The 18th edition of IIJS Bharat-Signature is scheduled from January 8 2026 to January 12 2026 at the JIO World Convention Centre Bombay Exhibition Centre. The event is expected to unite the entire global gem and jewellery community under one roof. With a diverse array of exhibitors and industry leaders, the 18th edition promises to be a convergence of innovation, networking, and business opportunities.
IIJS Bharat Signature 2026, the first major B2B jewellery exhibition of the calendar year, is set to open its doors from January 8 to January 12 – it will be a dual-format event, with the show unfolding at JIO World Convention Centre (JWCC), Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai (January 8 to January 11 -- 10 am to 7 pm), and at Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Goregaon, Mumbai (January 9 to January 12 -- 11 am to 8 pm).
Over the years, IIJS Signature has emerged as a compact, business-driven exhibition designed to meet the immediate sourcing needs of retailers, manufacturers and exporters at the start of the year. With its sharp focus on commercially relevant product lines, and its strategic timing ahead of the wedding and festive buying cycles, the show has become an important barometer for market sentiment and design direction.
The 2026 edition is expected to feature over 1,600 exhibitors across gold jewellery, diamond jewellery, coloured gemstones, silver jewellery, loose diamonds and allied sectors, spread across a significant exhibition area. It is projected to attract over 25,000 trade visitors, including leading retail jewellers, buying heads, wholesalers and exporters from across India, as well as select international buyers. The India Gems & Jewellery Machinery Expo (IGJME) will run concurrently at BEC.
One of the defining highlights of IIJS Signature 2026 is its curated product mix, which reflects the evolving priorities of the Indian jewellery market. Exhibitors are expected to showcase a wide range of lightweight and everyday-wear gold jewellery, contemporary diamond jewellery, region-specific bridal collections, and design-forward offerings that balance aesthetics with price sensitivity.
Design innovation continues to be a core strength of IIJS Signature. This edition is likely to spotlight versatile, modular and customisation-friendly jewellery, catering to younger consumers and changing lifestyle preferences. From modern interpretations of traditional Indian motifs to globally inspired diamond designs, the show is set to offer a comprehensive snapshot of current and emerging trends in jewellery retail.
Beyond product sourcing, IIJS Signature 2026 will also serve as an important business and relationship-building platform. The dual-venue format allows for better segmentation of product categories, smoother visitor flow and a more focused buying experience. For retailers, the show will provide an opportunity to firm up purchases early in the year, while manufacturers will gain valuable insights into demand patterns and pricing expectations.
The salient features of the show include:
As the industry navigates shifting consumer behaviour, regulatory developments and global uncertainties, IIJS Signature 2026 stands as a symbol of continuity, confidence and preparedness. For the Indian jewellery trade, it will not be just the first show of the year — it is going to be a place where business strategies will be set in motion, and the tone for the year ahead will be defined.
