Celebrating 100 years of Bhima Jewellery:Coffee table book launched at GJS 2025 to mark Bhima Jewellery’s centenary
Trust, tradition, and timeless craftsmanship took center stage as the Indian jewellery fraternity came together to commemorate a historic moment—100 years of Bhima Jewellery. The centennial celebration was marked by the grand unveiling of a commemorative coffee table book at the prestigious GJS 2025 chronicling the illustrious journey of one of India’s most respected jewellery houses.
The book, a visual and narrative tribute, beautifully captures the evolution of Bhima Jewellery—from a modest store established in 1925 by visionary founder Bhima Bhattar to a household name synonymous with quality, trust, and excellence in jewellery.
Addressing an emotional gathering, Dr. B Govindan, Chairman of Bhima Jewellery, reflected on the brand’s humble origins in Kerala. With heartfelt reverence, he paid tribute to his father, Bhima Bhattar, whose entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to integrity laid the foundation for the century-old legacy.“This is not just a celebration of a business milestone,” Dr. Govindan said, “but a testament to the enduring values that have guided us—trust, craftsmanship, and our deep-rooted connection with our customers. I express my deepest gratitude to the entire jewellery fraternity for their unwavering love and support throughout this journey.”
Industry veterans, peers, and admirers lauded Bhima Jewellery’s role in shaping India’s modern jewellery landscape while staying true to its traditional roots. The event was a blend of nostalgia and pride, underscoring how heritage brands like Bhima continue to inspire generations in a rapidly evolving industry.
The coffee table book, rich with archival photographs, design evolution, family anecdotes, and cultural context, now stands as a collector’s piece and a symbol of enduring legacy—celebrating not just 100 years of Bhima, but also a century of trust.

Gold Sees Decline On Shifting Global Macroeconomic Cues
Spot Gold On The COMEX Hovered Around $4,057.85 Per Bounce, Indicating That The Cautious Sentiment Is Being Felt Across Global Markets.
Gold prices on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) experienced a notable pullback as market participants reacted to shifting global macroeconomic cues. The benchmark MCX Gold August 2026 Futures contract fell by 1.30%, trading at Rs 1,41,619.00 per 10 grams ahead of its upcoming expiry on August 5, 2026. Mirroring this downward trend, the Gold Mini (GOLDM) contract also slid, with its last traded price recorded at Rs 1,41,511.00.
The broader bullion market reflected a similar weakness. MCX Silver futures, set to expire on September 4, 2026, shed 1.60% of their value to trade at Rs 2,19,093.00 per kilogram. On the international front, spot gold on the COMEX hovered around $4,057.85 per ounce, indicating that the cautious sentiment is being felt across global markets.
Market analysts attribute this downward pressure to complex geopolitical and macroeconomic factors. While escalating conflicts in the Middle East would traditionally spur safe-haven demand, they have also kept inflation risks highly elevated. This sticky inflation has prompted widespread market expectations that the US Federal Reserve will maintain a prolonged high-interest-rate environment. Because higher interest rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, investors have pulled back, keeping both gold and silver under pressure.
