The Delhi fair will provide a platform to manufacturers and retailers from the jewellery sector to network and create business ahead of the festive and wedding season in October.

The fair is recognized as an integral part of the jewellery sector by associations and the industry at large with support from eminent associations namely, Karol Bagh Jewellers' Association, Delhi Bullion & Jewellers Association, Delhi Jewellers Association, Uttarakhand State Jewellers Association, and Maliwara Jewellers Association.

With over 250 participating exhibitors, the show has truly evolved as the biggest jewellery and gemstone sourcing destination for jewellers. The upcoming show will see many industry players attend: jewellery wholesalers, retailers, importers and exporters, jewellery manufacturers, diamond, gemstone, pearl suppliers and traders, precious metal and jewellery mounting traders and suppliers, and representatives from trade and governmental organizations -- all coming under one roof to meet, connect, network and grow their business.

A 'Knowledge Seminar' by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is also one of the highlights of the fair.

Speaking on the announcement of the 5th edition of DJGF and the ever-growing prospects of the jewellery industry in North India, Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said: "India is one of the largest exporters of gems and jewellery, and the industry is considered to play a vital role in the Indian economy as it contributes a major chunk to the total foreign reserves of the country.

The Delhi fair is part of our constant endeavour to provide a platform to manufacturers and retailers of this sector, to meet, network and create business, prior to the all-important festive and wedding season."
