The Rise of Lab-Grown Diamonds at Bharat Mandapam
One of the most significant shifts for the 2026 season is the explosive growth of Lab-Grown Diamonds (LGDs). At DJGF Signature, a dedicated section will showcase how LGDs are reshaping modern luxury.
- Market Momentum: Driven by their eco-friendly appeal and affordability, LGDs are now a primary highlight of jewelry trends, moving from niche curiosities to "daily luxury" staples.
- Sourcing Advantage: Retailers are increasingly looking for LGD solitaires and statement pieces (like the highly searched 3-carat lab-grown rings) to offer premium shine without the premium mined-diamond price tag.
Top 5 Polki Trends to Watch
Traditional Jadau and Polki are undergoing a "Modern Heritage" revival in 2026, moving away from heavy, over-the-top designs:
- Pastel Meenakari: Deep reds are being replaced by soft mint greens, powder blues, and blush pinks to match modern bridal lehengas.
- Open, Airy Settings: New "feather-light" chokers and earrings use open settings that reduce gold weight while maintaining a bold, royal silhouette.
- Convertible Masterpieces: High demand for versatile pieces, such as long haars that detach into chokers or pendants for multiple-occasion wear.
- Minimalist Royalism: Smaller Polki studs and sleek bangles are trending for sangeet nights and modern festive dinners.
- Gemstone Infusions: Bold use of "hero" stones like Tanzanite, Morganite, and Emeralds as central design elements rather than just accents.
The Buyer’s Guide: Maximizing ROI as a First-Time Visitor
Attending a major B2B fair can be overwhelming. To ensure your visit to Bharat Mandapam is profitable, follow this strategic roadmap:
- Pre-Show Reconnaissance: Use the official show website to explore the exhibitor list and product categories in advance. Identify key suppliers of specialized items like "Casting Jewellery" or "Contemporary Designs".
- Spot the Early Deals: Many exhibitors offer discounted rates or special deals for space and inventory booked at least three months in advance of major exhibitions.
- Leverage Knowledge Sessions: Attend the curated conference and podcast sessions. These often cover the future of LGD markets, sustainability, and AI's role in retail design by 2030.
- On-the-Spot Closures: Whenever possible, aim to close deals on the floor. Most trade fair attendees are already pre-qualified, making it a high-intent environment where spot-buys capitalize on the current market mood.
- Network Post-Show: If you can't finalize a deal during the fair, set up follow-up appointments for the week immediately after to maintain momentum.
