Mumbai: India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) has announced 8th April 2026 as the date for the prestigious Artisan Jewellery Design Awards 2026. Official theme of the Award is “Quantum Couture – Re-Engineering Beauty and Cultural Codes.”

The GJEPC team declared, “We are honoured to welcome Lucia Silvestri, the creative force behind some of Bvlgari’s most iconic masterpieces, as the Chief Guest at The Artisan Jewellery Design Awards 2026. When Italian elegance meets timeless brilliance, magic is inevitable.

“A name synonymous with bold creativity, rare gemstones, and unmistakable glamour — her presence marks a defining moment for the world of jewellery design,” it said.

The 2026 edition impels participants to push boundaries, move beyond boxed thinking and convention, and create wearable art for an evolving world—where jewellery design  and technology coexist in a meaningful manner.  “Quantum Couture” shifts the focus from simply preserving form to translating meaning through a lens of “augmented imagination.”
