.珠宝
Is .珠宝 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody is chasing .珠宝, as of 7 October 2026. One applicant claimed it and is out. We keep the entry on the record either way.

A Chinese word for jewelry as a web ending; China's jewelry trade lives on big platforms, so few would make this their main address.
chinese-language jewelry merchants, jewelers, and gem/jade traders wanting a native-script label — in practice mostly defensive or marketing-side registrations by brands already anchored elsewhere
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round; a Chinese-script IDN (“jewelry”, A-label xn--pbt977c). Their catalog line: “Precious materials, shaped into lasting beauty.”
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
The Latin-script twin of the same wager — an unowned generic category noun whose value depends entirely on an entire industry's merchants deciding a category suffix beats their .com, with the registry as landlord rather than any brand putting its own identity on it.
Same structural bet one shelf over: a Chinese-script generic noun for a high-consideration luxury goods category, betting that Chinese-language commerce will organize itself by product vertical rather than by brand or by .cn/.com.
What a .珠宝 domain is
.珠宝 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. Nobody is chasing .珠宝 today. The applicants that claimed it are out.
Is the .珠宝 domain extension real yet?
.珠宝 is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .珠宝 domain?
You can’t yet. A .珠宝 name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .珠宝 was .jewelry, delegated on 16 April 2015.
Is .珠宝 a real TLD?
Not yet. .珠宝 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because an applicant claimed .珠宝 and is no longer in it. We keep the entry, and every entry on this page links to its source.

- This sits in the 10-29 band (vanity/narrow): a product-category Chinese-script IDN whose plausible demand is shallow and mostly defensive. By analogy, Chinese-script IDN TLDs broadly — including generic commerce strings like .公司, .商城 and even the country-anchored .中国 — have seen thin genuine primary-identity use, because Chinese commerce concentrates on platforms (marketplace storefronts, WeChat/mini-programs) and users rarely type han-character URLs; a single-vertical string like jewelry is narrower still. It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no evidence-by-analogy of volume or price-driven registration demand for vertical Chinese IDNs, and the brand signal to a Chinese jeweler is weak next to a platform storefront; it is above the 1-9 band because China has a large real jewelry industry, so some merchants and brands plausibly register for campaigns, signage, or defense. Main market uncertainty: whether Chinese browser, input-method, and platform behavior shifts over the next 5 years toward native-script domains, which would lift all han IDNs including this one.
