Acing modern menswear with MEN OF PLATINUM
As the year draws to a close, men’s fashion takes a bold step into elevated sophistication. From tailored work-wear to polished leather accessories, the end of the year invites men to redefine their fashion narrative, merging timeless elegance with modern flair, and stepping into the new year with confidence and panache. To further elevate their style for various occasions, men can embrace the sophistication and timelessness of platinum jewellery by Men of Platinum. Be it formal events, corporate parties, casual gatherings with friends and families or even New Year’s Eve galas, Men of Platinum’s latest range of platinum jewellery is ideal to add a touch of subtle glam, refinement and sophistication to the year-end celebrations.
Men of Platinum’s latest range boasts a design language that is both unique and meaningful. Billions of years ago, a meteorite crash left behind remnants of this stunning white metal, and it has since been a symbol of what is truly rare and precious. Platinum never loses its naturally white sheen, just like the inimitable spirit of platinum men who forge their own path and aren’t afraid to create an exclusive style statement. Platinum’s story of origin too is as unique as the men that favour it. Designed to endure, it’s a metal that stays solid and strong despite years of wear and tear. Thus, never losing its form along the way. With a rare promise of 95% purity, platinum jewellery delivers the finest that the metal has to offer in every form. Each exquisite piece in this collection embodies the strength and essence of these rare men of character.

The Role Of Hallmarking and Transparency In Strengthening Consumer Confidence
By Suresh Krishnan, Vice President – Sales, PNG Jewellers
In India, jewellery is equally an emotional purchase and a significant financial transaction. As consumers become more informed and digitally empowered, trust is increasingly becoming a decisive factor alongside design, price and brand reputation. Hallmarking has played an important role in creating that trust by giving consumers third-party assurance of precious-metal purity.
India’s hallmarking ecosystem has expanded significantly. BIS data shows that hallmarking registrations increased from 34,647 to 1,37,315 between April 2021 and March 2022 *1, while more than 8.72 crore gold and silver articles were hallmarked during that year. The introduction of the six-digit Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) in 2021 has further strengthened traceability. Consumers can verify a gold article’s HUID through the BIS CARE app, adding an independent layer of assurance at the point of purchase.
For an organised retailer, this becomes particularly relevant as jewellery discovery increasingly moves online. A customer may discover a product on social media, compare it on an e-commerce platform and complete the transaction digitally. In such a journey, hallmarking helps bridge the trust gap created by the absence of physical touch and feel. When purity is independently verifiable, consumers can make online purchases with greater confidence.
The opportunity is also expanding beyond gold. BIS has brought both gold and silver under its hallmarking framework. In FY2024-25, more than 32 lakh silver jewellery articles*2 were hallmarked. The revised IS 2112:2025 introduced HUID-based hallmarking for silver on a voluntary basis from September 2025, creating greater traceability and consumer assurance in a category that is increasingly relevant to younger and value-conscious buyers.
This evolution matters commercially. KPMG’s India CX Report 2025*3 found that 27% of fine-jewellery customers are more confident in authenticity, quality and value when they trust a brand, while 9% said they would explore another brand if jewellery appeared overpriced for its quality. These findings underline why trust is not simply a compliance issue; it directly influences consideration and willingness to pay.
Contributing to the larger goal of organised and transparent trade, hallmarking has now been integrated as part of the broader customer experience across stores, CRM and e-commerce. As India’s jewellery market becomes increasingly omnichannel, the brands that communicate purity, pricing and policies clearly will be better positioned to convert digital discovery into purchase and, more importantly, build relationships that extend beyond a single transaction. The future of jewellery retail will therefore be defined not only by what consumers see, but by how confidently they can verify what they are buying and hallmarking takes care of that concern efficiently.
