Testimonial

Ishu Datwani - Founder, Anmol Jewellers, Mumbai

The ambience and the sourcing experience at IIJS have always been good. I have been visiting the trade show for many years now. The general buying sentiment is good and we are seeing an uptrend in the demand.

IIJS is very important for buying and planning our inventory for the festive season which starts from September and also for the bridal season which starts in November.I make it a point to visit IIJS as it helps keep us abreast of the latest jewellery design trends and innovations in jewellery manufacturing and craftsmanship. It also gives us an opportunity to explore new suppliers in order to add a new dimension to our repertoire of designs.

I have been visiting IIJS for the past 20 years. This year will be no different. IIJS is one of the most important jewellery events on our calendar. The industry is moving in a very positive direction. The sentiments have become positive and investments are being made to increase the inventory for the upcoming festivities.

IIJS is the ideal platform for the jewellery industry. One gets to meet maximum number of exhibitors at one place, making the visit fruitful. Also the comfortable ambience adds to the pleasing experience.

Priyesh Nagar - Director JMC, Indore

IIJS has been a game changer for the Indian jewellery market. Retailers plan their stock purchases and orders as per IIJS dates. I have been visiting IIJS for the last 12 years. I make it a point to visit this trade show because you find all the top jewellery manufacturers under one roof. It has also moulded itself into a learning platform with forums and interactive sessions with key leaders from the industry. The forthcoming festive season should be positive and there is high demand for gold jewellery products under H2 lakh. I will focus on sourcing more lightweight gold jewellery at IIJS 2017.

I have been visiting IIJS since its inception. I must say I am impressed at the transformation which has occurred over the years. I have visited several international jewellery fairs and I think IIJS ranks among the best when it comes to bringing diverse stakeholders and leaders in the field of jewellery on one platform.

This year I will be visiting the show along with my team. At IIJS, our prime focus will be to source gold and diamond jewellery. We will also look at the new trends in jewellery this season. Besides, we will also look at the offerings in the precious stones category. Lightweight jewellery with an affordable price tag will be a key sourcing criterion.

The current season has picked up and the outlook has been positive. I am sure the upbeat sentiments will prevail at IIJS as well.
