Randi Molofsky, JCK’s jewelry director and founder of For Future Reference, outlines five emerging jewelry trends shaping the industry in 2024:

Gold Alternatives & Modularity
Soaring gold prices are prompting designers to explore two-tone metals and non-gold materials like beads, leather, and cords. There’s a shift toward modular jewelry—especially pendants sold separately—allowing consumers to mix and match with their preferred chains.
The Rise of Red
Red gemstones, including rubies, carnelian, and malaya garnet, are gaining popularity—both in contemporary and vintage jewelry. Inspired in part by interior design’s “pop of red” trend, these vibrant stones are making bold statements in designer pieces.
Symbolism & Texture
Cosmic motifs, especially zodiac-themed designs, are everywhere. Additionally, rope and woven textures are trending, with pieces that mimic handwoven or textile-inspired aesthetics—adding artisanal appeal.
Gem-Focused Cocktail Rings
Oversized rings featuring standout gemstones are in vogue, with minimal emphasis on the setting. Pastel shades, bicolor tourmalines, and lighter-hued stones are favored for both their beauty and cost-effectiveness.
Brooches Make a Comeback
Once red carpet staples, brooches are finding new life in daily wear. Stylists and consumers alike are embracing brooches worn creatively—on hair, belts, or accessories—making them versatile statement pieces.

GJEPC intensified its promotional efforts in the United Kingdom ahead of IIJS Bharat Premiere 2026 through a week-long outreach programme in London that combined direct retailer engagement with the 2nd India-UK Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet (BSM). The initiative was held from 6 to 10 July 2026 and aimed to attract more UK buyers while strengthening trade ties following the India-UK Free Trade Agreement.

As part of the campaign, Gaurang Vora, Manager, GJEPC, visited major jewellery trading hubs including Green Street, Southall and Wembley, meeting 20+ jewellery retailers and wholesalers through in-person interactions. He promoted IIJS Bharat Premiere 2026, distributed event information and registration details, and gathered market feedback on sourcing requirements and buying trends.

Based on feedback from UK buyers, the 2nd India-UK Jewellery Buyer-Seller Meet generated strong demand for 22-karat gold jewellery, diamond jewellery, lightweight designs, lab-grown diamond jewellery and silver jewellery. Buyers also expressed interest in sourcing from reliable, export-oriented Indian manufacturers and suggested that suppliers offer smaller minimum order quantities to better meet the needs of independent retailers.

The campaign generated new buyer enquiries, strengthened relationships with existing trade partners and provided GJEPC with market intelligence on consumer preferences and sourcing trends. The Council plans to continue engaging with buyers, assist with IIJS Bharat Premiere registrations and facilitate introductions between overseas buyers and Indian manufacturers.
