There is a need to shape the future through design innovations said Vipul Shah, Chairman, Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC).
“While India’s global leadership in the gem and jewellery business is an established fact, we need to shape the future where India is revered for its aesthetic artistry, design innovation and commitment to exquisite craftsmanship,” he said on the occasion of GJEPC Artisan Awards 2023 event in Mumbai.
“To cater to the evolving demands of the global market, we need a fresh wave of young and talented designers who eulogise the preferences of the millennial and Generation Z consumers. Their innovative approaches and creative sensibilities will shape the industry’s future trajectory,” he said.
Mr. Shah further added, “The Artisan Awards is one of the initiatives that nurtures talent, fuels inspiration, and encourages the next generation of jewellery designers to push the boundaries of their imagination. In a rapidly evolving gem and jewellery industry where innovation and fresh perspectives reign supreme, the Artisan Awards serves as a launching pad for emerging designers to make their mark.”
The GJEPC on Friday gave away Artisan Awards 2023 in its pursuit to identify new talents for churning out unique jewellery designs for the international markets.
The event showcased exceptional talent and creativity of jewellery designers from across the nation and around the world.
