Perspective on Jewellery Manufacturers & Jewellery Making Machinery Manufacturers Industry – 2026
By Bhavik Shah-CEO, DOIT Industries Limited
Challenging Market Conditions
The gold jewellery segment is continuously facing a tough year due to high gold prices globally. This has led to reduced affordability & lower consumer demand, especially in price-sensitive markets like India.
At the same time, the market is showing signs of saturation. Gold jewellery is being viewed as a luxury purchase rather than a traditional investment. Quantum-wise, the industry is shrinking as consumers are shifting towards alternate investments and lifestyle experiences.
Emerging Opportunities in Silver
However, every disruption creates an opportunity.
One of the most promising shifts we are witnessing is in silver. Recent restrictions and tighter controls on silver imports have accelerated the need for domestic production. This has created strong demand for advanced jewellery-making machinery capable of delivering high-quality silver jewellery that meets global benchmarks.
Ancillary Industry on the Rise
Jewellery-making machinery manufacturing is emerging as one of the most promising ancillary industries within the jewellery ecosystem.
As manufacturers focus on efficiency and cost optimisation, there is a clear shift towards automation, laser technologies and other. Companies investing in indigenous R&D and technology integration will lead the next phase of growth.
Advanced Tech & Skill Development:
Technology will be the defining differentiator in these sectors. The adoption of CAD/CAM systems, AI-driven design optimisation, automated manufacturing, and digital retail integration is no longer optional—it is essential for scalability and profitability
Skill development is necessary at all times. Advanced machinery and digital tools require a highly trained workforce. Continuous training and upskilling will be essential to improve productivity, maintain quality consistency, and support long-term industry sustainability.
Overall Opinion & View
Looking ahead, with a strong focus on quality, innovation, and global compliance standards, India has a clear opportunity to position itself as a competitive global exporter of jewellery-making machinery over the next decade. While the gold jewellery segment faces both structural and cyclical challenges, the future lies in diversification, technology-led manufacturing, and innovation. Production of lower Karat gold jewellery along with diversifying into alternative metals such as silver, is no longer a choice—it is a strategic imperative.

A fun, practical New Year note for jewellery business owners
Wishing You a Healthier, Happier & Wiser 2026 – By Shivaram A
A new year arrives with a new set of—what else—New Year resolutions. And 2026 is no different.
Resolution makers, beware. Research says nearly 80% of New Year resolutions collapse by mid-February. There’s even a name for it: the second Friday of January is officially called Quitters’ Day.
So, here’s the uncomfortable question: Do you want 2026 to be any different, or should we just block your calendar till Quitters’ Day?
If your answer is a serious yes, then it boils down to two things:
- What exactly do you want?
- How badly do you want it?
Because let’s be honest intentions are cheap. Discipline is expensive.
If you’re still reading, congratulations. You haven’t quit yet.
Most business resolutions sound familiar: higher sales, higher profits (or much higher profits), more stores, more customers. And yes—higher gold and silver prices too. On that one, we have very little control… though prayers are always welcome!
But for 2026, let’s look beyond only business numbers and focus on three areas that quietly decide your long-term success.
1. A Healthier You in 2026
A typical day before 2025 (you may recognise this): Late wake-up. Late breakfast. Reaching the store by 11 am—or noon on a “busy” day. Vendor meetings. Lunch at 3 pm. Evening snacks at 6 pm. Endless cups of chai. Store closes at 9 pm. Dinner at 10:30 pm. Netflix or phone scrolling. Sleep well past midnight.
Not everything applies—but enough of it does to make you uncomfortable.
The result? Low energy, rising health reports, and a body that protests quietly… until it doesn’t.
Resolution for a Healthier 2026
Start with a complete health check-up. Think of it as your personal P&L statement—it shows your condition on one specific day.
Identify what I like to call “golden furniture” in the body—parts that have stopped moving but still occupy space.
Then act:
- Better food (not fancy diets)
- Regular movement (not heroic gym resolutions)
- Better sleep (yes, even for business owners)
Warning: Change will be uncomfortable. But so is ignoring the problem.
Set SMART health goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound.
2. A Happier You in 2026
Let’s admit it—becoming happier has rarely featured on a jeweller’s resolution list.

Resolution for a Happier 2026
Make happiness intentional, not accidental.
Start with something simple: one family dinner or friends’ meal every week.
According to the World Happiness Report (based on over 1,50,000 people), those who regularly eat with others report:
- Higher life satisfaction
- More positive emotions
- Fewer negative emotions
One strict rule: phones stay away. If the phone joins the table, happiness leaves early.
3. A Wiser You in 2026
You’ve built a successful business. The numbers prove it. Experience, instinct, and industry knowledge have served you well.
But the world is shifting—fast.
AI. Agentic AI. AI Agents. (And yes, everyone is still figuring out the difference.)

People deep in this space believe AI may have a bigger impact than the internet itself.
The real question is not whether AI will affect jewellery retail—but whether you’ll learn early or catch up late.
For traditional business owners, the willingness to learn and apply new tools is the new unfair advantage.
A Simple 2026 Resolution Action Plan
| Action Area | Example | Final Status – 31.12.2026 |
| Healthier | 30 minutes movement daily | Achieved / Not Achieved |
| Happier | Weekly family dinner | Achieved / Not Achieved |
| Wiser | One AI implementation | Achieved / Not Achieved |
No overthinking. No complex dashboards. Just honest tracking.
Ready to make 2026 different?
If you want help converting good intentions into clear action plans—for health, happiness, or business wisdom—I’m happy to help you think it through.
Let’s ensure you’re still on track after Quitters’ Day.
Here’s wishing you a Healthier, Happier & Wiser 2026.
