GJIIF is growing faster while holding its niche for South Indian Jewellery Markets with a year on year growth equating itself to few prominent jewellery shows of India by holding bigger and better shows every year. It is a great platform for the Indian jewellery market – right from the manufacturers, wholesalers who are dealing in jewellery suited for South markets and has gained prominence from the retailers to source the widest range of South Indian Jewellery Designs under one roof.

The latest and trendy jewellery designs caught the attention of the buyers who came with the mindset to purchase for the forthcoming season. They expressed their great happiness in finding a good range of jewellery to stock up just before the impending festive season.

“It was a delight to see such a wide range of jewellery collections specific to South Indian markets were displayed under one roof making our selection process very easy and efficient. We got to meet a lot of new vendors with very good craftsmanship and quotations which made us impulsive to place orders. We are looking forward to great returns with the stocks from this show.” Said Dharmendra Reddy, Director, Navratna Gold, Mangalore
