Dr. K. Srikar Reddy Hosted by GJEPC at India Pavilion During JCK Las Vegas 2025
The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) welcomed Dr. K. Srikar Reddy, Consul General of India, San Francisco, to the India Pavilion at JCK Las Vegas 2025 — North America’s premier jewellery trade event
Dr. Reddy was received by Kirit Bhansali, Chairman of GJEPC. Also in attendance were Dnyaneshwar Patil, IAS, Development Commissioner of SEEPZ; Dr. Gaetano Cavalieri, President of CIBJO; and Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director of GJEPC, among other dignitaries and industry stakeholders.
The India Pavilion at JCK 2025 is a showcase of the country’s finest craftsmanship, design, and innovation, featuring 30 prominent exhibitors across key segments such as Passport, Diamond Plaza, Lab-Grown Diamond, Gemstone, and Currents. The display highlights India’s comprehensive capabilities — from natural and lab-grown diamonds to coloured gemstones and contemporary jewellery.
Complementing the Pavilion are two key initiatives led by GJEPC: the curated India Design Gallery, which celebrates cutting-edge design talent, and the India Experience Lounge, offering an immersive cultural and business engagement zone.
The visit by senior officials and diplomats adds significant momentum to India’s mission of strengthening its position as a global leader in the gem and jewellery industry. It also provides a morale boost to participating exporters and reaffirms the government’s commitment to supporting Indian businesses on the world stage.

2026 Couture Design Awards: A Celebration Of Creativity, Ingenuity
A Premier Gathering Dedicated To Independent Jewelry Designers
The 2026 Couture Design Awards, held Saturday evening at the Encore Theater, Las Vegas once again highlighted the industry’s creative achievements. The Awards was a gala celebration of creativity, ingenuity, and the distinct points of view that define the COUTURE community. Winners were met with enthusiastic applause from attendees, who celebrated both the accomplishments of the recipients and the work of their peers.
The Couture Show has accomplished something that no other trade event achieved: creating a premier gathering dedicated to independent jewelry designers. For more than 25 years, the show has attracted designers and artists from across the United States and around the world while expanding to include internationally recognized jewelry brands, both independent and corporate-owned.
With awards presented across 12 categories and determined by a distinguished panel of judges, the Editors’ Choice Award selected by attending media, and the People’s Choice finalists chosen by attending retailers, the work of a diverse roster of talent was celebrated before an enthusiastic crowd at the Encore Theater. The evening also paid tribute to two women whose contributions helped shape Couture’s culture and its mission: Cindy Edelstein, a longtime advocate for jewelry designers, and Jan Mohr, a driving force behind the show since its inception.
