The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has marked its 21st consecutive participation at JCK Las Vegas 2026, showcasing India’s growing strength in jewellery manufacturing, craftsmanship, innovation and design through the India Pavilion and India Design Gallery.
Held at The Venetian Expo from May 29 to June 1, the India Pavilion features 33 leading Indian exporters across a 3,900 sq. ft. exhibition space, presenting a broad spectrum of jewellery products ranging from natural diamonds and gold jewellery to high-end couture collections.
The pavilion was inaugurated by Dr. K. J. Srinivasa, Consul General of India in Los Angeles, in the presence of GJEPC Chairman Kirit Bhansali and senior industry representatives.
Positioned under GJEPC’s “Brilliant Bharat” initiative, the India Pavilion reflects India’s evolution from a manufacturing hub to a global design-led sourcing destination. The exhibit highlights India’s capabilities across natural diamonds, studded jewellery, gold jewellery and premium jewellery collections tailored for international markets.
A key attraction this year is the India Design Gallery, which showcases 26 award-winning creations from the Artisan Jewellery Design Awards 2026. Curated by internationally recognised jewellery trend forecaster Paola De Luca, the exhibition explores the theme “Quantum Couture” through three design narratives — Embroidery, Micro Painting and Poetic Layers.
Commenting on the participation, Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, said:
“For over two decades, GJEPC has maintained a strong presence at JCK Las Vegas, and our 21st year marks a significant evolution in how we present Indian craftsmanship to the world. With 33 exporters across 3,900 sq. ft., we are not just showcasing products; we are showcasing India’s capability as a design-led manufacturing powerhouse. By blending our ancestral savoir-faire with modern innovation, we have ensured that the India Pavilion offers a vision of jewellery that is innovative, market-ready, and deeply rooted in excellence, reinforcing our position as the world’s preferred sourcing destination.”
Speaking about the India Design Gallery, Bhansali added:
“The India Design Gallery reflects the creative evolution of Indian jewellery, where heritage craftsmanship meets contemporary design thinking. By showcasing exceptional creations from the Artisan Jewellery Design Awards 2026, we are presenting India’s growing capabilities as a global hub for design-led jewellery innovation.”
The exhibition reinforces India’s position as one of the world’s most diversified jewellery manufacturing ecosystems, supported by advanced production capabilities, skilled artisans, design expertise and a strong export network serving global retailers and brands.
