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.

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.

Spotted: Gauri Spratt Wearing a Rare Aquamarine Ring Gifted by Aamir Khan

A bespoke creation by QWEEN, the aquamarine and ruby rings—commissioned by Aamir Khan for Gauri Spratt—blend rarity, symbolism, and over 1,000 hours of craftsmanship to capture the duality of love.

Ahead of its official launch this May, QWEEN has already found its very first customer, Aamir Khan. The actor and filmmaker recently commissioned two bespoke rings for Gauri Spratt, custom-crafted by QWEEN, India’s first self-discovery, 100% natural, experiential luxury jewellery brand, backed by Rosy Blue and Kashikey.

Aamir Khan has also come on board as a strategic investor in QWEEN, making it both a personal gesture and a reflection of his belief in the brand. While celebrities often invest in brands or lend their names to them, it is far rarer for that investment to translate into personally purchasing from the brand for such an intimate moment, a gesture that signals Aamir’s genuine faith in QWEEN and its creations.

When Gauri Spratt was recently spotted wearing a striking aquamarine ring, the luminous ocean-blue gemstone immediately drew attention for its unusual colour and distinctive design. The piece, it turns out, was privately commissioned by Aamir Khan.

Instead of choosing a single ring to represent the moment, Aamir Khan chose to create two separate rings. The gesture reflects the belief that a single emotion rarely defines love. Rather than capturing a relationship in a single symbol, the two rings express the balance of energies that coexist within every bond. The rings feature an aquamarine and a ruby, gemstones selected not only for their beauty but also for the rarity and symbolism they carry.

At the centre of the aquamarine ring sits a luminous blue gemstone prized for its exceptional quality and rarity. Aquamarines of this size and purity represent less than 0.3% of stones discovered globally. Sourced from the depths of Brazil, the aquamarine is set in gold and encircled by 40 natural diamonds that form a radiant halo around the centre stone. The piece was brought to life through more than 363 hours of craftsmanship at QWEEN’s Mumbai factory, with 131 pairs of masterful hands contributing to the creation of the rings.

The second ring features a natural ruby sourced from Madagascar, an origin known for producing some of the world’s most sought-after rubies, celebrated for their depth of colour and natural intensity. Less than 0.1% of rubies achieve this level of quality. The ruby is set in a prong setting and required over 812 hours of craftsmanship to complete. Together, the two gemstones express a powerful duality. The ruby symbolises passion, intensity, and enduring devotion, while the aquamarine reflects clarity and emotional depth. Fire and water are two energies that often coexist within every relationship.
