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.

TRENDS @ SSI DELHI 3RD EDITION
Tradition and innovation aren’t mutually exclusive — they’re partners
Marketplace balancing heritage storytelling with the practical demands of a market hungry for lightweight, high-quality pieces.
The silver jewellery and articles industry continues to prove that tradition and innovation aren’t mutually exclusive — they’re partners. At SSI Delhi 3rd Edition
it pushes brands to reach new heights in design and craftsmanship, this season’s showcase revealed a marketplace balancing heritage storytelling with the practical demands of a market hungry for lightweight, high-quality pieces.
Shift to Lightweight
High gold prices are driving strong demand for lightweight silver pieces that retain a substantial, premium look without heavy grammage.
Optimistic Retail Sentiment
Retailers are actively acquiring inventory across both heritage temple designs and modern fashion-forward categories in anticipation of positive market momentum.
Hybrid Craftsmanship & Surface Finishes
Brands are blending classical techniques (Kundan, Nakash, Meenakari) with contemporary plating finishes like Black Rhodium and Rose Gold.
Diversification Beyond Jewelry
High-art silverware, sacred sculptures, novelty keepsakes, and men’s/teen wear are creating new, high-margin retail categories.
Threading through every collection was a clear market signal: demand for high-quality, lightweight jewelry is surging, driven largely by rising precious metal prices pushing consumers and retailers alike toward silver as a smart, elegant alternative.
Retailers on the floor were notably willing to pay a premium for innovation and quality — a sign that the market is rewarding craftsmanship rather than just chasing volume.
The mood among buyers was cautiously optimistic. There’s real hope that this season’s positive sentiment isn’t a one-off spike but the start of sustained momentum that carries on till the festive season and beyond.
