India is making a strong statement on the global jewellery stage at JCK Las Vegas 2026, with a showcase that reflects the country's growing role as both a manufacturing leader and a source of design innovation.
Marking its 21st consecutive year at the prestigious trade show, the India Pavilion brings together 33 leading exporters under the “Brilliant Bharat” vision. Spread across 3,900 square feet at The Venetian Expo, the pavilion presents a curated view of India’s jewellery capabilities, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design and global market appeal.
The pavilion was formally inaugurated by Dr. K.J. Srinivasa, Consul General of India in Los Angeles, alongside senior representatives from GJEPC.
Designed across two levels, the pavilion offers international buyers a structured journey through India’s jewellery ecosystem. The first level highlights natural diamonds, studded jewellery and gold creations, showcasing the country’s longstanding expertise in precious materials and artisanal production. The second level focuses on premium natural diamonds and high-end jewellery collections tailored to evolving global tastes.
A key attraction this year is the India Design Gallery, themed “Quantum Couture.” Curated by renowned jewellery trend forecaster Paola De Luca, the gallery features exclusive, one-of-a-kind creations inspired by Indian heritage techniques and reinterpreted through a contemporary design lens.
The exhibition is divided into three creative narratives—Embroidery, Micro Painting and Poetic Layers—demonstrating how traditional artistic practices can be transformed into modern jewellery expressions.
Speaking on the occasion, GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali said the pavilion reflects India's evolution from a manufacturing powerhouse to a design-driven force within the global jewellery industry. He noted that the showcase combines generations of craftsmanship with innovation, presenting collections that are both globally relevant and rooted in Indian excellence.
Bhansali also highlighted the significance of the India Design Gallery, describing it as a reflection of the country's expanding design capabilities and its growing recognition as a destination for creative jewellery development.
Commenting on GJEPC’s recent membership of the Natural Diamond Council, he noted that the move reinforces the industry's commitment to strengthening consumer awareness, storytelling and category promotion for natural diamonds across international markets.
Through the India Pavilion and Design Gallery, India is not only showcasing products but also presenting a broader vision of creativity, craftsmanship and design leadership to the global jewellery community.
