Jewellery Outlook Receives Indian Accolade

08 Aug 2025

Jewellery Outlook, a magazine founded by 30-year Reuters correspondent David Brough, has received an accolade from India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) for exceptional gems and jewellery journalism.

Brough received the accolade at a ceremony (pictured) during the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS Premiere), the country’s largest jewellery trade show, organised by the GJEPC, on August 1, 2025.

“The insightful coverage and dedication have greatly boosted industry visibility and growth,” said the citation honouring Jewellery Outlook, a leading UK-based international jewellery trade magazine, which has more than 33,000 Instagram followers (@jewelleryoutlook)

“Honouring your exceptional gems and jewellery journalism,” the citation from the GJEPC added.

The GJEPC is the state-backed body that promotes Indian gem and jewellery exports, worth tens of billions of dollars a year.

Brough had previously received an award from Thailand’s Commerce Ministry at the Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair in 2020 for Jewellery Outlook’s contribution in helping boost Thai gem and jewellery exports 

While working for Reuters in Rome, Brough, who joined the news organisation as a graduate trainee journalist, was co-winner with Brazilian journalist Marcelo Canellas of the 2002/03 A.H. Boerma award from the U.N. Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) for his reporting on hunger issues. 

Brough left Reuters in 2016 and subsequently developed Jewellery Outlook into a leading source of global jewellery and gemstone industry news and insights, with a prolific Instagram coverage.

He has a very strong bond with India and with the community of British Asian retail and wholesale jewellers in his home country, the UK.

In the UK jewellery industry, Brough has collaborated with the NAJ, Retail Jeweller, the Company of Master Jewellers (CMJ), and Jewellery Show.
