Retail and wholesale buyers turned out in strength at an inaugural Buyer-Seller Meet (BSM) organised by India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) in London.

The event, which took place at Arsenal stadium in north London on July 8-9, 2025, was a showcase for Indian manufacturers, presenting their goods in hospitality boxes overlooking the pitch, and was attended by buyers from across the UK, as well as representatives from jewellery manufacturers and the hallmarking community.

The GJEPC seized the opportunity from a landmark India-UK trade deal announced earlier this year, to boost trading links with the UK’s gemstone and jewellery market.

India is a leading supplier of manufactured and handcrafted jewellery, polished diamonds and gemstones, to markets around the world. GJEPC spearheads the push to boost Indian gem and jewellery exports.

Commercial links between the UK and India are vibrant because of the two countries’ intertwined histories and a large population of British South Asian people currently residing in the UK.

That population segment is served by an estimated 800-900 British South Asian jewellers in the UK, who predominantly supply high-value 22-carat gold jewellery.
