A Journey from Inception to Glory
The Jaipur Jewellery Show (JJS), fondly known as the “December Show,” has grown into India’s premier jewellery exhibition. Launched in 2003, the show began with a vision to create a global platform that showcases Jaipur’s rich heritage in gemstones and jewellery craftsmanship. Over the years, JJS has evolved from a regional event into an internationally recognized extravaganza, bringing together the finest artisans, designers, and traders in the industry. This year, the theme of the show is ‘Rubies… Rare, Royal, and Revered’, highlighting the timeless allure and significance of this precious gemstone. The JJS-Ruby Promotion Group too has been recently launched to promote the Ruby.
Why Jaipur? The Gemstone Capital of the World
Jaipur, synonymous with exquisite gemstones and jewellery craftsmanship, was the natural choice for this grand event. The city’s centuries-old legacy of gemstone cutting, polishing, and jewellery artistry lends JJS its unique charm.
The Genesis of JJS: From Vision to Reality
Founded two decades ago, JJS began as a modest initiative to promote Jaipur’s gem and jewellery industry. Over the years, it has blossomed into one of India’s premier jewellery exhibitions, showcasing the finest handcrafted jewels, gemstones, and design innovations. The show serves as a platform for artisans, designers, and brands to converge, sharing ideas and celebrating their craft.
