As the Jaipur Jewellery Show (JJS) concluded what is traditionally the final major trade exhibition of the year, the International Institute of Gemology (IIG) used the moment to underline a larger shift underway in professional education, one where classroom learning is no longer sufficient without deep, structured industry immersion.

The Indian Institute of Gems & Jewellery (IIGJ), Mumbai, took a significant leap forward in its journey of growth with the inauguration of its newly modernised, state-of-the-art campus. The launch marks a new chapter for the institute, reinforcing its role as a centre of excellence in gems and jewellery education, skill development, and innovation.

Gemological Science International (GSI), a global leader in gemological certification, reinforced its position as the trusted laboratory partner for India’s jewellery supply chain at IIJS Premiere 2025, held at the Nesco Exhibition Centre, Mumbai.

The Board of Governors of the Gemological Institute of America, Inc. (GIA) has named Pritesh Patel, currently GIA’s Chief Operating Officer, as the Institute’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective August 4, 2025. Patel succeeds Susan M. Jacques, GIA’s President and CEO since 2014, who will continue at GIA as a strategic advisor until her retirement at the end of 2025
