The primary focus of the meeting was to address the ongoing challenges faced in the export and import clearance process, particularly the daily operational hurdles encountered during parcel clearance with customs officials.

The meeting provided a platform for participants to engage in open dialogue and share the various difficulties they face while managing customs procedures. These included issues related to the timeliness of clearance, paperwork discrepancies, communication gaps, and other operational bottlenecks that often delay the smooth transit of goods. The participants discussed these challenges in detail, aiming to identify practical solutions to streamline the entire process.

In response to the discussions, GJEPC has requested all involved stakeholders to compile and submit a comprehensive report outlining the specific challenges faced in customs clearance, as well as providing suggestions for potential system improvements. These reports are expected to play a crucial role in identifying areas that require attention and in formulating effective solutions that will enhance the overall efficiency of the customs operations.

GJEPC aims to use these insights to work closely with the relevant authorities and stakeholders to improve the integration process, ensuring a more seamless experience for businesses involved in the import and export of precious cargo. The initiative is expected to contribute significantly to reducing delays, improving transparency, and boosting the overall efficiency of the jewellery trade’s customs clearance procedures.

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.

Published

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.
