This year‘s show will be the Eleventh and most extravagant so far with an increase in the size of jewellery displayed, visitors and expected sales.

Backgrounder

Jewels of India

The first ´Jewels of India‘ retail Jewellery Exhibition was held in Bangalore ten years ago at Hotel Ashoka in August 1999. South India till then did not have any such exhibitions whereas they were happening frequently in cities such as New Delhi and Calcutta. As Bangalore is known for its fetish for gold and jewellery of all kinds, Mr. Sandeep Bekal of Expoworld hit upon the idea of hoisting a similar exhibition targetting Bangalore‘s Jewellery lovers. Thus the first “Jewels of India” began in 1999 and was launched by Mrs. Parvattamma Rajkumar. The masses loved it and the resounding feedback convinced the organizers to make it an annual event.

It was to portray the elegance, depth and substance in the show that the ´Jewels of India‘ organizers chose to have a brand ambassador who would convey the essence of the exhibition. In doing so, ´Jewels of India‘ became the only show of its kind to have brand ambassador. Some of the famed film personalities who have been part of Jewels of India over the years are Vani Ganapathy, Deepika Padukone, Shobana, Bhagyashree and many others.

The ´Jewels of India‘ has become an eagerly awaited retail exhibition by Bangaloreans for a variety of reasons. The huge participation of retail jewellers, collection of jewellery from all parts of the India, the quality of jewellery, the best of offers and deals and it being held just before the advent of festival season, makes the exhibition a hit among the jewellery lovers. The exhibition itself is organized with an eye for detail and assures the best of buying experience.
