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.

BlueStone-backed Ethera launches ‘Akshaya Tritiya Edit,’ designed for Life Beyond The Festival

The Sanskrit meaning of Akshaya Tritiya, the two words, holds a lot of importance. “Akshaya” means “Eternal”, and the term “Tritiya” signifies the third day of the illuminated half of the Vaishakha month.

BlueStone-backed Ethera, the lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, is marking this Akshaya Tritiya with a fresh perspective on festive buying, shifting the focus from one-day purchases to jewellery designed for everyday life. With its Akshaya Tritiya Edit,” rooted in Ethera’s modern design language, the collection brings together pieces that are minimal yet expressive, meant to be worn across different occasions.

Ethera is working to shift the festive buying narrative in India, traditionally driven by ritual, where many consumers opt for gold coins as symbolic purchases, valued for investment but rarely worn. The brand positions jewellery as a more practical alternative, combining long-term value with everyday usability.

As consumer preferences evolve, Ethera has noticed a shift toward pieces that integrate into daily life. Rather than remaining stored away, jewellery is increasingly chosen for wearability and versatility. In this context, Ethera’s lightweight designs and lab-grown diamonds offer the same visual appeal as natural diamonds in formats suited to regular use, supporting the brand’s philosophy of “wear what you love every day.”

Spanning rings, earrings, pendants, and wristwear, the Akshaya Tritiya Edit features clean silhouettes, refined forms, and lightweight designs crafted for everyday styling. From solitaires to contemporary clusters, each piece can be layered, revisited, and lived in beyond a single occasion.

Commenting on the initiative, Nitesh Jain, Co-founder, Ethera, said,“India’s jewellery sales crossed Rs. 12,000 crore during Akshaya Tritiya last year. Which is amazing, but what interests us is what happens after, the life a piece goes on to have. Does it stay locked away, or does it become part of your everyday? At Ethera, we design with that second life in mind. Jewellery should feel effortless to wear, because the real value of what you buy isn’t defined by the day you bought it, but by how often you choose to wear it after.”

Observed as one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu and Jain calendars, Akshaya Tritiya will be marked on Sunday, April 19, this year. The day is believed to bring enduring prosperity and good fortune, making it an ideal time for new beginnings and meaningful investments. Among its many traditions, buying jewellery, especially gold, continues to hold deep cultural significance as a symbol of wealth and security.

Building on this mindset, Ethera encourages consumers to explore fine jewellery that balances design with practicality. With lab-grown diamond pieces across accessible price points, including 9KT gold options, the brand makes it easier to choose jewellery that fits lifestyle and budget.

Adding a layer of personal expression, the collection offers customisation across gold purities, 9KT, 14KT, and 18KT, and finishes ranging from classic yellow to rose and subtle white gold. The result is jewellery that adapts to your mood, your style, and the many versions of you.

For the festive period, Ethera is offering up to 50% off on making charges and 20% off on diamonds, making it easier for customers to invest in pieces that hold value beyond the occasion.

As Ethera continues to strengthen its presence in everyday fine jewellery, this Akshaya Tritiya underlines its intent: jewellery isn’t for a day, it’s meant to be lived in, every day.
