The “Jewels of the World” exhibition, running at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh from October 3 to 7, has introduced an on-site VAT refund service for international visitors, made possible through coordination with the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority and Global Blue.
The exhibition will later move to the Jeddah Hilton from October 11 to 14, hosting over 100 prestigious global jewelry brands.
This development underscores the Kingdom’s ambition to establish itself as a premier luxury tourism hub, offering visitors a seamless and more attractive shopping experience. The exhibition combines legacy jewelry houses with emerging designers, reflecting a fusion of heritage and innovation.
Key trends include bold architectural designs paired with cultural motifs, alongside a renewed fascination with rare natural pearls and sculptural emeralds.
The event highlights the rising international demand for access to the Kingdom’s luxury market, where discerning clientele and strong purchasing power have transformed it from a curious emerging market into a vital strategic destination. By blending global artistry with regional heritage, the exhibition offers visitors both timeless masterpieces and innovative future heirlooms.
