Gem & Jewellery BSM 2025 :Fruitful partnerships and meaningful dialogue
GJEPCs Gem & Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet 2025 commenced with an air of optimism and global camaraderie, setting the stage for fruitful partnerships and meaningful dialogue between Indian manufacturers and international buyers.
The event was inaugurated with a grand unveiling, paving the way for over 40 international buyers to engage in curated one-on-one business meetings with Indian jewellery manufacturers and exporters. The venue buzzed with activity as new connections were forged and long-standing business relationships were rekindled.
Among the notable international buyers. Lisi Fracchia from Spain, visiting India for the first time, expressed her delight at the overwhelming business prospects. Her experience at the BSM not only introduced her to new business avenues but also gave her the opportunity to reconnect with existing suppliers participating in the show.
Cloyette Harris Stoute, representing Alliyette, USA, is also making her maiden visit to India. Her objective of understanding India’s advanced jewellery manufacturing technology and the comprehensive supply chain process was met with great satisfaction. Deeply impressed by her interactions with exhibitors, she shared her enthusiasm about returning in the future.
On the domestic front, Hitesh Thakar, General Manager at Mohit Diamond Pvt. Ltd, reflected on the invaluable insights gained during his meetings. He noted that conversations with buyers revealed their strategic focus on brand expansion, opening up new opportunities for his company to scale their business and adapt to evolving global demand.
Priyank Shah of Walking Tree, participating as a first-time exhibitor, commended the event’s structured format. The carefully filtered buyer group enabled targeted interactions, resulting in serious inquiries from markets such as the USA, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and beyond—particularly for custom-made jewellery.
The first day concluded on a high note, with an atmosphere rich in collaboration and discovery. The meet not only reflected the strength of India’s jewellery sector but also its growing global appeal.

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
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.
