At this year’s SEMICON Taiwan, a 50-carat CVD-grown diamond drew particular attention on the exhibition floor. At first glance, diamonds and semiconductors belong to two distinctly different industries—jewellery and technology. Yet the two intersect through a shared focus on materials. From the arrangement of carbon atoms to the colours of gemstones, and from crystal structures to the ways in which different materials are layered, the composition and structure of a material often determine the properties it ultimately exhibits.

The creation of a piece of jewellery often begins with a seemingly simple question: What does the designer want people to see? Is it the brilliance of the gemstone itself, or an unprecedented form? Is it a response to nature, culture and history, or an observation of contemporary ways of life? From the initial inspiration to the finished piece, every decision shapes the character of the work and determines how it will be seen, worn and remembered.

International Buyers, Jewellery Brands and Suppliers Gather in Taipei to Tap into Asian Market Opportunities August 2026 | Taipei, Taiwan — Informa Markets Asia Ltd., Taiwan Branch, announced that the 9th Taiwan Jewellery & Gem Fair (TJG) will take place from November 20–23, 2026, at Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1. With three months to go, the organiser is bringing together jewellery industry resources from Taiwan and overseas. The fair is expected to attract 10,000 professional buyers, jewellery brands, manufacturers, suppliers, designers and industry professionals, offering a dedicated platform for international sourcing, business matchmaking and industry networking.

As Taiwan advances its vision of becoming Asia’s Asset Management Centre, an increasing number of financial institutions are expanding their family office services. Beyond safeguarding wealth during the coming era of large-scale intergenerational wealth transfer, they are also placing greater emphasis on alternative assets to broaden wealth management strategies.

Stepping into a jewellery fair, visitors are often greeted by a dazzling array of exquisite creations and elegantly presented jewellery brands. Many first-time attendees find themselves asking similar questions: “Can I visit even without a budget?” or “Is it impolite to just look without buying?”
