International Jewellery London
International Jewellery London (IJL) was the UK’s premier trade event for jewellers, designers, manufacturers, and suppliers, renowned for showcasing new collections, setting trends, and fostering vital business connections.

Jewellery Focus reflects on IJL’s impact with retrospective coverage, insights into its closure, and analysis of how its absence has reshaped the UK’s trade show landscape.
