CBIC consolidates customs notifications on precious metals and gemstones
In a move aimed at simplifying compliance and promoting ease of doing business, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has consolidated multiple earlier notifications governing the import of precious metals and stones among other goods into a single comprehensive notification – No. 45/2025-Customs, issued on 24th October 2025.
The unified notification brings under one umbrella all previous duty-related circulars for gold, silver, platinum, diamonds (natural and lab-grown), and coloured gemstones. It replaces a wide range of earlier notifications dating back to 1994, without altering the prevailing duty or IGST rates.
As per the consolidated schedule, rough diamonds continue to attract zero duty, while rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and rough coloured or semi-precious stones remain at 0.5%. Gold and silver dore bars, refined bars, and findings are subject to a 5% basic customs duty Lab-grown diamonds and pre-forms of precious and semiprecious stones retain existing Duty.

Candere by Kalyan Jewellers – Stack Jewellery for Men: A Guide to Layering and Expression
Candere by Kalyan Jewellers brings this idea to life with a men’s collection that’s all about versatility, detail, and modern elegance. Whether it’s a sleek chain that works at the office, a kada that makes a statement at night, or a mix of bracelets that show off character, these designs are meant to be stacked, styled, and worn your way. It’s jewellery that doesn’t just finish an outfit; it transforms it.
Stacking jewellery is fast becoming a rising trend in men’s fashion, redefining how accessories are worn and styled. No longer limited to a single chain or bracelet, today’s modern man embraces layering multiple pieces; from chains, kadas, and pendants to bracelets; that create depth, personality, and a signature look. This approach to styling reflects individuality, balancing subtle luxury with bold statements.
Here are five standout men’s jewellery designs that deserve a place in your collection:

The Geometric Charm Gold Pendant is clean, modern, and sharp — its structured shape adds a strong visual spark when layered on a fine chain. When you wear this pendant with something like the Ricky chain beneath, it becomes the kind of detail that draws attention without shouting.
The Siddh Diamond Bracelet brings confidence with its diamond-accented design. It’s bold enough to stand out, so pair it with two or three simpler metal or leather bracelets (or a sleek chain bracelet) to let its sparkle pop while keeping the overall stack balanced.


The Johan Platinum and Rose Gold Kada merges cool platinum tone with warm rose gold that mix is perfect for a stack because it lets you bridge metallic tones (silver/platinum + gold/rose gold) in a single piece. Use it as a mid-weight anchor alongside slimmer pieces for contrast.
The Ricky Platinum and Diamond Chain functions like your headliner piece when stacking around the neck. The combination of platinum and diamonds gives it luxurious weight. It pairs beautifully with simpler chains or pendants (like the Geometric Charm) to create layers that feel rich yet intentional.

The Golden Rules of Stacking
To master the art of layering, these 3 principles go a long way:
- Lead with a Statement – Begin your stack with one defining piece, whether it’s a bold bracelet or a standout chain, and let the rest build around it.
- Play with Textures – Mixing leather, beads, metals, and cords creates contrast and character, giving your look depth without feeling overdone.
- Keep Colours Cohesive – Neutral tones like black, brown, silver, or gray form a versatile base; introduce just one accent colour to keep the balance sharp and sophisticated.
These rules ensure your stack feels intentional, elevated, and distinctly your own; the perfect finishing touch for the modern man’s wardrobe.
