GJEPC’s First-Ever India Silver Jewelry Event Held in New Delhi

The first-ever meeting event for buyers and sellers of Indian silver jewelry was held October 3–5 in New Delhi, as organized by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).

The Buyer Seller Meet (BSM) hosted 27 Indian silver jewelry manufacturers and 49 international buyers from 16 countries.

“There is a growing demand for silver jewelry or alternative metal globally,” said GJEPC chairman Pramod Kumar Agrawal, in a press release. “India can capitalize on this, as it has the capability and skills to produce quality silver jewelry matching international standards. The focus of the sector is to garner foreign exchange and increase value addition, thereby generating employment in the sector. We are hopeful that the government would support this sector with trade-friendly policies and, thus, help it to play a bigger role globally.”

With the prices of gold going up, buyers at the event were eager to source more silver jewelry. “It is a fantastic initiative from GJEPC, showcasing the true strengths of jewelry craftsmanship in India,” said Lina Abouhalka, a buyer from Beirut. “The buyer and seller meet is a very promising opportunity to explore fine silver jewelry collections.”
