New Delhi [India], July 16 : In India, every family celebration comes alive with traditional attire and sparkling jewellery.

Whether it's a pair of earrings or a simple bindi, every piece holds meaning and memories".
Nitya Sharma, a client of Star Academy, said, "I truly agree and strongly agree to this point that jewellery is the game changer, I feel like. I mean, they gave me jewellery according to my outfit. I had searched for it in many places. It happens that one eye is like, yeah, this is the perfect one for my big day. But, they found out everything. And, they gave me the best-suited jewellery. I am very happy with the result".
With the soaring popularity of artificial jewellery across India, the Indian Fashion Jewellery and Accessories Show 2025 lit up the stage for the country's dynamic and fast-growing fashion jewellery industry.

Sagar Mehta, Vice Chairman of the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts, shared that "fashion trends are increasingly leaning towards materials suited for summer," adding, "We work extensively with seashells, intricate beadwork, and wooden productsareas that have always been India's strengths. I believe the future looks promising, as many countries are now supporting Made in India products, especially handcrafted items.

You can do so much more with it, you can embellish it on clothing, you can, it's often less expensive, so you can have charms, bag charms, hair accessories".
Another visitor from New Delhi, Sagarika Choudhary, said, "I believe that for women, jewellery has always been more than just an accessoryit's a powerful form of self-expression. For centuries, and even today, it holds deep emotional value. Sometimes we wear it to feel beautiful, other times to carry memories or traditions.
