IGJS Jaipur 2025 bolsters global connections amidst mounting trade challenges
Against a backdrop of mounting trade challenges, India’s gem and jewellery exporters gathered in Jaipur for the International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS) 2025, an exclusive export-focused event organized by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). Held from April 3 to 5, the show drew 50 of India’s leading exporters and more than 180 international buyers from 28 countries, reinforcing Jaipur’s status as a pivotal hub in the global jewellery trade.
The show, hosted at the Novotel Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre, spotlighted the city’s long-standing reputation for integrated craftsmanship — where stone-cutting and jewellery manufacturing coexist within the same business ecosystem. For many international buyers, this “one-stop-shop” model remains a key draw.
Still, the atmosphere wasn’t without tension. The recent imposition of U.S. tariffs — ranging between 26% and 27% on Indian jewellery exports — loomed large over business discussions. Exporters expressed concern over the long-term implications for price-sensitive markets like the United States, which has traditionally been a top destination for Indian jewellery.
“Tariffs were the biggest talking point on the floor,” said one Jaipur-based exporter. “We’re now discussing cost-sharing models with our U.S. partners, looking to absorb the blow across the supply chain — from exporters to retailers to end consumers.”
Repeat buyers remained a bright spot, with several exhibitors reporting continued interest and steady orders from long-standing clients. But many acknowledged a pressing need to attract larger retail chain buyers, particularly as global trade routes shift.
In response to the evolving trade landscape, exporters are eyeing alternative markets such as Dubai and Saudi Arabia, regions with strong demand and more favorable trade terms. Industry stakeholders also pointed to the India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) as a promising channel for diversifying export destinations.
Despite challenges, the sentiment remained broadly optimistic. The GJEPC announced plans to significantly scale the show in 2026, targeting over 500 global buyers and more than 150 exhibitors, a move intended to elevate the show’s global standing and deepen its influence in the international marketplace.
At its core, IGJS Jaipur 2025 underscored themes of resilience, adaptability, and strategic collaboration — with industry players focused on navigating shifting trade dynamics while continuing to showcase the strength of Indian craftsmanship.

Mavitrra Launches Ganpati-Inspired Fine Jewellery Collection For Ganesh Chaturthi, Blending Tradition With Contemporary Design
Where Devotion, Symbolism and Modern Craftsmanship Come Together In Jewellery Designed For Festive Celebrations
Mavitrra, the bespoke diamond jewellery brand known for its refined craftsmanship and design-led philosophy, has launched its Ganpati-inspired fine jewellery collection on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, bringing the timeless symbolism of Lord Ganesha into a contemporary fine jewellery language.
Celebrating Lord Ganesha as a symbol of wisdom, prosperity, auspicious beginnings and the removal of obstacles, the collection interprets the deity through sculptural forms, intricate goldwork and precious diamond and gemstone detailing. The edit features statement bangles, earrings and necklaces, designed to complement the festive season while remaining sophisticated and versatile beyond the occasion.
At the heart of the collection are distinctive Ganpati-inspired motifs, ranging from sculptural representations of Ganesha to more abstract interpretations of the deity’s iconic features. One of the standout designs is a statement bangle featuring a sculptural Ganpati face, emerald ears, a ruby tilak and pavé-diamond detailing, bringing together traditional symbolism and contemporary jewellery design.



Another design explores the form of the Ganpati trunk and lotus through an abstract interpretation, while a more minimal Ganpati profile is framed within a diamond halo, offering a refined expression of devotion for those who prefer understated jewellery.
The collection further explores the architectural and artistic language associated with Indian temples. Woven gold bands, pavé edges, ruby and emerald accents, and contemporary openwork inspired by temple arches add depth and dimension to the designs. The pieces are created to feel celebratory without being overly traditional, allowing the symbolism of Ganpati to become an elegant part of a modern jewellery wardrobe.
The collection’s bangles, earrings and necklaces are designed across different levels of expression from statement pieces created for festive occasions to more subtle silhouettes that can be styled with contemporary and traditional ensembles alike. Diamonds provide the signature brilliance of the collection, while emeralds and rubies introduce rich colour and a distinctly festive character.
Speaking about the collection, Bindu Sharma, Founder & Creative Director, Mavitrra, said:

“Ganesh Chaturthi is deeply rooted in the ideas of new beginnings, prosperity and seeking blessings for the journey ahead. We wanted to translate these emotions into jewellery in a way that feels relevant to the modern wearer. Instead of simply recreating traditional Ganpati motifs, we explored the deity through sculptural forms and contemporary silhouettes . She further added, Every element, from the emerald and ruby accents to the diamond detailing and architectural forms, has been designed to retain the spiritual significance of Ganesha while giving it a distinctive Mavitrra identity.”
With the collection, Mavitrra continues its approach of bringing together spiritual inspiration, individuality and contemporary luxury. The Ganesh Chaturthi edit is designed not only as festive jewellery, but as a celebration of faith, craftsmanship and the auspicious beginnings that Lord Ganesha represents.
