The Festive edition of Gem & Jewellery India International Fair (GJIIF) 2025, widely acknowledged as India’s Largest and most premier B2B jewellery exhibition for South Indian Jewellery, was widely applauded by all participants, with exhibitors acknowledging the key role this platform plays in helping develop their business in this region.
Over 12,000 Visitors Over Three Days
Crowds were seen across the venue on all the three days with the total number of visitors crossing 12,000+. Most exhibitors indicated that they were fully satisfied with the show both in terms of direct business and strengthening their client networks. Significantly, the vast number of retailers at the show – from small single-store owners to teams from large corporate chains – reflected the important role that GJIIF plays in helping the trade get ready for the festive season.
Exclusive Focus on South Indian Jewellery
GJIIF, organised by the Jewellers and Diamond Traders Association, Madras (MJDTA) in association with Tamil Nadu Jewellers Federation (TNJF) and managed by India’s premier B2B exhibition organiser United Exhibitions (UE) is the only B2B jewellery show in the country with an exclusive focus on South Indian jewellery. This edition, held from September 12-14, 2025 was well timed to help the trade prepare for the year end Festive season which has important auspicious occasions like Dusshera, Dhanteras and Diwali.
Leadership Comments Highlight Show’s Success
Jayantilal Challani, Convener-GJIIF and President, MJDTA, said, “Our aim is to deliver a better show each year, and I believe we achieved it once again. GJIIF Festive edition saw a large participation from manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, and we have received positive feedback from all segments. GJIIF stands out in an increasingly crowded calendar as the only show focusing on South Indian jewellery and proved once again as the WINNER amongst all,”
300+ Exhibitors and 800+ Stalls Over 2,50,000 Sq Ft
The September show had participation from about 300+ exhibitors and was spread over 800+ stalls covering a mammoth 2,50,000 sq ft area. Among them were well-known names from the manufacturing and wholesale segments, most of whom are regular participants at GJIIF for the past many years. As always, there were many new participants who came up with exciting innovations and fresh designs.
Visitor Profile Shows Significant All-India and International Growth
The visitor profile revealed a significant growth in all-India and international participation, and a big surge in numbers from Tier II and Tier III cities across the south. International visitors from Sri Lanka, Singapore, Middle East, United States, UK and Malaysia also attended.
Retail Trade Benefits from Wide Range of South Indian Jewellery Collections
Emphasising the key role that GJIIF plays for the retail trade, B Sabarinath, President TNJF said, “The feedback we have received indicates that GJIIF is useful because it offers a wide choice with many new collections and different types of South Indian jewellery in styles that blend a contemporary and traditional look. It is a critical show, and many jewellers only firm up their sourcing plans based on what they see at this event.”
Exemplary Organisation and Business-Friendly Environment
Most participants also praised GJIIF and the show managers, United Exhibitions for the quality of facilities and the strict B2B business-friendly environment. They highlighted multiple aspects from pre-show publicity to smooth registration procedures, and from a well-organised floorplan to the excellent hospitality arrangements.
Show Managers’ Commitment to Excellence
“As Show Managers, the UE team has always aimed to make it easy for all participants to focus on business and networking. We have paid attention to every small detail,” said V.K. Manoj, Project Director, United Exhibitions. “GJIIF is one of the largest and most important shows in India, and we try to ensure it is one step ahead of other shows taking place at the same time.”
Concurrent Events and Knowledge Seminars Add Value
A number of concurrent events were also held along with the main show where the focus again was on delivering quality and encouraging networking and knowledge-sharing. This year’s highlights included the Tamilnadu Jewellers Conclave, GJIIF Golden Gala Nite & GJIIF Networking Nite. Alongside, the series of Knowledge Seminars covering a range of themes and topics was impressive.
GJIIF 2026 Akshaya Tritiya Edition Announced
GJIIF 2026 Akshaya Tritiya Edition will be held in Chennai from March 6-8, 2026 and will be larger than ever before. Most existing exhibitors have already confirmed their participation with the majority choosing to retain the same space as the earlier year.
