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.

Alrosa Reports Highest Customer Interest in Rough Diamonds in Eight Years
Since The Beginning Of 2026, Prices For Approximately 80% Of The Company’s Production By Value In The 2- To 10-Carat Category Have Increased By 6% To 9%.
Russian diamond mining company Alrosa has reported its strongest level of customer engagement in rough diamonds in the past eight years, with the number of product viewings conducted in May 2026 more than doubling compared with the corresponding period last year.
According to the company, client screenings of rough diamond assortments reached a record high, surpassing even the pre-pandemic levels recorded in 2019. Demand was particularly robust for large diamonds weighing 10.8 carats and above, as well as rare fancy-coloured diamonds, reflecting heightened interest in premium and investment-oriented categories.
Alrosa noted that the trend underscores strengthening demand in the higher-value segment of the market. Since the beginning of 2026, prices for approximately 80% of the company’s production by value in the 2- to 10-carat category have increased by 6% to 9%. These rough diamonds are widely used in the manufacture of investment-grade polished stones.
Alrosa markets a significant share of its rough diamond production through competitive sales mechanisms, including auctions, tenders and electronic sales platforms. The company also facilitates spot sales through one-time transactions, providing buyers with flexible procurement options.
Product screenings are organised through Alrosa’s Unified Sales Organisation, which is responsible for the sorting, valuation and pre-sale preparation of Russian rough diamonds before they are offered to the market.
The latest data points to improving sentiment within select segments of the global rough diamond industry, particularly for large and rare stones, as constrained supply conditions and renewed interest from manufacturers and investors continue to support demand.
