DGFT Summit Explores E-commerce’s Role in Boosting Gem & Jewellery Export Potential
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) hosted an E-commerce Export Summit at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, on 11th March, gathering industry leaders to explore the growing potential of e-commerce in enhancing retail exports. Mr. Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director of GJEPC, delivered a keynote presentation on ‘Enhancing Retail Exports through E-commerce.’
In his opening remarks, Mr. Ray emphasized the critical role of e-commerce platforms in driving growth for the gem and jewellery sector. He noted that e-commerce is particularly well-suited to this industry due to the low volume and high value of its products, making it ideal for cross-border trade. He expressed confidence that businesses in the sector will see substantial growth in the near future, driven by the accessibility and scalability of e-commerce.
Mr. Ray also provided insights into recent foreign trade policy reforms introduced by the Government of India. These regulatory changes have significantly eased e-commerce exports, contributing to the sector’s remarkable growth. Currently, India’s gem and jewellery exports total $38 billion, with projections aiming for $100 billion by 2047, largely fueled by the expanding e-commerce landscape.
He advised exporters to focus on identifying key product markets and understanding consumer preferences to secure repeat business. Additionally, he highlighted the recent partnerships formed by the GJEPC with major e-commerce platforms like eBay, Amazon, and DHL, aiming to provide a seamless export experience for its members.

QWEEN Becomes India’s First Jewellery Brand To Introduce 7 Colours Of Gold
The Brand Challenges The Conventional Three-Colour Palette, Giving Consumers Seven Distinct Colours Of Gold To Choose From.
QWEEN, India’s first self-discovery, 100% natural experiential luxury jewellery brand, has introduced 7 Colours of Gold, becoming the first jewellery brand in India to offer seven distinct gold colours to consumers. The offering brings together material innovation and craftsmanship to give consumers greater choice in expressing themselves through gold jewellery, expanding the conventional three-colour palette available in the country.
While coloured gold in the market is often created by changing the appearance of gold through rhodium plating or other surface treatments, QWEEN takes a fundamentally different approach. Each colour is created through carefully developed gold alloy compositions, so the colour comes from the gold itself, not from a coating on top of it.
QWEEN’s 7 Colours of Gold comprise Snowfall White, Cloudy Grey, Clover Green, Rose Bloom, Champagne Fizz, Desert Noon, and 24K Sunrise. Designed around the wearer’s individuality, the offering allows consumers to choose jewellery that complements their mood, skin tone, wardrobe, personality and lifestyle, making each piece feel deeply personal.
Seven colours is only the beginning. QWEEN moves beyond the traditional three-colour palette to make gold more personal and customisable, allowing consumers to choose their own gold colour across designs, while contemporary pieces bring multiple colours of gold together in unique combinations. The idea is simple: gold no longer has to come in one colour, or even one combination.
Amit Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO, QWEEN said:

“Gold has always been deeply emotional in India. It marks our milestones, carries memories and often becomes part of the stories we hold on to. At QWEEN, we believe something this personal should also leave room for self-discovery and self-expression. A woman is never just one version of herself; she has 20,000 shades. With 7 Colours of Gold, we wanted to give her more ways to express them, by reimagining not just how gold is worn, but what gold itself can look like.”
To showcase the offering, QWEEN has unveiled an innovative billboard featuring seven signature Apostrophe design rings, each in a distinct colour of gold, alongside the line, “Old is Gold. But Gold isn’t Old anymore.” The billboard’s lights switch on one by one, illuminating each colour in sequence and bringing the full seven-colour palette to life.
Consumers can explore the 7 Colours of Gold at QWEEN’s store at Aditya Ancora, Sector 50, Noida, where the experiential retail setting allows them to discover jewellery at their own pace.
