Bangalore: Seventy jewellers from several of parts of the country would take part in the fourth edition of "Jewels of India" exposition to be held in Bangalore from September 13 to 17.

The annual event would have exhibition and sale of gold, diamonds, gems and fine jewellery from across India, said Sandeep Bekal, Convenor of Expo World, which is organising the show, supported by the World Gold Council.

Jewellery valued at an estimated Rs 50 crore would be on display, Bekal told reporters.

It would showcase a range of jewellery from the exquisite Kundan and Meenakari work from Jaipur, well-known handcrafted jewellery from Kolkata and ethnic art forms from the South, among others.

There would also be display and sale of "South Sea Pearls" besides one of the country's oldest jewellery forms, Thewa, which would have its latest collection at the show. "Thewa is a Mogul art of fusing 23 K gold on glass," it was noted.
