SIGNATURE IIJS
Signature IIJS is a product-focused show that caters to the
sourcing needs of India’s leading retailers and provides them
a unique platform to transact business in style and comfort.
The 9th edition of Signature IIJS was held from 5th – 8th
February 2016 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai.
With over 580 exhibitors and 1100 booths, the show was
bigger than ever before. The edition was a great platform that
allowed the Gem & Jewellery industry an excellent business
opportunity to explore the various aspects - particularly the
growth in its business and economic development. Moreover,
it gave opportunity for networking and connecting with the
potential buyers and suppliers; nearly all the exhibitors were
satisfied with the number of new clients they made during
the show.
Showcasing the best jewellery collections by the country’s
leading manufacturers, Signature IIJS focussed on products
– jewellery of the highest standards of design, craftsmanship
and finish. Exhibitors showcased their innovative products in
each of the sections – Plain Gold, Studded Jewellery, Loose
Stones and Signature club. Along with traditional designs,
more of contemporary, light-weight and innovative designs in
gold as well as studded jewellery segments were showcased.
The show had visitors from across India and from international
countries such as UK, Japan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Sri
Lanka, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh & Nepal, etc. The show saw
participation of National visitors from the Indian metro cities
(Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, etc.) and also
