Grand Inauguration, Grand Expectations
India’s gem & jewellery trade is in the spotlight as GJC’s 8th India Gem & Jewellery Show (GJS2025) launches at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre with over 350 exhibitors, 750 booths, 2,000+ buyers and more than 10,000 visitors. Led by Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the event—tagged #HamaraApnaShow—highlights collections ranging from heritage bridal pieces to fashion-forward designs timed for the festive-wedding season.
Tradition Meets Innovation—and a Rising Ethical Demand
While the show celebrates India’s deep roots in jewellery tradition, there’s a growing presence of modern concerns: hallmarking, certification, and educational initiatives (like Labham) aiming to build trust. In a global market leaning toward ethical jewelry, sustainable gemstones, and lab-grown diamonds, exhibitors who showcase transparency and responsible sourcing may stand out.
Resilience, Government Support & Transparency
Despite challenges like tariff shifts and regulatory complexity, the industry here shows grit. The government’s involvement in certification, reforms, and support for jewellers signals a push toward organized, traceable trade. When consumers demand origin clarity and ethical practices, this kind of transparency becomes a competitive advantage.
