India International Jewellery Show 2010 reported a success

According to Diamond World, the IIJS 2010 which concluded on the evening of August 23rd in Mumbai, was an overwhelmingly successful show with exhibitors and buyers across the board expressing satisfaction at both the business conducted and organization of the show.

Though at the time of writing the organizers had not finished compiling the statistics for the show, the report expresses little doubt that the fair  met all expectations prior to the show. The GJEPC had expected a visitor turnout of 30,000 visitors. A survey conducted by Diamond World on Day 4 (August 22) of the show reported that 80 percent of exhibitors had gained new clients and 72 percent reported a significant increase in business.

According to the report diamond jewellery is gaining ground rapidly and preferences move toward western or indo-western designs as compared to traditional Indian designs. Leightweight gold jewellery was in great demand in deference to the high price of gold.
