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.

Senco Gold & Diamonds Launches Mother’s Day Campaign Honouring The Many Facets Of Motherhood
Inspired By The Evolving Journey Of Motherhood, The Campaign Reflects How This Bond Transforms Across Time – Taking On Different Meanings, Roles, and Expressions At Every Stage Of Life. Moving Beyond A Singular Narrative, It Captures The Depth and Richness Of Relationships That Grow, Shift, and Endure.
This Mother’s Day, Senco Gold & Diamonds presents a heartfelt campaign celebrating the many facets of motherhood, acknowledging the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of a mother’s role.
Much like a diamond derives its brilliance from its many facets, motherhood too is layered and evolving – shifting seamlessly from nurturer and protector to guide, companion, friend, and anchor. Each phase adds depth, creating a relationship that is as multifaceted as it is enduring.
It stems from the belief that motherhood is not defined by a single role or moment, but by an ever-evolving bond shaped over time. From being a source of comfort and strength in the earliest years to becoming a companion and constant in later stages, this relationship continues to grow while remaining deeply rooted in connection and understanding. The campaign talks about how Motherhood is not defined by a single emotion or moment. Strength, protection, guidance, companionship, and emotional grounding come together to form a bond that is both deeply personal and universally understood.
Speaking on the campaign, Joita Sen, Director & Head of Marketing and Design, Senco Gold & Diamonds, said, “This campaign reflects how we see motherhood – layered, evolving, and deeply personal. It moves beyond a single definition to acknowledge the many roles, emotions, and phases that shape this bond over time. Much like a diamond, these facets come together to create something enduring, felt as much in quiet moments as in words.”
These facets are brought alive through six individuals, including two influencers and four consumers, each offering personal reflections that capture the evolving nature of maternal relationships across generations.

The campaign went live on May 1, 2026, across digital platforms, inviting audiences to reflect on and celebrate their own unique relationships with their mothers.
