The 41st edition of India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) Premiere is shining the spotlight on India’s role as a major player in the international jewellery industry. 

According to event organiser Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the fair is expected to drive significant growth in exports through business transactions and key initiatives. 

With the theme, “Brilliant Bharat – Architecture of India”, the B2B jewellery trade show is taking place in two venues – JIO World Convention Centre from July 30 to August 3, and the Bombay Exhibition Centre from July 31 to August 4. 

GJEPC described IIJS Premiere 2025 as “the biggest-ever edition of the gem and jewellery B2B trade show,” spanning a total exhibition area of 135,000 sqm. The show features over 3,600 stalls and 2,100 exhibitors. 

IIJS Premiere 2025 is expecting 50,000 visitors from 1,300 Indian cities and more than 3,000 international buyers from over 80 countries.

IIJS Premiere features a wide array of products including diamond, gemstone and studded jewellery, gold and gold CZ jewellery, lab-grown diamonds, high-end couture jewellery, silver jewellery and artefacts, coloured gemstones and machinery, technology and allied industries.

A special attraction this year is the Select Club - Exclusive High-End Couture Jewellery Section, which showcases elegant designs and innovative craftsmanship from 118 exhibitors.

GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali said, “IIJS is growing year after year, both in scale and impact. This year, IIJS Premiere is set to drive business worth ₹70,000 crore (around US$8.33 billion) over the next quarter – testament to India’s expanding influence in the global gem and jewellery trade.”

Bhansali added that several policy initiatives will boost India’s exports. For instance, Free Trade Agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Australia have already delivered tangible benefits, and the recently concluded India–UK FTA is set to be a game-changer – potentially doubling the jewellery sector’s bilateral trade with the UK to US$7 billion in the next three years. 

“With new markets emerging and initiatives like Saudi Arabia Jewellery Exposition (SAJEX) – our first dedicated B2B show in Saudi Arabia, GJEPC is taking India’s growth story to untapped regions across GCC (Guld Cooperation Council), North Africa, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) and Europe,” Bhansali remarked.
