India Silver Conference 2024 concludes successfully
ISC 2024 served as a cornerstone for the advancement of the silver industry
The successful conclusion of the India Silver Conference 2024 not only marked a significant milestone but also served as a cornerstone for the advancement of the silver industry.
ISC 2024 unfolded as a dynamic forum where more than 260 esteemed participants converged to explore and shape the future of silver. Organized by Eventell Global Advisory Private Limited and supported by the India Bullion and Jewellers Association Ltd (IBJA) and The Silver Institute, the event delved into an array of pressing topics that encapsulated the industry’s multifaceted landscape.
ISC 2024 addressed a wide spectrum of themes: From the advantages of pure silver in manufacturing and the critical examination of impurities on quality and environmental impact, to the exploration of accelerating growth in silver jewellery and strategies for innovation and market expansion in silverware, the conference offered comprehensive insights into various facets of the industry. Moreover, sessions delved into the nuances of silver investment demand, emphasizing the deepening of markets and the integration of silver within investment portfolios.
Over 60% of the delegates felt that silver would trade above 34 USD/Troy Ounce by the end of December 2024. Silver demand in electrical contact applications and solar paste applications in India is expected to grow at an annual rate of 15% in the next five years. Setting up of common facility centres at key silver jewellery clusters and exclusive promotion and market access programmes would increase the demand for India-made silver jewellery and articles. From a portfolio point of view, an investment of 4- 7% of one portfolio can be in silver. The lower percentage for short-term investors, while the higher percentage is for long-term investment. Silver investments complement investment in gold.
Notably, the conference recognized excellence by awarding 13 ISC Excellence Awards to standout performers of 2023.
As the India Silver Conference 2024 concluded, the exchange of ideas and insights across various sessions has not only enriched individual perspectives but also sparked a collective momentum towards innovation and progress within the silver industry.

Cartier Unveils Five New Creatures In Its “Into The Wild” High Jewellery Collection
Tiger, Parrot, Carp, Crocodile and Rhinoceros Join The Maison’s Iconic Animal Universe
Cartier has expanded its legendary animal universe with Into The Wild, its latest high jewellery collection, introducing five new creatures: the tiger, parrot, carp, crocodile and rhinoceros. The collection was unveiled in Istanbul as the Maison continues to explore its longstanding fascination with the natural world.
At the heart of the collection are five sculptural animal-head rings, each capturing the creatures’ distinctive character through precious gemstones, bold colour combinations and exceptional craftsmanship. Cartier’s artisans use techniques including carving and specialised gem-setting to recreate textures such as fur, scales and skin.
The tiger is interpreted through sapphires, aquamarine and dumortierite quartz, while the parrot, carp, crocodile and rhinoceros each receive distinctive gemstone treatments. The crocodile and tiger also appear in articulated bracelets and necklaces, with cleverly concealed clasps integrated into their mouths.
While the new creations broaden Cartier’s menagerie, the Panthère remains central to the collection, appearing in a diamond bracelet and a Panthère jewellery watch. Cartier’s fascination with fauna dates back to the early 20th century, with the panther taking its iconic three-dimensional form in 1948.
With Into The Wild, Cartier continues to transform nature into sculptural high jewellery, demonstrating how animal forms can become powerful expressions of creativity, craftsmanship and individuality.
