Legacy brand Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers receives IAGES accreditation

Family-run legacy brand Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar (JGP) Jewellers has reinforced its commitment to transparency, accountability and consumer trust, with the Indian Association for Gold Excellence and Standards (IAGES) accreditation, it has received across its 24 stores in Maharashtra and Goa.

As India’s gold industry steadily moves towards greater formalisation, legacy jewellers remain aligned on the need for standard, structured frameworks and ethical practices across the entire gold value chain. The IAGES accreditation is a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) established by and for the Indian gold industry to bring clarity and accountability among retailers, manufacturers, refiners, bullion traders, assaying and hallmarking centres and digital gold sellers across all their business practices. The IAGES accreditation is awarded only after a comprehensive assessment is conducted by an independent third-party assesor.

Established in 1950, Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers brings over 75 years of quality craftsmanship and traditional jewellery designs for a growing base of customers across generations.

“We’ve successfully built our brand over seven decades on pillars of trust, authenticity and transparency. The IAGES accreditation further reinforces our promise to consumers that they will always be welcomed with the highest values and the promise of ethical sourcing and transparent business practices when they walk into any of our stores. We look forward to working together with our contemporaries to reshape the gold industry into becoming a globally accepted, future-ready reality,” said Anand Pednekar, Director, Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers.
