Gudi Padwa jewellery sales flat; demand for gold coins surges
Gold prices have surged to nearly Rs 90,000 per 10 grams (excluding GST) in the physical market, leading to a noticeable decline in jewellery sales in Maharashtra/Goa during Gudi Padwa, a festival traditionally associated with gold purchases. Despite this, demand for gold coins as an investment remains strong, as consumers anticipate further price appreciation. Mumbai’s largest gold hub has observed a shift in consumer behavior toward gold coins and bars. Traders said that buyers are purchasing gold coins with the expectation of future price increases.
As of Gudi Padwa, gold prices have reached nearly Rs 90,000 per 10 grams, making gold jewellery significantly more expensive. Higher prices have deterred traditional jewellery buyers, shifting demand towards investment-oriented purchases, such as gold coins. Industry experts anticipate that gold prices may continue to rise, reinforcing gold’s status as a long-term store of value.
Equal demand was observed between gold jewellery and investment-grade coins. Retailers introduced discounts and exchange offers, but high prices still impacted sales volume.Tier-2 cities experienced similar trends, with more gold coin buyers than jewellery shoppers. Lightweight jewellery, silver accessories, and gold-plated ornaments saw higher traction compared to heavy gold jewellery.
Global trade tensions and potential U.S. Fed rate cuts are boosting gold’s attractiveness as an investment. Investors are shifting towards gold due to its historical role as a hedge against inflation and economic instability The Indian Rupee’s performance against the U.S. Dollar is also a contributing factor to local gold price fluctuations.

Zoori By Hazoorilal Legacy Reinvents The Mangalsutra For The Modern Woman – The Zoori Mangalsutra
Rooted In Tradition, Designed For Today, The New Expression Of Love – Where Timeless Sentiment Meets Contemporary Style.The New Design Has Been Conceptualised As An Everyday Fine Jewellery Essential.
In a world where jewellery is increasingly becoming an expression of individuality, Zoori by Hazoorilal Legacy introduces a contemporary take on one of India’s most enduring symbols of love and commitment – the mangalsutra. Designed for the woman of today, the new Zoori Mangalsutra brings together tradition, versatility and modern design in a single, thoughtfully crafted piece.


Rooted in the emotional significance of the mangalsutra, the Zoori Mangalsutra brings a modern sensibility to the timeless symbol of love and commitment. Thoughtfully designed for versatility and moving beyond the conventional idea of a mangalsutra being reserved for specific occasions, the new design has been conceptualised as an everyday fine jewellery essential.
The modular design allows the Zoori Mangalsutra to be styled in 3 distinct ways. Crafted with 2 detachable layers, the top layer transforms effortlessly into a bracelet, while the second layer can be worn on its own or can be worn as a stack with your existing pieces. Crafted to give women the freedom to personalise their look according to their mood, outfit or occasion.
Delicate gold detailing, signature black beads and diamonds come together in a refined design that balances the traditional identity of the mangalsutra with the understated elegance of contemporary fine jewellery. The understated silhouette allows the mangalsutra to retain its traditional visual language while introducing a lighter, more contemporary aesthetic suited to modern wardrobes.
Speaking on the launch, Sonal Narang, Creative Head, Zoori by Hazoorilal Legacy said:

“The mangalsutra is one of the most deeply personal forms of jewellery, carrying with it a sense of love, commitment and tradition. With Zoori, we wanted to look at this timeless symbol through a contemporary lens and create something that feels relevant to the way women live and dress today. The Zoori Mangalsutra is designed to offer freedom of expression — it can be worn in different ways, styled differently and made a part of everyday life, while still retaining the emotion and significance at its core.”
The launch marks another step in Zoori’s journey of bringing traditional jewellery codes into a contemporary context. With Sonal Narang’s creative direction, the collection has consistently focused on delicate, versatile and stackable designs that resonate with younger consumers and the evolving ways in which they wear fine jewellery.
The Zoori Mangalsutra ultimately celebrates a simple idea: one design does not have to mean one way of wearing it. From everyday dressing to intimate occasions, from a single delicate layer to a more pronounced stacked look, the piece is designed to evolve with the woman who wears it.
The Zoori Mangalsutra is a modern interpretation of tradition—designed not just to be worn, but to become a part of a woman’s everyday story.
