The 60th IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show, held 30 September – 3 October 2026 at the Istanbul Expo Center, has closed. For four days we hosted jewelers, workshop owners and business partners from Türkiye and abroad at Hall 5, Booth 5G40.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. In this post we have put together what happened at the show, which machines drew the most interest and what we took away after four days.

In short The 60th IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show ran 30 September – 3 October 2026 at the Istanbul Expo Center and has now closed. NRT Technic Machines exhibited at Hall 5 – Booth 5G40; the XRF gold analyzer and the fiber laser marking and cutting machine were running. Over the four days we took orders from the Balkans, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.

Which jewelry machines were at our booth?

We brought the following machines for the jewelry and precious metals industry to the booth:

Machines that were running at the booth Of the machines at the booth, the XRF gold analyzer and the fiber laser marking and cutting machine were in operation. No melting was carried out on the show floor — visitors inspected the induction melting furnaces and ultrasonic cleaners in person and discussed them with our technical team.

Highlights from the show

The machines that drew the most interest. The two products that attracted the most questions were the gold testing machine and the fiber laser marking machine. Both sit right inside daily operations: one removes the karat risk at the buying counter, the other answers the demand for personalization.

International visitors. We met visitors from many countries — the Balkans and Saudi Arabia above all — as well as from cities across Türkiye.

On-the-spot karat testing. We measured the karat of pieces visitors brought with them right at the booth using the XRF analyzer. The gap between seeing a machine in a brochure and reading the result off your own piece was the clearest lesson of the show.

Orders taken at the show. Over the four days we took orders for the gold testing machine, the mini induction melting furnace and the fiber laser marking machine, from customers in the Balkans, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.

Samples marked with the fiber laser

The gold plates, coins and rings on display at the booth were processed with our fiber laser marking machine. Showing portraits, logos, text and patterns produced on the same machine was the shortest way to explain how sharply it renders each kind of detail.

These are our own samples The marking in the photo was done on sample pieces prepared by NRT; no laser trials were carried out on visitors' own items on the show floor. If you would like to see a trial on your own piece, get in touch and we will arrange a sample run.
