Edelsteintage Cologne

Edelsteintage Cologne is a specialized trade and public fair dedicated to gemstones, minerals, jewelry, and fossils. Since its inception in 2019, the event has been held twice a year at the historic Gürzenich in the heart of Cologne. Organized by Crystal Events UG, based in Idar-Oberstein – a city renowned for its gemstone heritage – the fair benefits from the organizer’s in-depth industry expertise and extensive experience in managing public exhibitions. Over time, it has evolved into a key meeting point for the sector.

The event attracts a diverse audience: professional traders, designers, mineral collectors, jewelry enthusiasts, and creative DIY fans alike. Visitors can explore a wide range of aesthetically and geologically captivating exhibits while gaining inspiration for personal projects and collections. The product offerings include rare minerals, crystals, and fossils, alongside exclusive jewelry pieces, raw stones, gemstone strands, pearls, and high-quality accessories. On-site services include gemstone drilling and a free identification service, offering insights into the origin and quality of brought-in or newly purchased pieces.

Edelsteintage Cologne stands out for its combination of expert knowledge, immersive experiences, and shopping opportunities. International exhibitors engage with an inquisitive audience, supported by expert lectures, rotating special exhibitions, and hands-on workshops designed to appeal to both newcomers and seasoned professionals. Exhibitors represent a wide array of fields, including gemstone dealers, jewelry designers, goldsmiths, geologists, as well as providers of naturopathic products and creative supplies.

Cologne’s central location in North Rhine-Westphalia, excellent transport links, and cosmopolitan atmosphere make it an ideal venue for a fair of this kind. The Gürzenich is within walking distance of Cologne Central Station and easily accessible by public transport and car. The event is part of a broader series of fairs held regularly in Bremen, Hanover, and Dortmund – a clear indicator of the growing interest in high-quality gemstone and jewelry exhibitions in Germany.

Edelsteintage Cologne is far more than a sales event. It is a vibrant forum for exchange, discovery, and inspiration – right in the heart of a culturally rich city.

The Edelsteintage takes place half-yearly, and therefore for the second time previsibly in November 2025 in Cologne.
