Globally well-known influencers, as key voices of the jewelry industry in the digitalization era, were at the show held from 01–04 April 2026.
Jewelry influencers have become some of the most important voices in the jewelry industry. By showcasing interesting jewelry brands to their audience and reviewing, styling, and wearing them, they have helped to shape the way that people think about jewelry. Many brands consider them to be essential partners in promoting their products. Jewelry influencers often have a large and engaged following on social media, which can help to drive sales and increase brand awareness. In addition, they often have a deep understanding of the jewelry industry and trends, which makes them valuable advisers for brands.
Especially Instagram has become a powerful tool for jewelry brands and individual jewelers to reach new customers and share their latest collections. While many consumers still rely on traditional print magazines to learn about new jewelry designers and trends, an increasing number of shoppers are discovering new brands and pieces through social media channels like Instagram. As the jewelry industry continues to evolve, jewelry influencers will likely play an even more important role in shaping its future
