Highlights from the Silver Show of India (Mumbai)

The Silver Show of India (2024) at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai was a landmark event for the Indian silver industry, and the GlamBug team was there.

Updated October 2026 with a buyer's guide to using a trade show well.

We went as visitors, not exhibitors. This post explains what we went to look for, and how a jewellery business can get real value out of a show like this.

Why we attended

Our aim was to explore craftsmanship, global trends and sourcing opportunities from across India and abroad. In practice that meant:

• Looking at craftsmanship up close. From Italian chain artistry to innovative handmade designs, a show lets you handle pieces that you would otherwise only see in photos.
• Studying design direction. Seeing many suppliers side by side shows which patterns are spreading and which are fading.
• Meeting suppliers. We met several reputed suppliers and strengthened trade relationships for upcoming collections.

What we saw shaped how we choose products and how we think about quality, and the same thinking runs through our later work on sourcing and our quality process.

A guide to using a silver trade show

Before you go

• Decide your purpose. Are you sourcing, comparing, or looking for ideas? A clear aim stops a day from dissolving into browsing.
• Know your customers and budget. Write down what sells in your shop, at what price, so you can judge pieces against it.
• Carry a checklist. Weight, finish, clasp, plating and the purity mark, the same details we list in our video call checklist.

At the show

• Handle the pieces. Check the polish, the joins, the clasps and the weight, and compare the same product across stands.
• Ask about origin and marks. Ask where each range is made, and what the marks on the piece mean.
• Ask for terms, not only prices. Minimum quantities, delivery times and how a mismatch with the sample is handled.
• Take notes and photos of what you liked, with the stand and contact.

After the show

• Order a small lot first. Judge the finishing against what you saw.
• Verify the supplier. Use the steps in our guide to verifying a silver supplier.
• Follow up while it is fresh, before your memory of the pieces fades.

If you cannot travel

Not every business can spend days at a show. A live look is still possible on a video call, and the B2B app shows the catalogue with weights and rates.
