“During the recently concluded GJS 2025 – Diwali Edition, I interacted with a few exhibitors to gauge the current market sentiment. When asked a simple yet crucial question – ‘Where is the buyer spending today?’ – the majority of jewellers observed a clear shift in preference: plain gold jewellery is outpacing studded jewellery. Interestingly, this trend is not limited to domestic buyers; a similar pattern is being witnessed among international jewellery consumers as well.  

Looking at India’s gold jewellery export basket, the segment of studded gold jewellery has shown only marginal cumulative growth between April and August 2025, with a noticeable decline in August exports. On the other hand, plain gold jewellery continues to dominate demand.  

Gold has long been on an upward trajectory, but global uncertainties and geopolitical pressures affecting liquidity have further fuelled its price rise. This, in turn, is shaping buyer behaviour. More and more consumers are choosing gold as a safe-haven investment, and when it comes to jewellery, the inclination is clearly towards plain gold pieces over studded categories.  

Gold is not just shining; it is also redefining buying trends. Today, the investment mindset of buyers is visibly tilting towards plain gold jewellery,” remarked Nayan Jani, Editor – GJ Town India, as he reflected in his journalist’s diary.
