The 13th edition of the Jewellers Association Show (JAS), organised by Jewellers Association, Jaipur, has been scheduled to run from April 6th-9th this year to capitalise on the wedding season demand and to avoid any clash of dates with other industry events around August-September, the period when the show was usually held.
In addition, the opening day of JAS 2019 will be open only for business-to-business (B2B) visitors and delegates, allowing them an opportunity to generate new contacts and explore fresh opportunities.
The theme of this year’s show is ‘Mystery of a Gemstone’. The event will decode the mysteries of gemstones, especially the navratnas or nine gems (ruby, diamond, pearl, red coral, hessonite, blue sapphire, cat’s eye, yellow sapphire, and emerald), which are believed to have mystical properties and are used for spiritual healing.
JAS 2019 will house around 500 booths, an increase of 50 booths from last year, and will showcase an aesthetic range of jewellery, gemstones and machinery. “The fair will be a visual treat for fashionistas and art connoisseurs, who are sure to fall in love with the exquisite designs, exclusive range and colourful display of enchanting jewellery,” the show organiser said, adding that a new pavilion has also been set up for emerald dealers. “With all these USPs, JAS 2019 is receiving whopping response from exhibitors,” it added.
