Platinum Guild International (PGI) – India is pleased to announce the 8th edition of its annual flagship event, the Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet. Scheduled to take place on June 26th and 27th, 2025, in Kochi, this marquee industry event will bring together leading retail and manufacturing partners across India’s platinum jewellery industry to showcase innovation, foster strategic partnerships, and drive category growth in a dynamic and evolving retail ecosystem.

This year’s theme focuses on success, innovation and growth, with a clear goal of establishing platinum as the metal of choice for modern Indian consumers. The event will convene 14 of the country’s most prominent platinum jewellery manufacturers and a robust group of 60 leading retail partners from across PGI’s vast network, setting the stage for collaborative expansion across the platinum jewellery landscape. Designed as a catalyst for forward-looking partnerships, the meet will spotlight new opportunities for platinum jewellery across PGI’s branded categories—Platinum Love Bands, Platinum Evara, and Men of Platinum.

Set against the backdrop of shifting global markets and growing interest from younger, new-age consumers, the 2025 edition aims to scale category demand through bolder design narratives, differentiated product innovation, and powerful, insight-led marketing programs. The overarching objective is to reinforce platinum’s relevance and position as a meaningful, competitive, and preferred metal of choice across an evolving range of contemporary consumer occasions.

Madhu Jethwani Dhabuwala, CEO – Jewellery, India & Middle East at Jewelex India Pvt. Ltd shared: “As the demand for platinum jewellery expands beyond metros into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, it’s exciting to see a new wave of consumers gravitate towards the metal’s minimal, modern aesthetic. At this year’s Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet, we’re focusing on showcasing a wider set of customisation capabilities, especially in love bands and daily wear pieces, to meet the evolving preferences of this wider audience.”

Colin Shah, Founder & Managing Director, Kama Jewellery said: “The men’s platinum jewellery segment continues to show strong momentum, especially among younger consumers looking for differentiated, meaningful pieces. At this year’s Buyer-Seller Meet, we’re excited to showcase new innovations in this space, aligned with the bold, modern codes that define the Men of Platinum narrative.”

The previous edition of the Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet saw a remarkable response from the industry, with extensive participation across PGI’s network of retailers and manufacturers. It also marked the announcement of Inoveo Platinum, a new alloy with transformative potential for platinum jewellery manufacturing, and featured an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated MS Dhoni Signature Edition Collection by Men of Platinum launched in October 2024 across leading retail stores.

As the platinum jewellery market in India continues to evolve and expand, the Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet plays a pivotal role in shaping its trajectory by fostering strong partnerships, unlocking new revenue avenues, and driving a platinum-forward approach to establish the metal as a clear choice for the modern Indian consumer.

This Father’s Day, Divine Solitaires brought families together in a touching celebration of love, gratitude, and unbreakable ties. Held from June 7th to 15th across Ranka Jewelers stores in Pune, the special initiative invited customers to pause and honor the often-unspoken strength and presence of their fathers.

Visitors to the stores were encouraged to write heartfelt messages for their dads and capture the emotion at a specially curated selfie booth. These beautiful memories were then shared on Instagram, where the digital campaign sparked a wave of love and nostalgia — reminding everyone of the quiet, steady role fathers play in our lives.

The response from customers was truly heartwarming, with families taking the time to express affection in meaningful, memorable ways — from handwritten notes to cheerful photos filled with laughter and warmth.

Reflecting on the initiative, Jignesh Mehta, Founder & Managing Director, Divine Solitaires, shared, “Fatherhood often reveals itself in the background — in actions rather than words. With this campaign, we wanted to create a space where those emotions could be voiced and cherished. Diamonds catch the light—but it’s love that holds it. Hearing our customers’ stories reminded us of that.”

To make the celebration even more special, a few lucky winners were surprised with thoughtful gifts from Divine Solitaires, adding a moment of joy to their already memorable day.

With heartfelt participation and genuine expressions of love, Divine Solitaires’ Father’s Day initiative turned everyday store visits into powerful moments of connection — celebrating the love that doesn’t need words—the kind only a father knows.
