GJEPC organises India pavilion for the 16th consecutive year with 40 leading gem & jewellery players

The leading jewellery event in North America, JCK Las Vegas witnessed India Pavilion organized by Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) for the 16 th consecutive year. This year, 40 gem and jewellery exporters participating at the “India Pavilion” are showcasing a wide variety of trendy, unique and innovative jewellery made
especially for the US market. The India Pavilion is located at JCK’s Passport & Diamond Plaza.
  
Mr. Pramod Agrawal, Chairman, GJEPC said, “USA is a significant market for the Indian gem and jewellery industry. India exported US$ 10.58 billion worth of Gem & Jewellery products to the US in 2018. The rising GDP growth, employment rate and private consumption expenditure in the US have contributed to the rise in India’s exports of gems and jewellery to the market. It is believed that this momentum of US demand will continue further, and this is a good sign for Indian gems and jewellery exports. USA alone is expected to shell out $5.2 billion on the jewellery category this year, a whopping 31% increase over last year, as reported in its annual survey by NRF (National Retail Federation), with Mother’s Day estimated to see record spends and the good news is that India caters to over 19% of the US
market’s jewellery demand.”

For India JCK Las Vegas has been a significant platform to further strengthen its network and improve its exports to the USA. It is also an opportunity for Indian exporters to understand the latest trends in the market which helps them to come back every year with trendy and innovative products for the buyers here. With top manufacturers participating at India Pavilion, buyers here will get to see products of the highest quality including loose diamonds, loose coloured gemstones, plain gold jewellery, pearl jewellery, silver jewellery as well as diamond and coloured stone studded jewellery.

Today, the Indian gem &  jewellery industry is at its pinnacle. India’s overall gem & jewellery exports for the year 2018 accounted for US$ 39461.07 million. All thanks to its 5 million workforce. For this industry, ethical business practices precede any other practice. ‘Business with Conscience’ has been their mantra for decades now and it indeed reflects in the efforts taken by the industry to adopt measures for the wellbeing of not only its workforce but also
initiating several other programs for the greater good. Indian G & J Industry and GJEPC have invested heavily in its workforce by adopting high standards of modernisation, safety, cleanliness and other socio-economic benefits such as,
medical facilities, employment generation and second-to-none training programs for workers amongst others.

“We as an Industry and also the apex gem & jewellery body of the Country strongly believe that our greatest resource is our talented workforce. We continuously strive to upgrade their lives through several socio-economic benefits for them as well as their families,” added Colin Shah.

The prime activity of GJEPC is to promote the Gem & Jewellery products in the International markets. Over the years, it has involved in organising a number of important trade shows held in the country like the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS), IIJS Signature, India Gem & Jewellery Machinery Expo (IGJME).  The GJEPC also organises India Pavilions 
participation of a number of companies under the GJEPC banner -  at various leading international shows like JCK Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Basel, and several others worldwide.

Various product-specific Buyer-Seller Meets, sending and hosting trade delegations and sustained image building exercises through advertisements abroad, publications and audio- visuals are some of the other trade promotion activities undertaken by the Council. The Indian industry has also been taking self-regulation measures. GJEPC launched ‘My KYC Bank’ portal for total transparency in operations. ‘My KYC Bank’ is a centralised KYC repository-cum-exchange platform for the gems and jewellery industry.
