The 6th edition of the Gem & Jewellery India International Exhibition is set to begin on January 23. The three-day B2B (business-to-business) expo, organised by the Madras Jewellers & Diamond Merchants Association jointly with UBM India, is expected to showcase gold and diamond jewellery from across the country tiffany and abroad.

According to Mr Babu Emmanuel, President of the Madras Jewellers & Diamond Merchants Association, this year there will be over 150 stalls spread over 30,000 sq.ft. More than 125 manufacturers from India and countries such as Thailand, Dubai, Hong Kong Malaysia, Italy and the US have confirmed their participation. “The expo will be a platform for manufacturers and retailers to meet, and will benefit both as this will eliminate middlemen in the trade,” said Mr Emmanuel.

The Madras Jewellers & Diamond Merchants Association, founded way back in 1938 and which earrings has more than 1,000 members today, started the expo in 2005 as a regional show with 50 exhibitors. “Now it has become an international event and attracts retailers and manufacturers from many foreign countries too,” says Mr Yogesh J. Shah, Chairman of the event. This year, the expo is expected to draw over 10,000 visitors, he said.

UBM India is part of the global business media company, United Business Media, which organises trade fairs across the world.
