JAS 2019, the 13th edition of the jewellery show hosted by The Jewellers Association in Jaipur will run from April 6-9, 2019 at the Jaipur Exhibition Convention Centre (JECC) near Sitapura in Jaipur.

The show brings together manufacturers, retailers, designers, artisans, wholesalers, and buyers in a unique business environment which gives retailers the opportunity to interact with India´s best manufacturers and meet new suppliers. The first day of the show is open only to the trade, organisers told the media.

The show has grown almost 10% compared to last year and has almost 200 exhibitors from across India including a special section with about 50 stalls dedicated entirely to the emerald trade that will display varieties of the gemstone from different sources such as Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and others.

This year the focus of the show is on the elements that connect gemstones to life, particularly the Navratnas and their impact on the emotional, financial and physical attributes.

A number of special events have also been planned. There are seminars on various relevant topics and a networking evening. Fashion shows and a jewellery design competition are among the other highlights. Awards for the winners will be distributed at a gala event on April 9.
