DJGF Signature 2026 Hosts 150+ Exhibitors for Engagement and Wedding Sourcing

As retailers and designers readied for Akshaya Tritiya and the spring wedding season, the second edition of Delhi Jewellery & Gem Fair Signature 2026 took over Hall 1 at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan from 28 February to 2 March. Organised by Informa Markets in India, the three-day trade event positioned itself as North India’s premium B2B sourcing platform, bringing focused product launches and early access to collections.

Event materials promoted a concentrated floor plan of 150+ exhibitors representing more than 400 jewellery brands at the Signature edition, while other DJGF pages referenced the broader DJGF umbrella with figures of 600+ exhibitors and 1,200+ brands. Industry listings also recorded a slightly different footprint, noting the show had welcomed over 120 exhibitors representing more than 400 brands. The varying counts reflect a tight choreography between the Signature edition’s curated feel and the larger DJGF series’ scale.

Organisers and programme listings emphasised business facilitation: the fair featured curated B2B matchmaking sessions, structured hosted buyer meetings and a premium buyer ecosystem that materials described as including a 600 Premium Buyers Club membership. Obnews had noted the Signature edition was expected to attract more than 7,000 trade visitors and more than 400 VIP and curated hosted buyers, drawing senior retail decision-makers, trade government organisations and international sourcing delegates to Delhi.

The agenda mixed commercial showcases with content: more than 10 conference sessions, live podcast interactions and trend presentations explored design evolution, technology integration, policy shifts and changing consumer behaviour. Dedicated product zones were described as designed to provide early access to new collections, while exclusive product showcases and signature launches gave retailers front-line sightlines on gold, diamond, Polki and Jadau, fine and silver jewellery, loose gemstones, lab-grown jewellery and casting and packaging solutions.

Programming also spotlighted industry initiatives. The Retail Jewellers Guild Awards and the SHAKTI initiative appeared on the schedule, with organisers framing SHAKTI as a platform to recognise the contributions of women in the jewellery trade. The Signature edition was promoted as part of Informa Markets’ Festivity of Business series and ran alongside DJGF Silver Show features and curated precious metal showcases. Operationally, the organiser reiterated its 10 key commitment AllSecure safety guidelines and maintained official logistics and exhibitor contract procedures for brands and booths.

Event communications framed the fair as a strategic moment for the trade: promotional copy stated the Signature edition would “set the tone for the larger DJGF 2026 exhibition and contribute to strengthening North India’s position within the national and global jewellery landscape.” For jewellers sourcing engagement and wedding rings this season, the show offered concentrated access to new collections across traditional gold, Polki and diamond work as well as lab-grown and technology-led solutions, even as exhibitor counts across DJGF pages invited a closer look at which figures applied to the Signature footprint and which described the wider DJGF series.
