IIJS Bharat Signature 2026: Why the Global Jewellery Industry Is Heading to Mumbai

If you think IIJS Bharat Signature is just another trade show, you may want to think again.

Scheduled from 8 to 12 January 2026 in Mumbai, IIJS Bharat Signature has positioned itself as one of the most important global jewellery sourcing platforms, bringing together international buyers, Indian manufacturers, exporters, designers, and MSMEs under one roof for five days of focused business.

This is not about casual browsing. This is where real buying decisions are made.

Every year, IIJS Bharat Signature attracts buyers and sellers from across the world, offering direct access to new suppliers, emerging collections, and fresh opportunities within India’s vast jewellery ecosystem. The event plays a critical role in connecting global demand with India’s manufacturing strength.

For 2026, the show carries the theme Brilliant Bharat, putting the spotlight firmly on India’s timeless jewellery art forms. Traditional crafts such as Banarasi Meenakari and intricate Filigree work take centre stage, celebrated through a first-of-its-kind jewellery craft competition that honours skill, heritage, and innovation.

But IIJS Bharat Signature is not limited to design and craftsmanship alone. The platform also addresses the real-world challenges facing the jewellery trade today. From guiding MSMEs through evolving global trade dynamics to discussions around recent US tariff hikes, the show aims to provide clarity, insight, and solutions in an increasingly complex market.

Visitors can also expect curated knowledge sessions, high-impact networking opportunities, and direct engagement with India’s finest manufacturers and exporters. It is this combination of commerce, craft, and conversation that gives IIJS Bharat Signature its relevance on the global stage.

At its core, the show has two clear missions:
to bring the world to India, and to connect global buyers with the right Indian sellers.

I’ll be covering IIJS Bharat Signature 2026 from Mumbai for ReviewRon.ae, bringing you insights, conversations, and on-ground perspectives from one of the most closely watched jewellery events of the year.

If you’re part of the jewellery business and not planning your presence here, it may be worth asking why.
