For years traders and vistors to India have enjoyed the craftsmanship, quality, design and cost efficiency -- now its time we return the gesture and bring the source to Dubai - the most promising destination for the gemstones and jewellery trade in recent times. GJEPC is pleased to collaborate with DMCC - it has established itself as the largest free zone in the UAE and the international leader for commodities trade and enterprise in just over a decade. It is DMCC's unrivalled track record combined with the determination to succeed that secured Dubai the inaugural Global Gem & Jewellery Fair 2014."
