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.

Rihanna Rewrites the Jewellery Rulebook at Fenty Beauty’s India Debut
In Mumbai, the global icon ditches matchy sets for a bold, curated mix of Indian heritage and high-fashion statements.
When Rihanna arrived in Mumbai for the India launch of Fenty Beauty, she didn’t just make an appearance—she staged a masterclass in modern styling.
The 38-year-old global icon moved seamlessly between two distinct looks across the day, each carrying its own mood and message. For the official launch, she leaned into a soft, feminine aesthetic with a monochrome olive-green ensemble. By night, she pivoted sharply, stepping out in a sleek black dress that dialled up the glamour and edge.
But it wasn’t just the wardrobe changes that caught attention—it was the jewellery. Rihanna skipped the traditional route of wearing a coordinated set and instead curated a layered narrative using pieces from some of India’s most storied and contemporary design houses.
Earrings by Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas:
Her earrings, by Birdhichand Ghanshyamdas, brought a sense of classic regality—rooted, timeless, and quietly commanding. Acting as the anchor, they carried the weight of heritage without overwhelming the look.
Bangles & Rings by Sabyasachi:
On her hands, the interplay continued. Bangles and rings from Sabyasachi Jewellery added a textured, expressive dimension. Studded with tourmalines and layered with intent, these pieces leaned into expressive luxury—bold, unapologetic, and full of personality.
Haath Phool by Manish Malhotra High Jewellery:
Then came the twist: a haath phool by Manish Malhotra High Jewellery. Fluid and slightly theatrical, the piece blended Polki diamonds and rose cuts, introducing a couture sensibility that softened the traditional undertones while adding editorial drama.
Three distinct design languages. One cohesive story.
What Rihanna demonstrated in Mumbai goes beyond styling—it signals a shift. Jewellery is no longer about perfectly matched suites; that idea feels increasingly dated. Instead, the focus is on curation—on creating tension and harmony at the same time. Heritage meets couture. Structure meets fluidity. Maximalism finds balance.
Each piece she wore stood confidently on its own. Yet together, they spoke a single, unified language.
In breaking the “set rule,” Rihanna didn’t just experiment—she redefined. The message is clear: modern jewellery styling isn’t about coordination anymore. It’s about identity.
