GJEPC Collaborates with Delhi Customs to Streamline Jewellery Export via Personal Carriage
Follow-up meeting focuses on refining SOPs under Circular No. 09/25 – Customs to ease export processes through Delhi’s Precious Cargo Warehouse
On 15 April, a delegation from the GJEPC Northern Regional Office met with senior officials of Delhi Customs to further refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the import and export of jewellery via personal carriage. This discussion followed an initial meeting held on 9 April and focused on the implementation of Circular No. 09/25 – Customs, dated 28 April 2025, with the goal of issuing a comprehensive public notice for the trade.
Key customs officials present included Mr. Dheeraj Rastogi, IRS, Principal Commissioner – Exports; Ms. Ashima Bansal, IRS, Commissioner – ACC Export; Mr. Vishal Pal Singh, IRS, Commissioner – Airport; Mr. Dibyalok Singh, IRS, Deputy Commissioner – ACC Shed; and Mr. Anuj Kumar Pandey, IRS, Additional Deputy Commissioner – Airport. Representing the GJEPC were Mr. Antarpal Singh Sawhney, Regional Chairman – North, and Mr. Anil Sankhwal, Convener, Studded Jewellery Panel.
The meeting primarily addressed ways to optimise the draft SOPs for hand-carried jewellery exports through the Precious Cargo Warehouse (PCW) operated by Celebi at Delhi Airport. GJEPC representatives proposed practical solutions to remove procedural bottlenecks and speed up customs clearance. Among their key requests was the establishment of a dedicated detention room for appraised parcels within the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) cargo shed to reduce delays and improve exporter convenience.
Customs officials, led by Mr. Rastogi, responded positively to the recommendations and assured the delegation of due consideration. They also advised GJEPC to initiate discussions with CWC for space allocation to implement the suggested changes effectively.

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.
