The Imitation Jewelry Industry of India witnessed a huge make-over, a revolution! It was the first time ever in the history of the Fashion Jewelry & Fashion Accessories industry of India, that a trade exhibition of such large a magnitude was organized. The success story had just started. It was the “India International Fashion Jewellery & Accessories Show 2009”.

The THIRD Edition of this “only exclusive” trade fair for the fashion jewelry & fashion accessories industry in India was inaugurated by one of the most renowned names in the jewelry industry of India, and Ex-Chairman of the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council, Mr. Sanjay Kothari. The Chief Guest couldn’t stop himself from getting impressed by the drastic and tremendous change & growth and the extravagant presentation of the fair. His praises and compliments expressed that the show and the industry was now no-less than the diamond & gold jewelry industry. And agreeing to his thoughts were the hundreds of visitors from the diamond & gold Jewelry industry, who have already made their minds to switch-over to the industry of Artificial Fashion Jewelry, keeping in mind the rise in demand for artificial jewelry & the downfall in gold & diamond.

Held from the 22nd – 25th of January 2009, at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, India, the exhibition witnessed a grand flow of potential and quality trade buyers, designers & companies of allied industries from almost all corners of India and internationally from USA, UK, Brazil, Gulf, Italy, Greece and neighboring Asian countries. With the look of the fair being extraordinarily presentable and just perfect, this 4-day even left no participant unsatisfied in any aspect. The order books apparently started getting flooded with enormous business orders from the first day itself, the trade visitors’ count of the event being over 8200 in just 4 days. This probably is the prime reason that ALL the participants have confirmed their participation for the fourth edition of IIFJAS, scheduled from the 24th – 27th February 2010 and that too with increased booth sizes.

Major participants that added-to and embellished the grand event were CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements, SIA, ESTELLE, ART GROUP, MAHI, ALEX INT’L, SWETA ART JEWELLERS, ART INDIA, SUNRISE GOLD, TRIBAL ZONE & TIP TOP FASHIONS among others. Another major asset to the show was the World’s Largest Ostrich Leather & Feather manufacturing company KLEIN KAROO – South Africa, which has been catering with its beautiful products to the world's best Fashion Designers & Labels. Also showcasing were companies from Korea & Hong Kong.

India, like rest of the world, is suffering from the recession trends in various market sectors, declining stock markets, downfall in realty estate investment & various businesses, also in gold and diamond, leading to financial crises. Imitation Jewellery Market is among such few sectors that is barely affected and doing it’s normal business. India is world’s 2nd largest manufacturer of Imitation Jewellery after China and has a world share of 8.30%. The annual Export Business Turnover of Imitation Jewellery of India for the year 2008 was Rupees 600 Crores and is expected to touch Rupees 1500 Crores by end of 2009. Indian Imitation Jewellery has got an Exports’ demand in various countries like USA, UK, Europe, Gulf, Canada, Australia and other Asian countries. This market will note a business raise of 20% in this year, and predicted to grow by another 20% in the next. The estimated business deals and enquiries during the fair recorded a business transaction of approximately 5.5 Crores and is expected to rise 10 times throughout the year, as per a survey and feedback from the participants.

With this tremendous response from the industry players, the show is expected to grow by 2-folds in the next edition and many who did not participate in this edition for various reasons are regretting and anxiously waiting to exhibit in the forthcoming edition. The fair has proved to be such an occasion that all major & small companies, trade bodies and various jewelry associations have joined hands to take this industry to the world level.
