Events Details

One of the longest-running and most anticipated events in Qatar’s annual social calendar, Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) will run from 20 to 25 February 2023, at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).

This year’s edition of DJWE is supported by Qatar National Bank (QNB) as the Official Sponsor and Qatar Airways as the Official Airline Partner. In an exciting new partnership, this year’s DJWE campaign will see music created by famed Qatari composer Ms. Dana Al Fardan.

As the region’s largest business-to-customer show of its kind, visitors from across the region can marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of over 500 globally admired jewellery and watch brands at DJWE. Spanning over 33,000 m2, the most prominent jewellers from Qatar and the world will introduce new brands, limited edition collections and extraordinary showpieces.

For the first time, this year’s edition of DJWE will see the debut of regional giant Damas Jewellery, who will reveal their mesmerising Alif collection, a selection of exceptional high-end pieces and unique jewellery creations.

In addition, Louis Vuitton will showcase for the first time in DJWE their “Fantasy necklace,” a must-see 2.56-carat Monogram flower-cut diamond. Also new in this year’s edition are two of Qatar Duty Free’s iconic cafés, Harrod’s Tea Rooms and Venchi, where DJWE visitors can savour delicious food and beverages. In addition, Valentino and Qatar’s Education Above All (EAA) Foundation will reveal a limited-edition collection of Valentino accessories that carry Educate A Child's logo, helping raise funds toward the cause.

Moreover, Phillips, a leading global platform for buying and selling 20th and 21st-century art and design, will be present at this year’s DJWE. Phillips, in association with Bacs & Russo, holds the world record for the most successful watch auctions.

Central to DJWE will be a purpose-built studio on-site where numerous interviews with renowned jewellery and watch experts will take place. With content shared on YouTube, global audiences can tap into the striking conversations and ideas generated in Doha.

A new partnership under Al Darwish Jewellery will see the addition of IDT Gemological Laboratories at this year’s DJWE, allowing customers to have their jewellery examined and certified by an internationally certified institute.

The 19th edition of DJWE also sees the return of Qatar Tourism’s Qatari Designers initiative, a long-running platform demonstrating Qatar Tourism’s ongoing commitment to nurturing local, creative talent. Established in 2017, the initiative has historically provided some of the country’s most recognised contemporary jewellery and watch brands with a springboard to help elevate their developing businesses.Additionally, the much-loved Turkish and Indian pavilions have returned this year, with vibrant stalls featuring various brands and bespoke designs that each celebrate these countries' unique heritage and culture.

Located in the heart of West Bay, DECC can be easily accessed by Doha Metro, with a direct route from Terminal 1 to the DECC Metro Station (Red Line), which has direct access to the exhibition halls.
