artistry, celebrating the creativity and culture of Arabia, Asia, Europe, and beyond.

Jewels of the World invites attendees to immerse themselves in an eclectic collection of exquisite pieces—from diamond-studded sets, radiant sapphires, rubies, and emeralds to natural pearls and avant-garde fine jewellery. This exhibition not only captures the essence of global artistry but also highlights the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that defines each creation.

Among the standout exhibitors, Araya steals the show with its Diamond Lozenge and Emerald Necklace, featuring a breathtaking 439.31 carats of emeralds complemented by 33.33 carats of dazzling diamonds.

Another showstopper comes from Tariq Riaz, a tech-guru-turned-jeweller whose innovative mechanisms allow diamond-encrusted fine jewellery to expand, ensuring a perfect fit that adjusts as you move. Etho Maria showcases high jewellery creations that take over 1,000 hours of meticulous handcrafting, while Nafees Jewellers astounds with bold, border-transcending designs that embody couture sophistication.
