GJEPC Holding Jewelry Trends Seminar in Mumbai

(IDEX Online News) – The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) is organizing a trends seminar about jewelry by Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting on February 25 and 26 in Mumbai.

The two day seminar aims to educate members of the gem and jewelry industry on the latest jewelry trends in the European and US markets. Trendvision is a consulting firm based in Italy and an independent division of Fiera di Vicenza (Vicenza Fair).

Indian gem and jewelry exports to the United States last year amounted to $4.93 billion and to Europe totaled $3.31 billion.

GJEPC Chairman Vipul Shah said, “Indian products have without doubt created a niche due to the industry's flair of combining contemporary sensibilities with traditional aesthetics. The US and Europe remain major markets for Indian exports, so understanding the trends prevalent in these countries is imperative."

Meanwhile, Paolo De Luca, Creative Director and Forecaster for Trendvision, said, “We hope the seminar will provide the Indian gem and jewelry industry with the strategic direction that is required at this point in time to compete at the global level."
