Percept ICE IIJS Signature 2025 - Networking Night

Percept ICE conceptualized and executed the ‘IIJS (India International Jewellery Show) Signature 2025 - Networking Night’ featuring celebrated Indian musician Javed Ali and his band on January 4, 2025, at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. Organized for the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the evening also marked the launch of ‘Diamond Trails’, a visionary project spearheaded by acclaimed Canadian jewelry artist and diamond painter Reena Ahluwalia, as she unveiled five exquisite paintings celebrating the timeless allure of natural diamonds.

The GJEPC IIJS Signature Networking Night 2025 provided a platform for industry leaders to connect and collaborate over cocktails and dinner and set the stage for the 17th edition of the IIJS Signature Show, uniting the global gem and jewellery fraternity under one roof. The exclusive Networking and “Hall of Fame Awards” night welcomed over 2,000 distinguished guests, including celebrities and icons from the gems, jewellery, and fashion sectors.

The gala evening honored excellence with 12 Hall of Fame awards being handed out, celebrating Excellence and Women Entrepreneurs for their unwavering dedication, remarkable contributions and lasting legacy in the gems and jewellery industry. Prominent winners and celebrity guests at the event included Farah Khan Ali, Dr. Usha Balakrishnan, Revathi Kant, Vaishali Banerjee and Pallavi Foley. The night continued with a mesmerizing performance by legendary music artist Javed Ali and his band, setting a soulful tone for the event.

A standout moment was the unveiling of ‘Diamond Trails’, a visionary initiative led by renowned Canadian jewelry artist and diamond painter Reena Ahluwalia. Supported by a global collective of editors, content creators, and artists, this unique project showcased five breathtaking paintings, auctioned as part of GJEPC’s charity initiative. The paintings blended narrative and visual artistry, weaving tales of brilliance, craftsmanship and heritage, inviting guests to experience diamonds in an entirely new light.
