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.

ANTISTATUS Redefines Statement Jewellery Through Individuality And Self-Expression
Built On Individuality, Rebellion and Self-Expression, ANTISTATUS Is Creating Its Mark In Statement Silver Jewellery and Lifestyle Space
ANTISTATUS is a statement jewellery and lifestyle platform built for individuals who refuse to be defined by convention. Driven by the philosophy “Defy the Norm,” the brand brings together bold design, dark aesthetics, gothic influences and an unapologetic character to create pieces that go beyond jewellery to become expressions of personal identity.



Drawing inspiration from biker culture, gothic aesthetics, music and contemporary street culture, ANTISTATUS features statement rings, pendants, necklaces, belt buckles, bracelets and distinctive silver jewellery. Each piece is handcrafted to carry character and meaning, encouraging people to develop their own visual language rather than follow prescribed trends.

Founded by Pallavi Singh and Manav Sethi, ANTISTATUS reflects a changing relationship between consumers and jewellery. As self-expression increasingly shapes purchasing choices, jewellery is evolving beyond traditional occasions and conventional markers of value. Consumers are building personal collections, layering pieces and experimenting with styles that reflect their individuality, wearing and styling them differently across occasions, times and settings.
Pallavi Singh, Co-founder, ANTISTATUS said:

“In today’s time, people are looking for more than just products; they are looking for brands that reflect who they are and what they stand for. Authenticity has always been central to how I build business, communities and culture. With ANTISTATUS, we want to create a premium brand experience that goes beyond what you wear to what you stand for a shared point of view rooted in individuality, self-expression and the confidence to be unapologetically yourself. At its heart, ANTISTATUS is about building a community that believes your identity is yours to define, not something society assigns to you.”
Manav Sethi, Co-founder, ANTISTATUS, adds:
“The jewellery industry is going through a structural shift. What people buy, why they buy it and how they evaluate value are all changing. Size and carat are increasingly being replaced by what a piece means to the wearer. Value has shifted towards meaning, design and craftsmanship, and enduring brands will be built around these elements. A select few brands will create the occasion rather than wait for one. Where owning one expensive set and wearing it over the years was once the norm, today’s consumers are looking for several pieces that can be layered, mixed and changed. These pieces become your story, your life.”

Originating in India, ANTISTATUS aspires to build a globally relevant statement jewellery and lifestyle brand, anchored in design, culture and community.
At its core, ANTISTATUS stands for a simple belief: your status is not assigned by society. It is defined by you.
