Trust, tradition, and timeless craftsmanship took center stage as the Indian jewellery fraternity came together to commemorate a historic moment—100 years of Bhima Jewellery. The centennial celebration was marked by the grand unveiling of a commemorative coffee table book at the prestigious GJS 2025 chronicling the illustrious journey of one of India’s most respected jewellery houses.

The book, a visual and narrative tribute, beautifully captures the evolution of Bhima Jewellery—from a modest store established in 1925 by visionary founder Bhima Bhattar to a household name synonymous with quality, trust, and excellence in jewellery.

Addressing an emotional gathering, Dr. B Govindan, Chairman of Bhima Jewellery, reflected on the brand’s humble origins in Kerala. With heartfelt reverence, he paid tribute to his father, Bhima Bhattar, whose entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to integrity laid the foundation for the century-old legacy.“This is not just a celebration of a business milestone,” Dr. Govindan said, “but a testament to the enduring values that have guided us—trust, craftsmanship, and our deep-rooted connection with our customers. I express my deepest gratitude to the entire jewellery fraternity for their unwavering love and support throughout this journey.”

Industry veterans, peers, and admirers lauded Bhima Jewellery’s role in shaping India’s modern jewellery landscape while staying true to its traditional roots. The event was a blend of nostalgia and pride, underscoring how heritage brands like Bhima continue to inspire generations in a rapidly evolving industry.

The coffee table book, rich with archival photographs, design evolution, family anecdotes, and cultural context, now stands as a collector’s piece and a symbol of enduring legacy—celebrating not just 100 years of Bhima, but also a century of trust.

Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers Celebrates Jewellery as a Lifestyle with The Great Jewellery Festival

Month-long festival brings together diamond, gold and silver jewellery for everyday dressing, celebrations, gifting and special occasions

Published

Jewellery is increasingly becoming part of everyday life, moving beyond weddings and milestone occasions to find a place in everyday dressing, work, celebrations, gifting and personal expression. Reflecting this evolving relationship with jewellery, Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers (JGP) is bringing together a diverse range of diamond, gold and silver jewellery through its month-long The Great Jewellery Festival, being held from October 15 to November 15, 2026.

Rather than focusing on a single jewellery category or collection, the festival celebrates the breadth of jewellery available at JGP. From lightweight gold and real diamond pieces to statement designs and wedding jewellery, the festival brings together options suited to different occasions, styles and preferences.

The changing role of jewellery is also reflected in how consumers are making their choices. While weddings, festivals and family celebrations continue to be important occasions for jewellery purchases, consumers are increasingly looking for pieces that can complement their everyday wardrobe. Lightweight earrings, rings and other versatile designs can move seamlessly from work and casual occasions to festive gatherings, while more distinctive pieces can mark celebrations and personal milestones.

The festival will feature real diamond jewellery starting at ₹25,000 onwards and gold jewellery starting at ₹10,000 onwards, offering consumers an opportunity to explore fine jewellery across different styles and price points. The gold offering includes everyday pieces such as rings and earrings, alongside designs suited to more special occasions.

The festival brings together some of JGP’s established collections, each reflecting a different facet of the jewellery experience. Amalia, the brand’s real diamond jewellery collection, has emerged as a hot favourite among consumers, offering diamond pieces that combine elegance with contemporary appeal.


For weddings, Sanvi, one of JGP’s wedding jewellery collections, reflects the enduring appeal of traditional bridal jewellery, while Amrapali, a longstanding bestseller, celebrates the timeless importance of traditional and occasion-led jewellery.

You & Me adds silver jewellery to the portfolio, offering contemporary designs for those looking to express their individual style.


Together, these collections reflect the diverse ways in which consumers engage with jewellery today. A customer may choose a lightweight gold piece for regular wear, a real diamond design for a personal milestone, or traditional jewellery for a wedding or family celebration. The choice is increasingly shaped not only by the occasion, but also by individual taste, lifestyle and the versatility of the piece.

With The Great Jewellery Festival, JGP aims to celebrate this wider role of jewellery while bringing its diverse portfolio together under one platform. The festival builds on JGP’s longstanding heritage and credibility while responding to the evolving expectations of today’s jewellery consumer — from those looking for everyday pieces and contemporary designs to customers seeking wedding jewellery, diamonds and statement pieces for significant occasions.

Speaking about the festival, Sanika Pednekar, Creative Director at Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers, said, “

Jewellery today is no longer limited to a few big occasions. People are looking for pieces they can wear to work, for a celebration, as a gift or simply because they want to. With The Great Jewellery Festival, we wanted to bring that entire spectrum together and give customers the freedom to find jewellery that fits their occasion, style and personality.”
The Great Jewellery Festival will be held from October 15 to November 15, 2026, at Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers.
