Prepared by the CIBJO Marketing and Education Commission, headed by Jonathan Kendall, Special Report No.1 considers what must be done to ensure that jewellery remains the ultimate expression of love, friendship and peace.

“As we stand at the confluence of tradition and innovation, the role of the jewellery industry in expressing and promoting these universal values becomes ever more significant,” writes Kendall. “In a world teeming with transient messages and fleeting moments, its enduring nature offers a beacon of hope and continuity. It invites us to look beyond the surface, to find within its sparkle a deeper connection to the values that bind us.”

To meet the challenge, the industry is going to have innovate iconic jewellery, which, as it has in previous times, manages to match the sentiment and consciousness of new consumers, Mr. Kendall stated. “In an era where symbols carry the weight of ideologies and beliefs, the jewellery industry stands at the threshold of an unprecedented opportunity – to conceptualize new statement pieces that embody global peace and harmony. It’s an endeavour requiring not only creativity and craftsmanship, but also a profound understanding of the universal symbols that resonate with humanity’s deepest aspirations for unity and tranquillity,” he wrote.

The ethical integrity of the jewellery is also fundamental. “Through conscious practices and meaningful engagement, the industry “has the potential to contribute to a legacy of positive change, proving that the true value of jewellery lies in the beauty it brings to the world, both inside and out,” wrote Kendall.

Gifting That Lasts – How Gold and Silver Coins Bridge Heritage and Modern Life

Most people think of gifting gold and silver as a nod to nostalgia. In reality, it’s one of the few traditions that has outperformed every modern “smart” gift you can name. Long before fintech apps and inflation charts, Indian households treated these metals as portable wealth, a hedge against uncertainty, and a quiet transfer of wisdom from one generation to the next. That logic has not aged a day; rather, it remains even more relevant in a world where assets can be compromised with a password reset.

What has changed is the way these coins look and live in our lives. Classic Lakshmi – Ganesh motifs now share space with clean, contemporary designs that feel at home in a digital world. The modern take on it makes each piece both timeless and current. Every coin carries its own story, turning family milestones into tangible memories while steadily gaining value as gold and silver prices continue to climb year after year. It is beauty and intrinsic value in one small disc. It is a heritage you can hold, and an investment built to last across generations.

Augmont brings this legacy to life with coins that pair high purity with artistry that honors tradition while embracing today’s aesthetic, offering a gift as enduring as the heritage it represents.

2. Convenience Of Payment

Gold and silver coins have a way of staying with us long after the festival. They become part of the stories families live and share. A coin given at Diwali, added to a wedding trousseau, or exchanged to mark a milestone, holds memories, celebrates relationships, and marks achievements. Over the years, these coins carry the weight of tradition, the joy of moments lived, and the reassurance of foresight. By bringing the past into the present, they turn every gift into something personal, lasting, and truly memorable.
