IIJS Signature 2023 Extended To 5-Day Show
Mumbai, 13th September: The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) announces that IIJS Signature 2023 has been extended to a five-day show format owing to the popular demand from participants and the gem & jewellery trade at large.
IIJS Signature will be almost double in size compared with IIJS Signature 2022, with more than 2500 stalls and it is estimated that more than 1300 exhibitors will participate. The largest ever IIJS Signature show to date, spread over an area more than 65,000 sq m, will now be held from 5th to 9th January, 2023 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai. The show is expected to draw an estimated 32000+ visitors.
Nirav Bhansali, Convener, National Exhibitions Sub-committee, GJEPC, explained, “The magnitude of the upcoming IIJS Signature show will be similar to that of IIJS Premiere 2022. The astonishing success of the August show has created a ripple effect in terms of demand that is expected to last until IIJS Signature. We had been receiving requests to extend IIJS Signature by one day as the four-day format was limiting the visitors’ ability to cover the entire show floor.”
The show is extended by another day making it a 5-Day show similar to the duration of IIJS Premiere, with no additional participation cost to the exhibitors for the extension to facilitate participation from small exhibitors.
The different product sections of IIJS Signature 2023 will include Gold & Gold CZ Studded Jewellery; Diamond, Gemstone & Other Studded Jewellery; Loose stones, Lab-grown diamonds; Silver Jewellery, Artefacts & Gifting Items; Laboratories & Education; and Machinery & Allied.The Combo Space Application form for the two shows, IIJS Signature 2023 and IIJS Tritiya 2023, is already LIVE and the Registration ends on 15th September, 2022.

Isha Ambani Turns Heads At Met Gala 2026 With Heirloom Diamonds and A Celebration Of Indian Craftsmanship
Her 200-Carat Diamond Necklace and Intricately Crafted Couture Looks Redefine Red Carpet Glamour With Art, Heritage, and Statement Jewellery At The Met Gala 2026.
Day 1 – A Tribute to India in 26 States
Isha Ambani began her Met Gala 2026 appearances with a look that celebrated the diversity of India’s 26 states, turning the red carpet into a canvas of cultural storytelling. Her ensemble brought together elements inspired by regional textiles, crafts, and traditional artistry, reflecting the richness and unity of Indian heritage. Each detail was thoughtfully curated to represent different parts of the country, making the look not just fashion-forward but deeply symbolic. The styling highlighted intricate craftsmanship, vibrant textiles, and cultural motifs, setting the tone for her presence at this year’s theme, “Fashion is Art.”
Day 2- Jewellery Spotlight
Isha Ambani made a powerful statement at the 2026 Met Gala, marking her sixth appearance at fashion’s biggest night. Embracing the theme “Fashion is Art,” she delivered what is arguably her most extraordinary look to date—an ode to Indian heritage, craftsmanship, and couture at its finest.
At the heart of Isha Ambani’s ensemble was a breathtaking heirloom necklace from Nita Ambani’s personal collection. Featuring old-cut diamonds accumulated over the years, the piece totalled over 200 carats and was anchored by a striking 50-carat emerald at its centre. The jewellery not only elevated the look but also added a layer of legacy and timeless elegance, making it one of the most talked-about diamond moments on the red carpet.
The Look
Complementing the jewels was a custom couture saree by Gaurav Gupta, styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania. More than just attire, the saree was a work of art—crafted over 1,200 hours by more than 50 artisans. It featured hand-woven pure gold threads, pichwai-inspired hand-painted motifs, and intricate layers of Zardozi, Aari, and relief embroidery, drawing inspiration from ancient Indian frescoes. Adding a contemporary artistic touch, she carried a mango-shaped sculptural bag by Subodh Gupta, tying the look back to the evening’s theme.
From heirloom diamonds to couture craftsmanship, Isha Ambani’s Met Gala 2026 appearance was a seamless blend of jewellery, art, and heritage—setting a new benchmark for red carpet excellence while celebrating India’s rich cultural legacy on a global stage.
