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.

Closing the Global Technology Gap
Historically, Italian and German engineering set the gold standard for jewellery machinery. However, JMAIIE 2026 proved that the gap is rapidly narrowing. By empowering MSME players to adopt high-precision technology, the expo has become a primary engine for the “Make in India” initiative.
Key Highlights of the 5th Edition:

- Global Participation: Over 50 direct international exhibitors participated from high-tech hubs including Italy, Germany, Turkey, China, the USA, and Japan.
- Economic Impact: The floor saw a high volume of quality visitors and serious buyers, resulting in significant firm orders and high-value transactions.

Kranti Nagvekar Founder, KNC Services was emphatic over the success of the show, she said, “ JMAIIE was a constructive event, critical for jewellery manufacturing hub like India. W e are seeing technology at par with international players, and cost effective. It is heartening to see Indian jewellery machinery exported to GCC, Africa and other regions globally.”
The “Make in India” Momentum
JMAIIE 2026 served as a definitive platform for technology integration and market expansion. The consensus among international attendees was clear: Indian machinery has achieved global standards of quality and is now being actively integrated into international manufacturing lines.
JMAIIE is proudly powered by the JMA Forum and organized by KNC Services. As the curtains close on this edition, the message is resonant: India is no longer just following global benchmarks—it is setting them.
