Jewellery sector’s growth will be fueled by a younger, diverse clientele: McKinsey & Co luxury fashion report
Jewellery sales are expected to regain momentum with 3% to 5% projected growth. An increasing number of consumers will transition from non-branded to branded jewellery.
A 2025 luxury fashion report by McKinsey & Co forecasts jewellery and leather goods to be the fastest-growing categories of the luxury goods industry through 2027. The jewellery sector’s growth will be fuelled by a younger and more diverse clientele.
The report notes that in the period 2019-2023, the jewellery category experienced a remarkable 8% CAGR (compound annual growth rate), globally. However, in 2024, growth slowed down between 2% to 4%. This year, jewellery sales are expected to regain momentum with 3% to 5% projected growth, and accelerate to 4% to 6% by 2027.
Jewellery sector’s growth in the next 3 years will be shaped by shifting customer profiles and buying behaviours. An increasing number of consumers will transition from non-branded to branded jewellery.
High jewellery sales are likely to increase in line with the growing number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals worldwide. Moreover, growing interest among younger buyers in genderless jewellery, along with luxury brands investing in technology and immersive experiences will further shape interest among digital natives and new consumers
However, the report cautions that an uncertainty in a clear segregation between lab-grown diamond and natural diamond markets could pose a challenge to this growth.
Key points:

- High-jewellery demand to rise as the wealthy population grows worldwide.
- Global iconic jewellery brands continue to lead growth for luxury conglomerates

Precious Metals Surge As Middle East Diplomacy Advances AUGMONT BULLION REPORT
Silver Surged Over 6% To Above $78, While Gold Rose Approximately 3% To Trade Near $4,700.
Safe-Haven Dynamics – Silver surged over 6% to above $78, while Gold rose approximately 3% to trade near $4,700. The primary driver was easing Middle East tensions, which pressured oil prices lower and reduced inflation concerns. Both Iran and the US are engaging mediators to finalise a one-page, 14-point memorandum of understanding, intended to establish a framework for a month-long negotiation process aimed at ending the conflict.
Geopolitical Developments – The White House is reportedly close to a deal with Iran, marking the most significant diplomatic progress since the conflict began. The proposed agreement would require Iran to accept enhanced UN inspections, suspend nuclear enrichment for 12–15 years, potentially relocate highly enriched uranium, and restrict underground nuclear facilities. In return, the US would phase out sanctions and release billions in frozen Iranian assets.
Macro-economic Signals – The US ADP report released Wednesday showed private-sector payrolls expanded by 109K in April, up from a downwardly revised 61K in March. The above-consensus reading signals continued, if uneven, labour market resilience. Meanwhile, CME FedWatch data indicates markets are still assigning meaningful probability to a Fed rate hike before year-end.
Technical Triggers
- Gold has recovered from the $4,500–4,550 (~ Rs. 1,49,000) support zone, with resistance now targeted at $4,800–4,850 (~ Rs. 1,55,000).
- Silver has met the $78 (~Rs. 2,56,000) upside target; subsequent resistance levels stand at $80 (~Rs. 2,60,000) and $82 (~Rs. 2,65,000).
