The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has inaugurated the India Pavilion and India Design Gallery at JCK Las Vegas 2026, marking its 21st consecutive participation at the international trade show. For overseas buyers, the pavilion offers direct access to 33 Indian exporters featuring natural diamonds, studded and plain gold jewellery, and couture collections, reinforcing India’s position as a design-led manufacturing hub.
Pavilion scale and exhibitor mix
Spanning 3,900 sq. ft. across two levels, the India Pavilion at The Venetian Expo (29 May–1 June) brings together 33 Indian exporters under GJEPC’s “Brilliant Bharat” initiative. The exhibitor lineup covers natural diamonds, studded jewellery, plain gold jewellery, and couture collections, giving importers and private-label brands a consolidated sourcing platform for diverse product categories.
India Design Gallery and trend direction
At location L1-105, the India Design Gallery features 26 creations from the Artisan Jewellery Design Awards 2026, curated by trend forecaster Paola De Luca under the theme “Quantum Couture.” The exhibits are organized around three design narratives—Embroidery, Micro Painting, and Poetic Layers—offering buyers insight into emerging Indian design trends that blend heritage craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.
Industry leadership and market strategy
GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali emphasized that the 21st participation marks an evolution in presenting India as a design-led manufacturing powerhouse. He noted that the pavilion showcases “innovative, market-ready” jewellery rooted in excellence. Bhansali also highlighted GJEPC’s recent membership in the Natural Diamond Council, supporting collective marketing and consumer education to sustain natural diamond demand among new-generation buyers.
What buyers should watch
Overseas buyers should note the expanded pavilion footprint and curated design gallery, which signal India’s growing capability in high-value, design-forward jewellery. The presence of 33 exporters under one roof streamlines supplier discovery, while the Natural Diamond Council membership may influence future diamond sourcing compliance and marketing support. Buyers seeking OEM/ODM partners or trend-driven collections should prioritize visits to both the pavilion and the design gallery.
