IIJS Premiere 2025 ends on a successful note; transforms GJ sector into a thriving, high-energy marketplace
Estimated that business worth between Rs. 70,000 crore -Rs. 90,000 crore was transacted during the six-day show
IIJS Premiere 2025 ended on a successful note, pumping positivity and enthusiasm into the GJ sector.A three-month sales drought was swept away by a flood of orders at IIJS Premiere 2025. In just two to three days, exhibitors turned a sluggish, no-buying season into a thriving, high-energy marketplace. It is estimated that business worth between Rs. 70,000 crore and Rs. 90,000 crore was transacted during the six-day show, beating its previous record by over 40% to 50%.
A massive buyer of 55,000 unique visitor footfalls, including 2,500 international buyers, led to record-breaking sales. Exhibitors reported full-house bookings across categories, with jewellery flying off the shelves from Day 1. The energy was electric, the demand unstoppable — proving once again that IIJS Premiere is where the industry comes to buy, not just browse.
The 41st edition of the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) Premiere 2025 got off to a spectacular start on 30th July at the Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC), Mumbai. Organised by GJEPC, the event was graced by Chief Guest Rahul Narwekar, Hon’ble Speaker of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, along with Guests of Honour Pavel Marinychev, CEO of Alrosa, and Ajoy Chawla, CEO – Jewellery Division, Titan Company Ltd. IIJS Premiere 2025 was inaugurated at Bombay Exhibition Centre – NESCO, Mumbai by Chief Guest Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister for Skill Development, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Govt of Maharashtra in the presence of Guest of Honour Abdul Salam, Vice Chairman, Malabar Group. Present at both the inaugurations were Kirit Bhansali, Chairman- GJEPC, Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC; Nirav Bhansali, Convener, National Exhibitions, GJEPC; and Sabyasachi Ray, Executive Director, GJEPC.
The grand inauguration ceremonies brought together industry stalwarts, government dignitaries, and international partners, signalling the beginning of what promises to be one of the most impactful trade shows of the year.
Packed aisles at both the venues – JWCC and BEC – prove that IIJS Premiere is the unrivalled show of the gem and jewellery industry.The Select Club returned with 118 exhibitors and a vivid curation of high-end jewellery — where bold design, coloured gems, and global sensibilities took centre stage.
Large carat gemstones and diamonds were the heroes of many pieces, while textures metals gained prominence. Gem-setting and custom-cut gemstones were another area that many exhibitors relied on, to support the narrative of the thematic collections. Other categories that were in vogue were two- and three-finger rings, designer ear cuffs, and palm cuffs, and of course, the trending labubu (toy monster elves) accessories in diamonds and gemstones.\
Exhibitors at IIJS Premiere have made a striking statement by unveiling 24-karat gold collections, right when much of the world is leaning towards lower-karat gold. This move reaffirms two things: first, gold’s status as a trusted store of value remains unshaken; and second, our exceptional manufacturers continue to read the consumer pulse with precision. Sky Gold and Diamonds , Shringar House of Mangalsutra Ltd., Kama Jewelry, Kanakratna Exim Pvt. Ltd launched 24k collections.
Fine jewellery embellished with a spectrum of gem hues was also trending; all their three categories – bridal, 18-karat gold oxidised gold collections, and an international line – were performing very well.
Silver, now often called the new gold, was priced at ₹1.20 lakh per kilo and drew strong demand at the show. Exhibitors reported exceptional interest in silver jewellery, accessories, and festive items, with many new companies and individuals exploring silver retail ventures. They emphasised the need for greater focus on silver and increased exhibition space at the IIJS Premier Show, as the current allocation limits its potential. Participants also noted growing demand from Tier II and Tier III towns, with buyers showing more trust in silver for gifting items, utility products, and home accessories. Due to limited booth space, only a small portion of available products could be displayed.
IIJS Premiere 2025 served as a platform for India’s jewellery sector to strengthen its global presence. GJEPC highlighted how new free trade agreements with countries like the UAE, Australia, and the UK are opening up new opportunities. Despite facing some challenges, such as new tariffs from the US, the IIJS Premiere 2025 demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of India’s gem and jewellery industry. The strong domestic demand and the proactive approach to global market expansion and sustainability indicate a positive outlook for the sector’s future.

Twin fairs bring together 4,000 exhibitors from 40+ countries, highlighting luxury brands, innovative gold technologies, antique treasures and emerging design talent.
The 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), opens today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and runs for five consecutive days until 8 March. It is held concurrently with the 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show which opened on Monday (2 March) at Asia World-Expo and concludes on 6 March. The two shows bring together some 4,000 exhibitors from over 40 countries and regions, forming the world’s largest one-stop jewellery marketplace.

Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “Alongside the expanded Hall of Fame, the show will feature the debut of the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion and the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Pavilion. Furthermore, Uzbekistan is participating for the first time with a delegation of 10 companies, showcasing a wide range of gold jewellery. Through diversified exhibit profiles, we aim to create more collaboration opportunities for the industry and reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a global jewellery trading hub.”
Kent Wong, Chairman of the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and the Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show Fair Organising Committee, said: “Hong Kong is an international trade and sourcing centre and our twin jewellery shows play a pivotal role. Continuing the successful ‘Two Shows, Two Venues’ format, the fairs attract global jewellery professionals for sourcing and networking, helping the industry capture the latest global market trends.”

International brands converge, key zones expand
At the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show, the Hall of Fame has expanded by over 40%, welcoming more renowned international jewellery brands. Among them, Turkish exhibitor Hosgor Kuyumculuk Mucevherat Ticaret Limited Sirketi (Booth: CEC 3B-D15) presents a 35.5-carat diamond necklace that combines exquisite craftsmanship with brilliant radiance. Another highlight is the Hall of Extraordinary, which features exhibitors such as Hong Kong’s Glamour Fine Jewelry Enterprise Company (Booth: CEC GH-C16), showcasing a bracelet featuring Colombian emeralds paired with diamonds and rubies in a radiant and luxurious style.

New pavilions highlight oriental aesthetics
With hard pure gold technologies gaining popularity in the Chinese Mainland, the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion (Booth: CEC 3E-F02) features 11 exhibitors organised by the World Gold Council. The pavilion showcases innovative techniques that produce harder, lighter and brighter gold pieces capable of setting a variety of gemstones. Also, the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Pavilion highlights crossover craftsmanship between jewellery setting and watchmaking.

The fairs also feature several events celebrating oriental aesthetics. Today, the Jewellers’ and Goldsmiths’ Association of Hong Kong Limited presented the awards for the Hong Kong International Fashion Chuk Kam Jewellery Design Competition. The competition encourages designers to create culturally rich and commercially viable gold jewellery for the ASEAN and the Middle East markets. Tomorrow (5 March) will see the awards presentation of the inaugural International Fei Cui Jewellery Design Competition, organised by the Hong Kong Jade Association, honouring designers who skilfully blend jadeite with global cultural elements.

Antique treasures and cutting-edge design
Antique jewellery remains highly sought-after by collectors and high-end customers for its historical value and craftsmanship. The Antique & Vintage Jewellery Galleria presents an array of rare pieces, including a bi-colour enamel diamond piece from World Coins Co., Ltd. (Booth: CEC CH-N12), with a history spanning over a century.
Design pieces are equally captivating, the Designer Galleria welcomes 10 Korean designers this year. Together with the Young Jewellery Designer Arena, participated by the Asia Pacific Creator Association and the Asia Jewelry Culture Design and Crafts Association, about 50 designer exhibitors will showcase their diverse creativities in the fairground.

The HKTDC continues to nurture local talents in the jewellery industry. In partnership with the Jewellers’ and Goldsmiths’ Association of Hong Kong Limited, Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers’ Association, and Diamond Federation of Hong Kong, the 27th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition returns under the theme “Pure Elegance – Natural Beauty”, offering a stage for local professional designers and students. The awards ceremony will be held tomorrow (5 March) at the HKCEC, with winning pieces on display to demonstrate innovative design.

E-commerce and technology empower industry growth
To help exhibitors expand into the Chinese Mainland market and develop their online sales channels, the fairs continue the collaboration with Taobao Tmall. For the first time, the fairs also welcome Douyin, partnering with influencers and KOLs for on-site live streaming to promote exhibitors’ products. On 7 March, a seminar will feature experts discussing the latest online marketing trends and tactics.
Another seminar on 5 March will explore how AI and new technologies enhance competitiveness, optimise production, and drive product innovation in the jewellery industry.
Engaging events to connect and inspire
A diverse lineup of events will be held to foster industry dialogue. These include a seminar by Dr. Jack Ogden, a distinguished British historian and jewellery authority, who will analyse the evolution of jewellery craftsmanship and changing aesthetic tastes throughout history. The jewellery parades will highlight themes such as intangible cultural heritage jewellery, curated selections from the Antique & Vintage Jewellery Galleria, as well as highlights from the Hall of Extraordinary, Designer Galleria, and gold jewellery.
