Platinum Jewellery Sparkles as the Modern Choice for Akshaya Tritiya
Symbolising purity, strength, and timeless elegance, platinum emerges as a popular pick for celebrating prosperity and new beginnings this festive season.
As India prepares to celebrate Akshaya Tritiya on April 30, a festival known for ushering in prosperity and fresh starts, many are turning to platinum jewellery to mark the occasion with meaning and style.
Traditionally seen as a time to invest in gold and other symbols of wealth, Akshaya Tritiya is now witnessing a shift as contemporary consumers seek out choices that reflect both heritage and modern values. Platinum — with its naturally white sheen, 95% purity, and resistance to tarnish — is being embraced as a powerful emblem of enduring wealth and spiritual purity.
Reflecting the timeless essence of the festival, platinum jewellery is available in a variety of collections designed to resonate with today’s lifestyle. Women can explore graceful, modern designs through Platinum Evara, men can find strength and character in Men of Platinum, and couples can celebrate their bond with Platinum Love Bands, crafted to honour life’s significant milestones.
Each piece bears the hallmark “Pt 950,” certifying its high purity and enduring value. As a metal that stands the test of time, platinum offers more than just visual appeal — it embodies the lasting emotional and material richness that Akshaya Tritiya represents.
With its blend of tradition and innovation, platinum jewellery continues to shine as a meaningful and lasting way to celebrate this auspicious day — a gift of love, resilience, and prosperity to treasure for generations.

Curbs On Silver Jewellery With Cheap Diamonds Until June 30, 2026
Efforts To Protect The Local Jewellery Sector Amid Global Demand Weakness
The Indian government has imposed temporary restrictions on imports of silver jewellery studded with inexpensive diamonds, changing the policy from “free” to “restricted” until June 30, 2026. Issued by the DGFT, the move aims to curb surging inflows—primarily from ASEAN countries—that are hurting domestic producers. This builds on earlier restrictions on gold, silver, and platinum jewellery extended until April 30, 2026, as part of efforts to protect the local jewellery sector amid global demand weakness and declining exports.
With rising gold prices and cultural shifts, India has seen strong demand for silver jewellery across both urban and rural markets. But the country is heavily dependent on imports to meet its silver requirements, as domestic production remains limited. India sources silver primarily from countries such as Mexico, China, Peru and Australia, often in the form of dore or refined bullion.
Trade data from the GJEPC showed a sharp contraction in October 2025, with gross exports falling 30.57% year on year to $2.17 billion. Imports also declined by 19.2% to $1.27 billion during the month.
The slowdown was driven by weaker demand across key markets such as the US, Europe and China, along with global economic moderation. Currency fluctuations and elevated gold and diamond prices further added to cost pressures for exporters.
