IGI
India certifies 24 lakh
pieces
of diamond jewellery in 2018
The
International Gemological Institute (IGI), the largest global independent gem
certification and appraisal institute in India, has certified over 24 lac
pieces of diamond jewelry at the laboratory based out of India alone, in 2018.
The rise in number is clearly a sign of a more informed and conscious customer
base becoming persistent on a certificate from an international certifying
authority of repute, says Mr. Tehmasp Printer, Managing Director, IGI –India.
IGI
unveiled 1,000+ certified new designs in association with prominent diamond
jewellery manufacturers at a recent Buyer-Seller Knowledge Meet. The purity of
the wonderful new trendy collections is assured by IGI Certificate.
The
industry has started developing concepts for the dreams and aspirations of
Venus, giving diamonds, gemstone and fine diamond jewelry a redefined
personality. The broad trends predicted for 2019 only foresee an affinity for
contemporary designs combined with layered creations. Designers are of the
opinion that the year is about to experience jewelry from a novel perspective.
The
Indian wedding scenario is also undergoing a transition with the trousseau. No
look is complete without a touch of Polki and Jadau and chokers with large
colored gemstone and rough patterns are sure to be the most sought after
wedding fashion statement.
An
internal research house has projected a healthy growth clip for 2020 with
projected global sales of Indian jewelry designs €250 billion by 2020. Jewelry
market of 2020 will be highly dynamic, globalized and competitive. Indian
designs are sure to make its mark in the international markets. It’s a
celebration of elegant designs and the world is watching creative pursuits of
Indian craftsmen become the next big thing.
Mr.
Printer says, “The year 2018 has witnessed a paradigm shift in the preference
for diamond jewelry among consumers. From traditional choices in designs, the
focus is now on designs that define the individual adorning them. The thin line
between fine jewelry and fashion jewelry is now thinning due to the ability of
consumer segments to purchase luxury products for themselves. The increase in
India’s overall rate of purchasing power has proved to boost the sale of fine
diamond jewelry.”
From
fancy diamond bracelets to polka necklaces, the demand for design oriented
jewelry pieces is on the rise since the first quarter of 2018. Fashion fusion
was yet another fad with temple gold jewelry getting uplift with diamonds. The
use of precious and semi-precious stones was a trend that challenged
conventional gold jewelry designs. Consumer segments that enjoy a greater share
in the purchase aggregate prefer elaborate necklaces with solitaires.
This
section shows an incline towards single large, precious gemstone cocktail rings
and an overall increase in their knowledge about certified jewelry has led to
an upward growth in certified jewelry purchase. The diamond jewelry segment has
carved a niche for itself among high net income persons and women who now
decide about jewelry purchases without any external interference.
The
idea of a perfect solitaire engagement ring is still nestled and the industry
has witnessed a rise in the sale of such unique pieces, often customized to the
like of the customer. Women who nursed the idea of being gifted a diamond ring
have now taken the helm of this pre-conceived notion and are exploring the
avenue all by themselves.
