It’s truly heartwarming to witness how GJEPC is shaping a brighter future for countless lives in need. Initiatives like Jewellers for Hope remind us that your gem and jewellery industry has the power to create lasting change, inspiring others to contribute and join this noble journey of hope, care, and transformation. Continue to shine in your commitment to making a difference.”

Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC, said, ' Jewellers for Hope is an annual event where GJEPC mobilizes our entire industry to raise funds for organizations dedicated to education, health, women's empowerment, and the welfare of marginalized communities. Since its inception in 2014, Jewellers for Hope has contributed crores to NGOs, leaving a lasting impact on countless lives”

Collectively and individually, through the efforts of many unsung heroes from the industry, we tirelessly work to uplift the underprivileged and bring about positive change in the society.”  

Paul Rowley, Executive Vice President, Diamond Trading, De Beers Group, said, 'GJEPC's Jewellers for Hope reminds us of the power that our industry wields to change people's lives for the better. Natural diamonds do spread hope. It is the core of our business to help create a positive impact on people and society of the areas where diamonds are found and curated. Such events enhance our industry's reputation and reinforce a deep connection between diamonds and positive social change. I congratulate GJEPC for supporting so many causes over the last 10 years. The charity and generosity of jeweller exporters exemplify the ‘forever impact’ aspect of natural diamonds. Our journey is about seizing opportunities and making a lasting difference. The beauty of natural diamonds is about the stories of journey comprising optimism, resilience and determination as well as the hope that these diamonds spread.'

Sachin Jain, Regional CEO India, World Gold Council (WGC), said, “Charity is a way of life in India and embedded in our culture as much as spirituality is. It reflects who we are and how we give back to society. We do it for our own selves. Today businesses are judged on a holistic basis with respect to sustainability, environmental, social impact and governance; and not just profits and valuations. Individually, we are good but collectively we can all be absolutely amazing.”

Our industry values craftsmanship but also embraces giving. I am proud to be part of our industry which makes a collective effort to contribute to betterment of society. We work with GJEPC on the Swasthya Kosh programmes to help thousands of workers. Every small act of kindness contributes to a larger changes. As Mahatma Gandhi said, the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of the nation.”
