There are now just over two weeks remaining until the UK jewellery and watch industry comes together for its biggest, longest-running and most prestigious trade awards event, the UK Jewellery Awards 2026, in association with Betts Group.
Taking place on 8 July, the annual celebration of excellence will welcome more than 600 guests to a central London venue for an evening of recognition, networking and entertainment.
With anticipation continuing to build, a host of leading retailers, brands and suppliers have already confirmed their attendance, underlining the event’s status as the industry’s premier gathering.
Among those set to attend are major retailers Beverbrooks, Signet and Neve Jewels Group, which includes Austen & Blake and Diamonds Factory, alongside prominent independents Taylor & Hart, Berry’s Jewellers, WATCHO, Blackacre London and Hallmark Jewellers.
Leading brands including Pandora, Casio and Alex Monroe will also be represented, together with suppliers Weston Beamor, JewelCast and Clark Diamonds.
With such a strong line-up already confirmed and demand for places remaining high, organisers expect this year’s event to be one of the most successful and well-attended editions in the awards’ history.
Retail Jeweller managing editor Ruth Faulkner said: “This year’s UK Jewellery Awards attracted an unprecedented number of entries, and that excitement has been reflected in the remarkable response from those planning to attend.
“We are delighted to be hosting the awards at such a fantastic venue and look forward to welcoming guests for an unrivalled evening of celebration and networking. Attendees can expect a drinks reception, funfair, three-course dinner with unlimited wine, casino, DJ and afterparty, alongside a few surprises that will make the evening even more memorable.
“The UK Jewellery Awards is always a highlight of the industry’s calendar, bringing together retailers, brands, suppliers and industry leaders under one roof. We cannot wait to celebrate with everyone on 8 July.”
