Indonesia’s superior jewelry sector has made a noticeable international impact. During the JA New York 2025 exhibition at New York’s Javits Center from 26–28 October, the Indonesian Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) Chicago—operating under the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia—noted a promising transaction potential of about USD 1.87 million (approximately IDR 31.12 billion) achieved by Indonesian MSME jewelry brands. Participation by brands such as Manoja Jewelry and Titian Fine Jewelry, along with U.S. partner Nakula Jewelry, showcased creative designs including pearl pieces, silver-based jewelry, and modern-ethnic metalworks. This reflects both the export readiness and global competitiveness of Indonesia’s creative and design-oriented jewelry industry.

According to trade data from S&P Global/Global Trade Atlas, Indonesia’s jewelry exports to the United States in 2024 reached USD 161 million, slightly down from USD 172.7 million the previous year, indicating a strong but somewhat plateaued position. Moreover, Indonesia’s overall trade with the U.S. for January–August 2025 hit USD 29 billion, with exports at USD 20.6 billion and imports at USD 8.4 billion, highlighting a sustained trade surplus and the jewelry sector’s potential as part of the value-added exports strategy. The success at the New York exhibition suggests a valuable window for Indonesian firms to deepen U.S. market penetration by leveraging innovation, design identity, and export-oriented support programs.
