India-EFTA TEPA secures duty-free access for gems & jewellery to Switzerland, Norway & Iceland, Liechtenstein
As the India-European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) comes into force on 1st October, India’s gems & jewellery exporters stand to gain from sustained duty-free access to key European markets — an advantage that has been preserved and reinforced under the new pact.
Signed on 10 March 2024, TEPA is India’s first FTA with developed European economies — Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It reflects a commitment not just to freer trade in goods and services, but also to investment, sustainable development, and job creation.
For the gems and jewellery sector, TEPA secures duty-free access for several important product lines across EFTA nations.
Switzerland: Cut & polished natural diamonds, gold jewellery, and polished rubies, sapphires & emeralds
Norway: Cut & polished natural diamonds, gold jewellery, silver jewellery, and imitation jewellery
Iceland: Gold jewellery, silver jewellery, and imitation jewellery
The agreement goes beyond tariff elimination by creating a stable and predictable trade framework for exporters. It also brings a strong investment component, with EFTA countries committing USD 50 billion in FDI over the first decade, followed by another USD 50 billion in the subsequent five years.
This inflow is expected to generate one million direct jobs, with opportunities for design innovation, precision manufacturing and technology upgrades that could particularly benefit India’s jewellery MSMEs. Additionally, easier access to advanced equipment, inputs and capital from Europe is set to strengthen India’s value chains and improve the competitiveness of its jewellery exports.

Harit Zaveri Jewellers Celebrates A Bride’s Royal Spirit In An Indian Wedding With Its New Polki Collection
A Celebration Of Regal Femininity, Heirloom Craftsmanship, and The Refreshing Depth Of Emeralds.
June 2026 A bride’s jewellery is never merely ornamental, it carries sentiment, memory, and the quiet power of tradition. With its newest Polki Collection, Harit Zaveri Jewellers introduces a refined take on royal Indian bridal jewellery, thoughtfully designed for the modern bride who embraces heritage while expressing her individuality with confidence and grace.


Crafted between 18kt to 14kt gold and enriched by Emeralds, Harit Zaveri Jewellers Polki collection celebrates a bride in her most transformative moment – poised between reflection and becoming. Every jewellery piece in the collection is designed to accompany her through this pause.
At the heart of the collection lies the richness of polki craftsmanship – raw, uncut diamonds admired for their old-world charm and regal appeal, long associated with royal Indian heirlooms. Paired with vivid emeralds, known to symbolise renewal, harmony, love, and abundance, the collection brings together heritage and elegance. The richness of green emeralds adds depth and freshness, creating jewels that feel both classic and strikingly modern.
The collection features an expansive range of statement and versatile pieces including necklaces, kadas, rings, earrings, and bridal sets, thoughtfully embellished with emeralds, pearls, and polki detailing.


This collection from Harit Zaveri Jewellers compliments classic reds and heritage weaves to contemporary ivories, pastels, and couture silhouettes. Whether layered with a traditional lehenga, paired with a modern sari drape, or styled for intimate pre-wedding celebrations, these pieces seamlessly adapt while elevating every bridal look with a quiet majesty.
These pieces are envisioned as modern heirlooms, where meticulous craftsmanship, precious materials, and timeless artistry come together to create pieces worthy of being passed down through generations.
Harit Zaveri, Joint Managing Director at Harit Zaveri Jewellers said:

“At Harit Zaveri Jewellers, we have always believed bridal jewellery should feel personal, something that reflects a bride’s story and individuality. Many of our clients naturally gravitate towards one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with their personality and become part of their memories for years to come. With this Polki collection, we wanted to celebrate craftsmanship with the richness of emeralds, a stone that beautifully complements a variety of bridal colours and effortlessly completes a look. Above all, quality remains at the heart of everything we create because we believe jewellery should feel as enduring as the memories and moments attached to it.”
