This much-anticipated reunion in Kolkata, a city synonymous with timeless artistry, celebrates the sector’s growth and resilience. As we host leading brands and designs from the region, we aim to foster meaningful connections and inspire innovation to shape a brighter future for the industry.”

A Celebration of Excellence
Apart from the business showcase, KJGF 2024 is a celebration of the region’s cultural and economic significance in the jewellery industry. Day 1 saw the grand unveiling of the Jewellery Legends of East India Awards, honouring visionaries whose exceptional contributions have set benchmarks in the sector. Day 2 will feature insightful sessions, including “Unlocking Growth in Retail Expansion” by Pritesh Desai and a special discussion by Rapaport on “Essentials and Key Challenges in the Natural Diamond Industry.” With over 2,500 trade visitors expected, the fair serves as a dynamic platform for collaboration between wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers, and exporters, facilitating growth and innovation in East India’s jewellery sector.

The Legacy Continues
KJGF 2024 builds on Informa Markets’ legacy of curating world-class jewellery shows, including the Hong Kong Jewellery Fair, the Delhi Jewellery & Gem Fair (DJGF), and the Hyderabad Jewellery Fair (HJF). The fair offers pre-scheduled meetings, interactive product showcases, and engaging knowledge sessions, all conducted under Informa Markets’ AllSecure Guidelines to ensure a safe and productive environment.
As Kolkata’s jewellers continue to gain international recognition and demand rises from neighbouring markets like Bangladesh, KJGF 2024 stands as a testament to the region’s enduring influence in the global jewellery industry. From exquisite traditional designs to modern innovations, the fair promises to reignite connections and drive growth for East India’s jewellery sector.
