The All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) has announced the 9th edition of the India Gems and Jewellery Show (GJS April 2026), alongside unveiling its new official logo, even as the industry prepares for potential gold price volatility ahead of the festive buying season.
According to GJC, rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may lead to short-term fluctuations in global gold prices ahead of Akshaya Tritiya, a key period for jewellery purchases in India. The Middle East, particularly Dubai, plays a critical role in global bullion trade and serves as a major gateway for gold entering Asian markets. Any escalation in the region could impact supply chains, liquidity, and price discovery.
Despite these uncertainties, the industry expects demand to remain stable, supported by the ongoing wedding season, cultural affinity for gold, and the rise of organised retail. Consumers are also increasingly shifting towards lighter jewellery and diamond-studded designs when prices rise.
India continues to dominate the global diamond trade, processing over 90% of the world’s diamonds by volume. Key hubs such as Surat and Mumbai remain central to supplying polished diamonds to markets across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
GJS April 2026, often referred to as “Humara Apna Show,” will be held from April 4 to 7, 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre. Themed “Akshay Kala: The Eternal Art,” the B2B exhibition will showcase craftsmanship and innovation in the jewellery sector.
The event is strategically scheduled between Gudi Padwa and Akshaya Tritiya, aligning with peak wedding and festive demand. The show will feature over 400 exhibitors across 700+ booths and is expected to attract more than 15,000 visitors, with hosted buyer arrangements ensuring seamless sourcing opportunities.
Ahead of the exhibition, GJC will host “Manthan,” a research seminar focused on building the Vision Blueprint 2047, positioning India as the “Jeweller to the World.” Organised in collaboration with the India Gold Policy Centre, Manthan will bring together policymakers and industry leaders to discuss key trends and policy developments.
An exclusive session for elite family jewellers will also be held, featuring Vivek Bindra, aimed at offering leadership and business insights.
Additionally, “Mindspeak,” a knowledge-driven seminar series, will explore evolving consumer preferences, digital transformation, and future retail trends in the jewellery industry.
GJC also marked a milestone with the unveiling of its new logo, symbolising the strength and unity of nearly six lakh businesses across the sector. The design incorporates a diamond shape with the letter ‘G’ representing Gems, Gold, and Growth, along with an upward arrow signifying progress and innovation. The gold and emerald colour palette reflects prosperity, trust, and sustainability.
Rajesh Rokde, Chairman, GJC said, “The 9th edition of Humara Apna Show is not just an exhibition—it is a celebration of India’s eternal artistry and festive spirit. Timed perfectly between Gudi Padwa and Akshaya Tritiya, GJS 2026 will showcase exquisite collections and strengthen trade ties across the value chain. Alongside this, Manthan will provide a vital platform for ideas and policy discussions, shaping India’s vision as the Jeweller to the World. At the same time, the unveiling of our new logo marks a defining milestone, symbolising the strength of our industry through the diamond and its forward momentum through the arrow. Together, these initiatives reflect our commitment to preserving India’s rich jewellery legacy while guiding it toward a progressive and globally competitive future.”
Avinash Gupta, Vice Chairman, GJC said, “GJS April 2026 is designed as a powerful platform for jewellers of all sizes to explore new designs, discover emerging trends, and connect with peers across the industry. With over 400 exhibitors and interactive Mindspeak seminars, the show will boost festive demand and spark fresh ideas that will shape the future of the trade. Our new emblem further reinforces this vision—capturing Gems, Gold, and Growth as the pillars of our mission. The upward arrow within the diamond reflects our rising economic contribution and continuous drive for innovation, skill development, and sustainability.”
He further added, “What makes GJS truly impactful is that it is not just a trade show, but a comprehensive industry movement. It begins with Manthan – the Gems and Jewellery Conclave, where the brightest minds of the jewellery industry come together to churn ideas and shape the Vision Blueprint 2047, positioning India as the Jeweller to the World. Alongside this, Mindspeak will bring together industry experts and thought leaders to share insights, while the exhibition floor enables jewellers from across the country to complete their buying ahead of Akshaya Tritiya and the upcoming wedding season, making GJS April 2026 a powerful platform for ideas, dialogue, and business growth.”
Saiyam Mehra, Immediate Past Chairman & Convenor, GJS said, “GJS has always been about empowering jewellers with opportunities that go beyond business. The Exclusive Session for Elite Family Jewellers exemplifies this mission, offering transformative insights on leadership and growth. By curating such experiences, GJS reinforces its role as the ultimate destination for inspiration, innovation, and excellence. Alongside this, our refreshed identity embodies resilience and dynamism—ensuring that family jewellers and industry stakeholders alike are equipped to navigate the future with confidence and vision.”
The GJC continues to play a key role as a bridge between the government and the industry, driving initiatives that support growth, regulation, and innovation across India’s gem and jewellery sector.
