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.

Palmonas Celebrates Its 101st Store, Marking A Journey Built On Trust, Community and A New Way Of Experiencing Jewellery
Palmonas, the brand that made modern-looking jewellery a part of everyday style, has reached a significant milestone with the opening of its 101st store, marking another chapter in its journey of making jewellery more accessible.
From its first store in Pune in 2022 to 101 stores across India, Palmonas’ journey began with a simple thought. Jewellery should feel special, without having to be saved for a special occasion. The Demi-Fine® collection was created to bridge this gap, combining thoughtful design, everyday wearability, and affordable pricing.
Today, the brand’s growth extends beyond its retail footprint. Palmonas has also built a community of over 1 million followers on Instagram, reflecting the growing connection it has created with its audience across India. The 101st store marks not just a retail milestone, but a journey shaped by the people who have been part of the brand’s growth.
Speaking on the milestone, Pallavi Mohadikar, CEO & Founder, Palmonas, said,

“Reaching 101 stores is a very special moment for me. When I started Palmonas, I had a simple vision of changing the way people experience jewellery. Today, that vision has grown into 101 stores and over a million people following our journey on Instagram. For us, 101 is a stepping stone towards our next milestone of 2,000 stores. We’re excited for what comes next.”
With its growing retail network and digital community, Palmonas continues to expand its presence across India, bringing its jewellery closer to customers and creating spaces where they can discover and experience the brand.
As Palmonas looks ahead, it remains focused on continuing to make thoughtfully designed jewellery more accessible while growing a community that feels connected to the brand and its journey.
