A legacy of trust, a future of precision.

Since 1972, BAJUS has stood as the unified voice of jewellers across Bangladesh — advocating ethical practice, hallmark standards, and the global advancement of our craft.

About BAJUS

Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) is a non-political, non-profitable, and service-oriented traditional trade organization registered under the Companies Act of 1913 and licensed by the Ministry of Commerce. We are a first-class active member of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI).

Although the Bangladesh Jeweller’s Association started its activities to transform the post-independence war-torn country into the golden Bengal of dreams, with the aim of expanding the domestic gold industry and economic emancipation, it overcame various adversities and became institutionalized on Thursday 12th May 1984.

Since its inception, the main objective of Bangladesh Jeweller’s Association has been to ensure customer service, patronize the domestic gold industry and safeguard the interests of jewellery traders. To this end, BAJUS has district committees in every district of the country, which are represented by the Central Committee. At present Bangladesh Jeweller’s Association has about 18 (eighteen) thousand members.

BAJUS determines the price of gold in the domestic market, taking into account the international market, the domestic market and the general consumer. We coordinate with various government ministries and agencies, outlining the development of the jewellery industry and its significant contribution to the national economy, and promote rules and regulations among the members for proper and competitive business expansion.

There is a huge demand for Bangladeshi jewellery exports to developed countries like Europe, the Middle East, America, and Canada. Any handmade product is highly valued in the world market. The goldsmiths of Bangladesh make jewellery very meticulously which is not possible on machines, meaning our handmade jewellery is uniquely sought after. With preferential trade facilities (GSP) in European countries, there is a potential to export jewellery worth around Tk 7,000 crore.
