India takes centre stage as Partner Country at INHORGENTA 2025
India proudly takes centre stage as the role of official partner country at INHORGENTA 2025, marking a pivotal moment in the global gem and jewellery industry. The show, INHORGENTA 2025, was inaugurated at the India Pavilion today by Shatrughna Sinha, IFS, Consul General of India, Munich; Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC; Stefan Rummel, CEO of Messe München; and Stefanie Maendlein, Exhibition Director of INHORGENTA.
Curated by GJEPC, the India Pavilion is showcasing a stunning array of diamond jewellery, gold and platinum pieces, fine jewellery, and loose gemstones. The India Experience Lounge at INHORGENTA 2025 offers visitors a multi-sensory journey into India’s rich heritage, blending craftsmanship, culture, and innovation.
Additionally, the Brand India Gallery displays masterpieces from the Artisan Jewellery Design Awards, demonstrating India’s exceptional talent and creative excellence. From the exquisite jewellery and Manchaha Rugs, handwoven by rural artisans, to the flavors of Kashmiri Kahwa and Masala Chai, every element engages the senses. The aroma of sandalwood and the melodic strains of the Sitar create an immersive atmosphere, making the lounge a true celebration of India’s artistry and tradition.
A panel discussion, The Rising Indian Jewellery Influence in the Global Landscape, will explore India’s growing impact on the global market, featuring industry experts Alice Cicolini, a high-end jewellery designer based in the UK, and Radhika Somaia, a brand architect, curator, and jewellery contributor.
Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) and the London Diamond Bourse (LDB) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening cooperation between the two diamond trading centres, expanding business opportunities for members, and promoting responsible growth across the global diamond and gemstone trade. The agreement was announced on 8 July 2026.
The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration in responsible trading, commercial development, knowledge sharing, and closer engagement between members of the two bourses. It also seeks to encourage dialogue on issues affecting the international diamond industry as trading centres adapt to an increasingly interconnected global marketplace.
The agreement was signed by Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of the Dubai Diamond Exchange, and Charlotte Rose, President of the London Diamond Bourse. It marks the first formal international partnership under Rose’s presidency, which began in June.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman, Dubai Diamond Exchange, said:
“The Dubai Diamond Exchange was built on the belief that connecting markets creates opportunity. This partnership with the London Diamond Bourse reflects that philosophy, bringing together two major diamond trading centres to strengthen collaboration and expand opportunities for our respective members. The future of our industry will not be built by individual markets acting alone. By working more closely together, we can establish a stronger network of trusted trading centres, sharing expertise, upholding recognised standards, and reinforcing confidence and growth across the global diamond trade.”
Charlotte Rose, President, London Diamond Bourse, noted:
“There is no better partner for the London Diamond Bourse to begin this new chapter with than the Dubai Diamond Exchange. As a fellow member of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses, the DDE shares our commitment to trusted, well-governed trading, and this agreement opens up real opportunities for members on both sides. I’m looking forward to seeing where this partnership takes us.”
