GJEPC’s India Pavilion at JCK, Las Vegas To Feature 50 Leading Companies

The India Pavilion organised by The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council at the JCK, Las Vegas Show, to be held from June 3-6, 2016, will feature the products of 50 leading gems and jewellery companies. This will be the 13th consecutive year that the India Pavilion has been organised at Vegas. 

The India Pavilion, spread across 81 booths and a  8100 sq. ft. area, is strategically located at the Diamond Plaza and the Passport Location.  

The Indian Pavilion  will showcase  a scintillating array of exquisite  gems and  jewellery – including loose diamonds, loose coloured gemstones, plain gold jewellery as well as diamond and coloured stone studded jewellery developed especially for the visitors of the JCK, Las Vegas  Show. 

The GJEPC is also putting up an “India Gallery” which will showcase some of the finest jewellery handpicked for the purpose. This will be located at the Passport venue.

On the eve of the Show, GJEPC Chairman Praveenshankar Pandya commented: “India is burgeoning with vibrancy, passion and dynamism creating a niche for itself. The rise in the percentage share of Indian gems and jewellery imports to the USA reflects the retailers’ and consumers’ growing interest for jewellery from India. Today India accounts for 23% of jewellery imports by the USA. A platform like JCK, Las Vegas plays an important role in further improving our trade relationship with the country.”  

India’s total gems and jewellery exports to the USA  for the period Jan-Dec 2015  amounted  to  US$ 8,706.59 million and accounted for  23% of total gems and jewellery exports out of India which stood at US$ 38.44 billion for the period.
