(PRESS RELEASE) MUMBAI — After the tremendous success of IIJS Premiere in Bengaluru in September 2021, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) announces the dates and venue for the 14th edition of IIJS Signature. The show will be held from 6th to 9th January 2022 at JIO World Convention Centre (JWCC), a prestigious new exhibition space in Mumbai.

IIJS Signature will be the first-ever exhibition to be organised at JWCC. With more than 1400 stalls, IIJS Signature will be held in 2 Halls on two floors with a huge concourse area (Pre-Function area), the pillarless Jasmine Hall measuring 10,000 sq m, and the Pavilion Hall spanning15,000 sq m.

With state-of-the-art facilities and located in the heart of the city, across the street from the Bharat Diamond Bourse, the JWCC will offer a new experience for exhibitors and visitors.

Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, “With USD 18984.49 million exports during April-September, and after the stupendous success of the first mega exhibition in India, IIJS Premiere in Bengaluru, our sector has already achieved nearly half (46%) of the USD 41.66 billion G&J exports target set by the Govt. IIJS Signature, the first Gem & Jewellery trade show of the next calendar year, would help to keep up the momentum and reach our export target for the fiscal year. Mumbai has always been the home ground for IIJS Exhibitions and we are elated to host IIJS Signature in Mumbai.”

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
