International Jewellery London

What International Jewellery London does

International Jewellery London (IJL) was a B2B trade exhibition established in London in the 1950s, operated by Reed Exhibitions Limited (a private limited company registered in England and Wales, ultimately a subsidiary of RELX Group plc). The event functioned as an annual in-person showcase of fine, bridal, and demi-fine jewellery, targeting jewellery retailers and trade buyers with direct purchasing responsibility on one side, and jewellery brands, manufacturers, and designers (both established and emerging) on the other. The show positioned itself as a venue where heritage craftsmanship met contemporary design, with trends unveiled and new brands and ranges introduced to qualified buyers.

IJL's product was a single, recurring physical exhibition rather than a software or technology platform. Monetisation operated through exhibitor fees for booth space and display, supplemented by sponsorship deals, visitor registration, and associated event services; pricing was not publicly disclosed and interested parties were directed to a register-interest form. Marketing and audience development relied on the official website, email/registration capture, and an owned social media presence across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, amplified by the global RX (formerly Reed Exhibitions) event network.

Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Reed Exhibitions took the decision not to run IJL in 2021 and the event was subsequently discontinued. As of the latest source material, the company's website continues to announce that the event will not be taking place, while social channels and a registration form remain live. The IJL brand is retained as a trade mark of Reed Exhibitions Limited within the RELX Group plc portfolio, with no confirmed relaunch date.
