Imitation Jewellery Manufacturers Association (IJMA) was established in 1986 by few farsighted entrepreneurs with virtuous motives, aimed towards bringing together all manufacturers to collectively endeavour to enhance the status of the industry that was facing a grave survival crisis owing to lack of proper infrastructure for production, poor marketing system and government apathy. As of now, IJMA proudly boasts of having more than 1500 members under its wings, thanks to their joint efforts and commitment towards their objectives.
