There has been a shift in fine jewellery towards luxury trends, with a focus on statement pieces and bolder styles. Factors driving this change include the desire for individuality, social media influence, changing demographics, a preference for quality over quantity, the perception of jewellery as wearable art, the impact of the evolving fashion industry, customisation options, and exposure to diverse cultural designs. As a response, fine jewellery designers and brands are incorporating bolder styles to cater to the evolving demands of luxury consumers seeking self-expression and individuality in their choice.
India’s spending power and appetite for luxury goods has been on the rise due to its growing economy. Several factors contribute to this trend, such as rising income levels, the cultural significance of jewellery, changing consumer preferences, growing awareness and exposure to global trends, retail expansion of major luxury jewellery brands, and the significant demand during wedding and festive seasons.
The future of luxury jewellery looks promising with continued growth and evolving trends. Increasing awareness and exposure to global luxury brands will expand the market and lead to diverse designs. Customisation, e-commerce, sustainability, and technology will play key roles, and digital marketing and influencer collaborations will drive the industry forward. To thrive, jewellers are adapting to changing demands while upholding craftsmanship and quality that defines luxury jewellery’s appeal.

2023 is set to be the year of bold, statement-making jewellery that adds a touch of glamour and sophistication. A stunning pair of luxe earrings or a stunning bracelet never fails to bring the ideal finishing touch to any outfit, and accessories are the most adaptable pieces in one’s wardrobe. Vintage designs and heirloom pieces passed down generations are definitely here to stay this season. Apart from their sentimental value, heirlooms add a personal connection and allow one to embrace and celebrate one’s roots. It is a perfect way to add emotion in an ensemble. No other accessories, whether contemporary or classic, have the distinct ability to provide that punch of pure individuality except bold-statement vintage jewellery.
The luxury market is well poised to see positive growth. Thanks to our economic development, greater connectedness, and policy reforms, there is a plethora of opportunities for luxury companies to serve the young, affluent and confident Indian consumers. Post- Covid, most of the businesses seem to be recovering including the luxury sector. Consumers are ready to spend on weddings-due to smaller guest lists-which seems to be a great factor for the luxury sector, especially for jewellery.
