The All India Gem & Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) successfully organized its flagship knowledge-sharing event this week, the Labham Seminar, at Hotel Raj Palace in Ahilyanagar. This was the first-ever Labham Seminar held in Ahilyanagar, conducted in collaboration with the Gold Jewellers Council – Ahilyanagar, a prestigious association dedicated to the growth and prosperity of the local jewellery trade.
This 181st edition of the Labham Seminar was conducted under the DD-WGC Labham series and witnessed the participation of over 100 jewellers. The seminar aimed to strengthen awareness of business knowledge, legal compliance, and ethical trade practices. Key speakers at the event included GJC Chairman Rajesh Rokde, Vice Chairman Avinash Gupta, Vardhaman Kothari, former Chairman Nitin Khandelwal, and legal advisor Bhavin Mehta, who addressed crucial topics such as legal guidelines, compliance policies, and business growth strategies.
During the seminar, insights were also shared about the upcoming India Gem & Jewellery Show (GJS) and GJS Jewellers Meet. The prestigious B2B jewellery trade show is set to take place from 4th to 7th April 2025 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.

Scheduled 26 days before Akshaya Tritiya and just ahead of the upcoming wedding season, this show presents a golden opportunity for retailers and buyers to stock up their inventory. With 20,000+ visitors and 2,000 hosted buyers expected, GJS is set to become a leading sourcing platform for India’s jewellery traders.

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.
