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.

Mahesh Notandass Jewellers & Vandals Join Sotheby’s and Somya Khurana For An Evening Of Mindful Living and Exceptional Diamonds In The Swiss Alps

An Exclusive Alpine Gathering Brings Together Mindful Living, Conscious Reflection and Extraordinary Jewellery Artistry, Featuring A Spectacular Emerald and Diamond Glove and A Statement Scarf Adorned With Hundreds Of Natural Emeralds and Diamonds

Sotheby’s Switzerland, wellness curator Somya Khurana, Mahesh Notandass Jewellers and Vandals come together this season for a one-of-a-kind evening that pairs conscious living with uncompromising craftsmanship. This is an evening of mindful reflection, followed by an exclusive presentation of Mahesh Notandass & Vandals’ most extraordinary jewellery, including a glove made of emeralds and diamonds.

Hosted against the calming backdrop of the Col de la Croix mountain pass, the gathering will unfold at the storied Chalet Roy Alps Domaine de Rochegrosse, in the alpine resort town of Villars-sur-Ollon, a setting chosen deliberately for its stillness, its altitude, and its distance from the noise of the everyday. The evening begins with a curated wellbeing experience helmed by Somya Khurana, centred on mindfulness and conscious reflection, an invitation for guests to arrive fully present before the evening centrepiece is revealed.

For over a century, Mahesh Notandass Diamond Jewellers has been synonymous with rare stones, master craftsmanship and design that transcends trend; jewellery built not merely to be worn, but to be inherited. This exclusive presentation will showcase an edit of Mahesh Notandas and Vandals’ finest creations, offering guests a rare, private encounter with pieces that represent the pinnacle of the house’s artistry: exceptional precious stones set with the precision that has defined the Notandass name across generations.

Among the highlights of the evening are two exceptional jewellery artworks, a sculptural emerald and diamond glove featuring over 600 emeralds, and an intricately crafted scarf adorned with more than 300 natural emeralds and over 1,300 diamonds. Conceived as works of wearable art, both pieces reflect the house’s pursuit of scale, craftsmanship and extraordinary use of precious stones, blurring the line between jewellery and collectible art.

Hosted in partnership with Sotheby’s Switzerland, the evening reflects a shared philosophy across all three collaborators that true luxury is not loud. It is considered and felt before it is seen. Bringing together mindful living and fine craftsmanship in one setting, the evening positions House of Notandass at the intersection of substance and sophistication, in a location as rarefied as the jewels themselves.
