On July 10, 2025, Mr. Chomphol Phornchindarak, President of the Thai Gem and Jewelry Traders Association (TGJTA), led a delegation to attend the grand opening ceremony of the “2025 China Kunming International Stone Expo & Yunnan International Jewelry and Jade Expo” at the Kunming Dianchi International Convention and Exhibition Center in Kunming, Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China.

Joining him were Ms. Wilasinee Noknuam, Secretary-General of TGJTA, and Ms. Kewalin Numrit, the Thai representative and winner of the 3D CAD jewelry design category in the China & Thailand Jewelry Design Contest 2025.

This prominent international trade fair is recognized as one of the largest gem, mineral, and jewelry exhibitions in Southwest Asia, featuring more than 2,000 exhibitors from over 30 countries. The event showcased a wide array of products including natural stones, precious and semi-precious gems, jade, jewelry, and the latest innovations in gem and jewelry manufacturing.

Following the opening ceremony, the Thai delegation visited various exhibition booths alongside executives from the National Gems & Jewelry Testing Group (NGTC)—China’s leading gemological institute. During this exchange, the delegation discussed gemological standards, testing practices, and the latest trends in the Chinese consumer market.

 

The visit also presented a valuable learning opportunity for Ms. Kewalin Numrit, a young Thai jewelry designer, who gained firsthand inspiration from contemporary jewelry displays that reflect the tastes and preferences of the Chinese market. This experience is expected to contribute to her creative development and further align her future works with international trends.

TGJTA’s participation in the event underscores the Association’s commitment to strengthening Thai–Chinese economic cooperation while promoting emerging Thai talent on the global stage.
