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.

“Brilliant Bharat” Shines At JCK Las Vegas 2026: GJEPC’s India Pavilion Is Focal Point For International Retail Buyers
3,900-Square-Foot India Pavilion Features 33 Premier Member Exporters
The GJEPC marked its 21st consecutive year at JCK Las Vegas 2026 by organising a massive 3,900-square-foot India Pavilion under the “Brilliant Bharat” initiative. Featuring 33 premier member exporters across Levels 1 and 2, the pavilion became an immediate focal point for international retail buyers.
This strategic grouping directly elevated the visibility of Indian craftsmanship, positioning the country not merely as an automated back-end supplier, but as a major driver of modern global jewellery trends.
Rather than acting as a traditional, back-end manufacturing hub, the pavilion rebranded India as the true driver of modern global design. The result? A stunningly robust flow of orders and enquiries from major US retail chains, independent boutiques, and e-commerce giants.
The defining narrative of the 2026 show was strategic evolution. Indian manufacturers have successfully bifurcated the diamond market, creating completely separate, highly efficient pipelines for natural and laboratory-grown stones.
In the natural diamond sector, buyers looking for long-term stores of value gravitated toward trusted heritage names. There was significant retail traction for rare, GIA-certified investment-grade stones. And heavy, elongated fancy shapes like ovals, marquises, and emerald cuts.
On the flip side of the coin, the laboratory-grown diamond (LGD) sector was an absolute beehive of activity.–, they captured the fashion and accessible bridal markets by showcasing striking fancy-colored LGDs in vibrant pinks, blues, and yellows—a massive hit for budget-conscious commercial retail chains.
Furthermore, the “India Design Gallery,” located at the Level 1 Lobby, acted as a vital visual anchor, drawing interest from visitors from high-end boutiques.
