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.

GJEPC Webinar Maps Opportunities For Indian Exporters In France

France Was India’s 11th Largest Gem and Jewellery Export Destination In FY2025-26

Published

on

GJEPC organised a webinar on the French gem and jewellery market under its Global Gem & Jewellery Market Insights Series, offering 61 participating exporters practical insights into one of Europe’s key luxury markets.

The session held on 24th June highlighted that France was India’s 11th largest gem and jewellery export destination in FY2025-26, with bilateral trade of $419 million. However, India’s market share stands at just 3.7%, leaving a large, untapped opportunity. Speakers also noted that the proposed India-EU FTA could further improve market access.

The webinar featured Sophie Carreras, Buyer and Co-Director of Victorienne, Italy, and Aurore Michaud, Account Manager at BIJORHCA, WSN. They advised Indian manufacturers to adapt designs to European tastes while leveraging India’s craftsmanship, maintain competitive pricing and view trade shows as platforms for building long-term business relationships rather than seeking immediate orders.

The speakers also highlighted BIJORHCA Paris, Europe’s leading jewellery trade exhibition, as an important gateway for Indian companies to connect with European buyers, either by showcasing their own collections or their manufacturing capabilities.

The webinar covered practical aspects of exporting to France, including exhibition logistics, documentation requirements, product positioning, hallmarking, and buyer expectations. The speakers also discussed demand for gold-plated jewellery, brass jewellery, gemstone-studded collections, silver jewellery and the emerging market for lab-grown diamond jewellery.
