IIJS a Premiere 2023 could see upto 50,000 visitors in attendance
The response to IIJS Premiere has been nothing short of phenomenal. In the first phase alone, over 30,000 visitors and 15,000 companies have registered, surpassing expectations. This tremendous response demonstrates the industry’s support for the dual venue arrangement and highlights the growing significance of IIJS Premiere.This number may go up to 50,000 visitors and 25,000 companies as we approach the date.”
While the majority of visitors are from the local market, IIJS serves as a vital sourcing platform for jewellers catering to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) worldwide. The show attracts a significant number of NRI jewellers, ensuring its international stature.
Last year, the show generated business worth ₹50,000 crore, and with the current trend of increased visitor footfalls, a 30% to 40% growth in business is anticipated. Stable gold prices, robust economic growth in India and surrounding regions, and positive market conditions add to the optimism.

CVD Synthetic Fashioned To Imitate A Rough Natural Diamond
The Near-Colorless Stone Is Believed To Be The First Time Creators Of A Synthetic Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Diamond Have Shaped It To Resemble A Rough Diamond
The 6.87-carat near-colorless CVD diamond was shaped to resemble a natural rough octahedral crystal but showed distinct synthetic features under microscopic and spectroscopic analysis.GIA’s tests confirmed the stone’s synthetic origin, noting polishing marks, facet junction roughness, and luminescence patterns inconsistent with natural diamonds.
No evidence currently suggests widespread substitution of synthetics for rough natural diamonds, but existing detection tools could be adapted if such cases increase.
The near-colorless stone is believed to be the first time creators of a synthetic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond have shaped it to resemble a rough diamond, according to an article in the spring issue of the institute’s Gems & Gemology quarterly journal.
Upon investigation with the use of raman spectroscopy, the results confirmed that the material was a diamond, with its near-octahedral shape similar to that of a natural rough crystal. Further analysis showed that it was not a true octahedron, as only one set of opposing faces was parallel. Microscopic observation under differential interference contrast revealed extremely flat faces marked mainly by parallel polishing lines, unlike the growth steps and trigons typically seen on natural octahedral faces. The facet junctions were extremely rough, possibly due to measures taken to improve the color, after which the main faces appear to have been repolished, the institute explained.
