Gold price surges past Rs 1 Lakh/ 10 gm
In a landmark moment for the Indian bullion market, gold prices have surged past the Rs 1 lakh mark per 10 grams, reinforcing the precious metal’s status as a safe-haven investment during times of economic uncertainty. On Friday, Mumbai’s renowned Zaveri Bazaar witnessed an unprecedented rise in the price of 24-carat gold, which now stands at Rs 1,01,000 per 10 grams—marking the highest ever recorded in India’s history.
This significant increase is largely attributed to a confluence of international and domestic factors. Market experts suggest that rising global gold prices, coupled with expectations of potential interest rate cuts in the United States and Europe, have played a pivotal role in boosting demand. Additionally, a weakening US dollar and ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, have further cemented gold’s appeal among investors seeking stability in volatile times.
While this surge may be welcomed by investors, it poses a financial challenge for everyday consumers, especially during the current wedding season. As gold becomes increasingly expensive, middle-class buyers may find it harder to afford new jewellery. In fact, several gold traders have reported a noticeable dip in demand for newly crafted ornaments, with many customers choosing instead to liquidate existing gold assets to take advantage of the high prices.
Looking ahead, the trajectory of gold prices remains uncertain. If global instability continues and investor demand holds strong, experts believe that prices could climb even higher. On the other hand, some analysts foresee a potential cooling-off period, citing the likelihood of profit booking by investors who may now choose to capitalize on the recent surge.
In conclusion, the current rally in gold prices underscores the metal’s enduring significance in global and domestic markets. Whether this trend will persist or see a temporary pullback remains to be seen, but for now, gold continues to shine brightly as both an investment and a symbol of security.

D.P. Jewellers Unveils Multi-City Showcase Spanning Bridal Grandeur to Everyday Jewellery
D.P. Jewellers curates city-specific exhibitions across Kota, Ajmer, Ujjain, and Banswara, blending bridal grandeur with lightweight, everyday jewellery to match evolving consumer preferences.

D.P. Jewellers, a venture of D.P. Abhushan Ltd. and one of Central India’s largest jewellery retailers, has launched a series of curated in-store exhibitions across key markets, including Kota, Ajmer, Ujjain, and Banswara, running from March 19 to March 29, 2026.
Each exhibition has been designed around specific consumer needs and regional buying preferences, bringing together a mix of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
In Kota and Banswara, the brand is hosting its Wedding Carnival 2026, showcasing an extensive bridal-focused collection. While D.P. Jewellers has previously organised wedding-led showcases, this edition is more expansive in both scale and curation, featuring a wider mix of gold, diamond, diamond polki, and silver jewellery, along with traditional articles and wedding essentials. The focus is on offering greater design diversity and convenience, enabling bridal families to explore complete wedding solutions under one roof. Key highlights include necklaces, bangles, bridal sets, and occasion-led designs catering to both traditional preferences and evolving styling sensibilities.
In Ajmer, D.P. Jewellers is presenting the Rings, Tops & Small Jewellery Festival, marking a sharper shift towards lightweight and everyday jewellery, a category seeing increased traction. Unlike earlier formats that were largely occasion-driven, this exhibition emphasises daily wear and versatility. The showcase features gold and diamond rings, earrings, and small-format designs, including collections from its ‘Amoura’ line, known for its modern, lightweight appeal. Personalised styling guidance further reflects a more consultative retail approach.
Meanwhile, in Ujjain, the Chain & Bangle Festival builds on traditionally strong categories while introducing a more experience-led format. While chains and bangles have long been core to festive buying, this edition expands the offering with a broader mix of lightweight and contemporary designs, catering to younger consumers. The inclusion of live customisation and in-store styling support marks a shift towards a more interactive retail experience, aligned with changing consumer expectations.
Across all locations, the exhibitions reflect evolving consumer trends, with a visible shift towards lightweight, versatile jewellery alongside continued demand for traditional gold pieces, especially for weddings and cultural occasions. Markets like Ajmer and Ujjain also benefit from steady footfall driven by religious tourism and regional connectivity, contributing to sustained demand throughout the year.

D.P. Jewellers continues to emphasise transparency and trust as key differentiators. Each product is clearly tagged with detailed information, including making charges, gross and net weight, and pricing aligned to prevailing market rates. The brand also offers a customer-friendly buy-back policy and maintains competitive pricing across categories.
With a legacy of over eight decades and a growing retail footprint, D.P. Jewellers’ multi-city exhibition strategy aims to deepen customer engagement while catering to diverse regional preferences during one of the most important consumption periods for the jewellery industry.
