Today, jewelry is no longer limited to special occasions but has become a fashion staple for self-expression in everyday life.

Reflecting these trends, the event will bring together a wide array of jewelry and materials, including high jewelry and diamonds, natural and rare gemstones from around the world, and original creations by independent artisans. Additionally, the event will feature workshops and talk sessions for all ages, a jewelry repair corner, and on the second day, the 'Japan Jewelry Best Dressed Award' ceremony.
