Olga González, founder and head of Pietra Communications, has been appointed U.S. buyer coordinator for the 2026 International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS) in Jaipur.

With González heading the U.S. buyer program, IGJS will offer stipends to qualified U.S. buyers that cover airfare, hotel accommodations, and meals for the April 9–11, 2026, show. Companies with an annual turnover of more than $1 million can apply to extend their visit with diamond factory tours in Mumbai and Surat.

IGJS is organized by India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC). In 2026, the show will triple in size to 150 exhibitors, from 50 the previous year.
