GJIIF, which is timed to help the trade prepare for the forthcoming festive and wedding season, will begin with a Grand Inauguration by leading names from the Indian jewellery industry. There is strong support for the show among the industry, and nearly 15,000 visitors from across the region and key all-India centres are expected to participate.
The show will have over 350 exhibitors spread over 800 stalls covering a mammoth 2, 00,000 sq ft area.
Among the exhibitors are many of the renowned manufacturers and wholesalers, while all of India’s top jewellery chains, many with their corporate headquarters in the South, will also be among the buyers.
GJIIF is the ideal opportunity for retailers, big and small, to explore multiple new collections and place orders well in time for the festival and wedding season that follows a few weeks later.
Strong Support from Trade
GJIIF is being organised by two of the largest G&J trade associations in South India – the Jewellers and Diamond Traders Association, Madras (MJDTA) and Tamil Nadu Jewellers Federation (TNJF).
Additionally, it is supported by National Gems & Jewellery Council of India (NGJCI), Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), The A.P. Bullion Gold Silver & Diamond Merchants Association (APGSMA) and the All Kerala Gold & Silver Merchants Association (AKGSMA). The exhibition is managed by United Exhibitions, Chennai.
Leaders of all India trade bodies such as Pramod Agrawal (Chairman, NGJCI) and Prithviraj Kothari (National President, IBJA) among others have also shared messages of support to the show and urged jewellers from across the country to attend this 3-day jewellery extravaganza.
Wide Array of Designs
Every visitor to GJIIF will have the opportunity to view about 10, 00,000 designs: the widest array of products and choices in South Indian jewellery at one point.
The creations are in gold, silver and platinum; plain as well as studded jewellery with diamonds and coloured gemstones; traditional designs for weddings and festive occasions, and jewellery for daily wear. Suppliers of loose stones, pearls, precious metals and designers, gemmologists and machinery manufacturers too, also participate in large numbers.
Exhibitors include both established players and new entrants, due to which GJIIF been recognised as the ideal platform to view fresh collections based on new fashion trends, designs and colours that are expected to be popular during the forthcoming season. Alongside the traditional bestsellers there will also be more than a few potential path-breaking new trendsetters.
Unique Networking Opportunities
In addition to offering a platform for manufacturers and retailers to transact business, GJIIF also has a number of special events which add further value for participants.
Among the special programmes scheduled alongside the show are:
Shining Stars Awards and Networking Nite on Sept 29: An evening event where stalwarts and iconic brands will be felicitated and jewellers can interact.
India Lab-Grown Diamond Conclave on Sept 29: A special session on one of the new and rapidly growing product segments in jewellery.

GJIIF is a must-visit show for all members of our fraternity especially those who deal in these product segments.”

Raj Diamonds Launches Akshaya Tritiya Campaign Spotlighting “Ruby Splendour” and “Ancient Splendour”
Celebrating The Bride’s Journey Of Identity, Tradition, and Transformation
Marking the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, Raj Diamonds launches a new campaign bringing light to its signature high jewellery collections, Ruby Splendour and Ancient Splendour, a celebration of timeless design, cultural depth, and the evolving journey of a woman stepping into her new identity as a bride.
Akshaya Tritiya, long associated with prosperity and new beginnings, becomes a moment of quiet transformation. It is a time when a woman doesn’t just prepare for marriage, but begins to rediscover herself through rituals, traditions, and the emotional weight of heritage. In this transition, she is not merely adorned; she is shaped, refined, and redefined. The collections reflect this intimate journey. They are not just expressions of craftsmanship, but of becoming a bride.
Ruby Splendour captures the intensity of this transformation. With vivid rubies set alongside precisely crafted diamonds, each piece reflects the passion, strength, and boldness that define a bride stepping into the unknown. It is designed for a woman who embraces tradition, yet carries her individuality with quiet confidence, where every glance and movement feels intentional.
In contrast, Ancient Splendour draws from the richness of India’s cultural legacy. Inspired by heirloom aesthetics and time-honoured artistry, the collection evokes a sense of familiarity and timelessness, as though each piece has existed long before it was worn. It speaks to the bride who finds herself in tradition, cherishes its depth, and builds a deeper connection with her roots.
Through the visual storytelling of the latest photoshoot, this evolution unfolds with subtlety. The bride is seen not just wearing jewellery, but growing into it—absorbing its meaning, understanding its place, and ultimately making it her own. What emerges is a woman rediscovering herself in a new avatar, one that is both deeply rooted in culture and distinctly personal.
“At Raj Diamonds, jewellery is never just decorative; it is deeply emotional,” said Eshwar Surana, Managing Director, Raj Diamonds.
“With Ruby Splendour and Ancient Splendour, we wanted to capture the essence of a bride’s journey—her connection to culture, her sense of identity, and the quiet confidence with which she steps into a new chapter.”
Crafted through Raj Diamonds’ in-house manufacturing expertise, each piece balances intricate artistry with modern wearability. The collections reflect a larger shift in luxury, where meaning holds as much value as material, and where every piece carries a story waiting to be lived.
Through this expression, Raj Diamonds continues to redefine bridal jewellery not as a symbol of occasion alone, but as a reflection of transformation, identity, and enduring legacy, with 360° verified brilliance & a natural diamond promise.
The collections are now available across Raj Diamonds showrooms and through exclusive consultations.
