The 7th batch of the Familiarisation Programme (FAM) at the India Jewellery Exposition Centre (IJEX) in Dubai began with Indian exporters gaining on-ground exposure to the UAE’s jewellery ecosystem and evolving opportunities across the Middle East market.
The FAM is conducted as part of the GJEPC’s flagship Exporter Mentorship Program (EMP), which aims to equip exporters with practical market knowledge, global exposure, and business development pathways beyond India.
Participants explored jewellery hubs across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ajman, where they studied regional consumer preferences, retail formats, jewellery categories, and buying behaviour through guided market visits and expert-led sessions.
A key highlight of the programme was an interactive session at the World Academy of Design, alongside the “Gouache in High Jewellery” experience hosted by L’ÉCOLE School of Jewelry Arts. The sessions offered participants deeper insight into jewellery design aesthetics, craftsmanship, and luxury market positioning.
