In an industry where beauty meets precision, quality is not just a standard—it’s a promise. For jewelry manufacturers operating within India’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), this promise carries global weight.
From stringent audits to international certifications, SEZ-based jewelry units are not only export powerhouses—they are centers of quality, ethics, and innovation. Here’s how.
🛠️ 1. World-Class Infrastructure Backed by SEZ Policies
SEZs are designed to boost exports, and that includes providing cutting-edge industrial infrastructure:
- Dust-free polishing and finishing rooms
- Secure vaults for precious metals and stones
- Skilled artisan training zones
- Government support for machinery import and tech upgrades
Gallant Jewelry Creations, for example, operates three SEZ manufacturing units equipped with: âś… Advanced casting and CAD technology âś… Dedicated QC labs âś… Skilled artisans trained in European, Middle Eastern, and American styles
🏷️ 2. Global Certifications: The Seal of Trust
To meet international compliance and buyer expectations, SEZ units align with globally recognized standards:
- ✅ ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management Systems
- ✅ BSCI (Amfori) – Ethical production and social compliance
- ✅ SMETA (Sedex) – Transparent labor and environmental practices
- ✅ D-U-N-S Verified – Global business credibility and traceability
“Certifications are not checkboxes—they are commitments. At Gallant Jewelry Creations, we see them as trust signals for our buyers across 40+ countries,” says Mr. Arvind Gupta, MD – Gallant Jewelry Creations.
🔍 3. Multi-Layered Quality Control at Every Stage
From rough gemstone sorting to final polish, SEZ units implement stage-by-stage QC:
- ✔️ Incoming raw material inspection
- ✔️ Casting and setting quality control
- ✔️ Micro QC at each production checkpoint
- ✔️ Final piece audits under 10x magnification
- ✔️ Independent third-party inspections when required
This helps maintain consistency across thousands of SKUs, even for high-volume export orders.
🌍 4. Buyer-Specific Customization & Compliance
Global retailers demand compliance with specific standards:
- REACH compliance in Europe (non-toxic, safe metals)
- Nickel-free alloys for US and UK markets
- Custom hallmarking based on country norms (BIS, 925, etc.)
SEZ-based manufacturers are uniquely positioned to adapt quickly, thanks to:
- On-site labs
- In-house design & prototyping
- Direct access to customs and export documentation
🗣️ MD’s Perspective: Mr. Arvind Gupta Speaks
“SEZ units offer not just tax advantages—but the opportunity to build world-class manufacturing systems. At Gallant Jewelry Creations, we’ve invested heavily in our people, processes, and certifications so that our buyers—whether in Paris, Dubai, or New York—receive jewelry that reflects Indian craftsmanship and global quality.”
