Through their dedication and passion, GJEPC has elevated the status of Indian jewellery on the global stage, making it a symbol of prestige and excellence. Tonight let us celebrate not just the beauty of jewellery, but also the craftsmanship, innovation, and ingenuity that goes into creating each masterpiece. May this evening be filled with inspiration, creativity, and an appreciation for the exquisite artistry that defines Indian jewellery. IIJS is much more than India’s biggest gem and jewellery trade exhibition. It’s a phenomenon, a powerhouse that has singlehandedly transformed an entire industry.”
