Madhu Jethwani Dhabuwala, CEO – Jewellery, India & Middle East at Jewelex India Pvt. Ltd shared: “As the demand for platinum jewellery expands beyond metros into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, it’s exciting to see a new wave of consumers gravitate towards the metal’s minimal, modern aesthetic. At this year’s Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet, we’re focusing on showcasing a wider set of customisation capabilities, especially in love bands and daily wear pieces, to meet the evolving preferences of this wider audience.”
Colin Shah, Founder & Managing Director, Kama Jewellery said: “The men’s platinum jewellery segment continues to show strong momentum, especially among younger consumers looking for differentiated, meaningful pieces. At this year’s Buyer-Seller Meet, we’re excited to showcase new innovations in this space, aligned with the bold, modern codes that define the Men of Platinum narrative.”

The previous edition of the Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet saw a remarkable response from the industry, with extensive participation across PGI’s network of retailers and manufacturers. It also marked the announcement of Inoveo Platinum, a new alloy with transformative potential for platinum jewellery manufacturing, and featured an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated MS Dhoni Signature Edition Collection by Men of Platinum launched in October 2024 across leading retail stores.
As the platinum jewellery market in India continues to evolve and expand, the Platinum Buyer-Seller Meet plays a pivotal role in shaping its trajectory by fostering strong partnerships, unlocking new revenue avenues, and driving a platinum-forward approach to establish the metal as a clear choice for the modern Indian consumer.
