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.

At the heart of the exhibition is a celebration of jewellery craftsmanship, bringing together traditional Rajasthani jewellery, regional jewellery craftsmanship and the rich karigari heritage of Kolkata that has been an integral part of Senco’s identity.
The showcase brings the breadth and versatility of Senco’s jewellery offering under one roof, highlighting the distinctive jewellery traditions of Rajasthan, with regional pieces such as Baju Bandh, Rakdi Set, Shishful, Nath, Bangdi, Panchlda, Tinlda and Kantha. These traditional creations reflect the ornate detailing, cultural influences and craftsmanship associated with the region, allowing customers to explore Rajasthan’s jewellery heritage alongside Senco’s broader collection of contemporary and traditional designs.
The exhibition also offers an opportunity to explore the wider portfolio, with brands and collections created for different expressions of jewellery and lifestyle. From lightweight gold jewellery and Aham’s contemporary men’s jewellery to couture-led designs, Vivaha’s bridal offerings and Gossip’s silver and fashion jewellery, the portfolio reflects Senco’s focus on giving customers greater choice across occasions, aesthetics and ways of wearing jewellery.
Designed as more than a jewellery showcase, the exhibition brings together live artistry, entertainment, refreshments and interactive customer experiences, creating a festive environment for customers and families.
The celebrations continue on 15th August with Independence Day and Teej celebrations, alongside live Mehendi Art, Nail Art and jewellery photoshoots. On 16th August, customers can enjoy further exhibition activities, including live beauty experiences and jewellery photoshoots.

Speaking on the occasion, Suvankar Sen, MD & CEO, Senco Gold & Diamonds, said:

“India’s jewellery traditions are incredibly diverse, and that diversity is something we have always celebrated at Senco. Rajasthan has its own rich jewellery language and craftsmanship, while our roots in Kolkata have given us a deep connection with karigari and the art of jewellery making.
Bringing these together in Bikaner allows customers to experience that diversity alongside the breadth of what Senco offers today, from gold and diamonds to 9KT, 14KT and 18KT gold, from necklaces and earrings to kadas, bangles, rings and mangtikkas, and from statement jewellery to lightweight traditional pieces designed for ease of wear. Most importantly, we want customers to experience the trust and craftsmanship that Senco has built over generations, while discovering jewellery that feels relevant to their own celebrations and style.”
The Bikaner exhibition reflects Senco Gold & Diamonds’ approach to creating retail experiences that go beyond the jewellery itself, bringing together craftsmanship, regional heritage, design versatility and customer engagement. As customers prepare for the festive and wedding season, the exhibition offers an opportunity to discover the richness of Indian jewellery traditions alongside Senco’s contemporary design sensibility, with a wide selection of jewellery and a vibrant programme of experiences, entertainment and rewards.
