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.

WDC Transitions To An Expanded System Of Warranties
Broadening Its Scope Beyond Conflict Diamonds To Encompass Human Rights, Labor Standards, Anti-Corruption, and Anti-Money Laundering
The World Diamond Council (WDC) has fully transitioned to an expanded System of Warranties, broadening its scope beyond conflict diamonds to encompass human rights, labor standards, anti-corruption, and anti-money laundering controls across the global diamond supply chain.
First introduced in 2002 to complement the Kimberley Process for rough diamonds, the voluntary self-regulatory system applies to transactions involving polished diamonds and finished jewelry.
Following a five-year transition period that concluded on Sept. 21, companies trading in diamonds are now required to register on a dedicated WDC digital platform and complete an annual online self-assessment to maintain compliance.
Upon completing the evaluation, businesses receive a unique identification number to include alongside updated warranty declarations on commercial invoices and memos. The WDC initiated the revision in 2017 to modernize industry self-regulation and ensure broader ethical sourcing standards across intermediate and retail markets.
