Solitaire International, India’s leading B2B gem and jewellery magazine, has transitioned from print to digital. The link for the Solitaire International is https://gjepc.org/solitaire/

With 33 years behind it, Solitaire carries in-depth coverage and analyses of events and issues concerning the global gem and jewellery industry, and offers an unmatched perspective on India’s diamond and coloured gemstone processing as well as the jewellery production and fast-growing retail industry.

Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, said, “We are happy to introduce Solitaire International magazine in a digital avatar. One thing that has remained constant  over the past  three decades is our commitment to the highest quality in editorial content and design. We intend to carry on with the same commitment in the future. The digital version of Solitaire International is a testimony that GJEPC is open to new ideas, and approaches to serve the industry in this changing business scenario.”

Milan Chokshi, Convener, Promotions, Marketing & Business Development, noted, “The way people consume information has changed drastically in this digital world. The digital Solitaire International is an effort to quickly reach out to our trade fraternity with news and perspectives of industry stakeholders. It’s a user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing website, covering all the aspects that you would want to know about the gem and jewellery industry.”

Solitaire’s objective has always been to serve the industry with the latest information that helps members to make better business decisions. Solitaire International is today recognised in India and the world over as a quality publication in trade journalism. The digital version of Solitaire International will continue to offer a comprehensive coverage about the world of gem and jewellery industry.

Just like in the physical magazine, the digital version has sections such as the lead story under Spotlight; industry insights from experts in Viewpoint. The section, Intelligence, offers statistical data generated by the Council and other analytical studies; it also maps gems and jewellery demand from across the world. The five important segments -- diamonds, coloured gemstones, gold, silver and platinum have been given equal importance under the section, Facets. Canvas keeps you updated about the latest jewellery trends in the industry, interviews with top jewellery designers from India and the world; and The Artisan Awards section will keep you informed about the Council’s prestigious annual jewellery design competition. Nuggets covers the day-to-day news and happenings in the industry from across the globe, and Confluence deals with trade shows, conferences and events. The Section on Policy will keep you updated about the latest policy changes related to the industry.

The print edition of Solitaire International had a readership of the entire organised sector in the Indian jewellery industry and all members of the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, India’s apex body for the trade. Its audience also included the leading jewellery retailers/chains/wholesalers in the US, Europe and the Middle East; Rough and Polished suppliers; mining companies; and financial/industry institutions worldwide. The new website will continue to inform our existing readers while reaching out to a larger audience.
