The activity was conducted at various jewellers. The overwhelming response highlighted the deep emotional connections people share with their mothers, with participants enthusiastically celebrating and sharing their love both offline and online.

The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has announced a significant event that underscores the growing economic ties between India and the United Kingdom—the inaugural India-UK Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet, scheduled for 8-9 July 2025, at the Arsenal Executive Box in London. This gathering, facilitated by the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), marks a pivotal moment for the jewellery trade, bringing together Indian manufacturers and UK buyers to facilitate collaboration in a market poised for growth.

The United Kingdom is a powerhouse in the global jewellery sector, projected to generate US$5.23 billion in revenue in 2025. Ranking among the top 10 importers of gold, silverware, and jewellery, the UK imported over US$3.2 billion-worth of these goods in 2022. This event, focusing on fine jewellery, silver jewellery, and lab-grown diamonds, taps into a demand that continues to rise, driven by discerning consumers and a robust retail landscape. The timing of the meet in July is strategic, aligning with the UK trade show calendar. It provides buyers an opportunity to finalise designs ahead of the Christmas season, while Indian manufacturers benefit from a 4-6 week lead time to ensure quality production and customisation.

What sets this event apart is its curated approach. GJEPC has spent months identifying 20 Indian exhibitors and over 60 prominent UK buyers, including industry giants like H Samuel, Ernest Jones, Diamnet, Silverton, Dillion Jewellery, Beaverbrooks, and Warren James among several others.

These buyers, representing major chain stores, retailers, and brands from cities like London, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Manchester, will engage in one-on-one meetings with Indian counterparts. This format ensures meaningful interactions and builds lasting partnerships.

The India-UK FTA has opened new avenues for collaboration, and this Buyer-Seller Meet is a testament to its potential. By connecting Indian manufacturers with UK buyers, the event strengthens economic bonds.

For Indian exhibitors, it’s a chance to showcase craftsmanship in a market that values quality and innovation. For UK buyers, it offers access to diverse designs and sustainable options like lab-grown diamonds, which are increasingly popular.

Jaipur’s jewellers will not do business with Turkey and Azerbaijan. They will underscore the fact that supporting Pakistan will prove costly for Turkey and Azerbaijan. The Jewellers Association of Jaipur has initiated a trade boycott. Rough stones are imported from Turkey and colored gemstones are exported. This step has been taken in response to public sentiment and in the national interest.

The decision was taken at an executive meeting held by Jewellers Association of Jaipur. The Associations President Alok Sonkhia and  Secretary Neeraj Lunawat appealed to jewellers across Jaipur to boycott Turkey and Azerbaijan.

The Jewellers Association of Jaipur, aligning with national sentiment, has decided to halt all business dealings with Turkey and Azerbaijan. This includes stopping imports of rough stones (used in jewellery manufacturing) from Turkey and halting exports of colored gemstones to these countries.

The statement reflects a recent, broader movement within India’s jewellery sector to boycott trade with Turkey and Azerbaijan. This action comes after both countries publicly supported Pakistan during recent escalations in India-Pakistan tensions, particularly after events like the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor.

This is not an isolated decision. The All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC), the apex body for the sector, has called for a nationwide halt to all business transactions with Turkey and Azerbaijan. The boycott extends beyond jewellery to include machinery, equipment, and even calls for the Indian film industry to avoid shooting in these countries.
