Diamond Retailers Glimmer as Valentine’s Day anchors peak sales season
Valentine’s Day remains a vital cornerstone for the natural diamond industry, accounting for approximately 7% of annual demand in the U.S.. According to the Natural Diamond Trends: 2025 Overview Report, produced in partnership with Tenoris, the holiday serves as the final act in a high-stakes retail trilogy for specialty jewelers.
The data, which tracked over four million transactions across 2,500 retailers, identifies Valentine’s Day alongside the year-end holiday season (30%) and Mother’s Day (9%) as the three “sales anchors” that define the fiscal year. Collectively, these three periods represent 46% of all yearly diamond purchases.
Today, the price of 24K gold was at Rs.157,780 per 10 grams, reflecting a gain of ₹1,270 compared to its previous close. Meanwhile, 22K gold is at Rs.144,632 per 10 grams.
Gold prices in India are largely influenced by international spot gold rates, US dollar fluctuations, and import duties on gold, among other factors.
Gold prices in India continue to remain higher than in Dubai. On 11 February 2026, the price of 24K gold in India stood at Rs.157,780 per 10 grams, while in Dubai it was Rs.149,441, reflecting a difference of Rs.8,339 or 5.58%.
