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.

Surendra Mehta, National Secretary- IBJA, said:

“BIS is introducing the Silver Refinery Certification Scheme, an initiative that involved critical inputs and efforts by IBJA. Mirroring the long-established certification ecosystem for gold, this framework introduces a structured India Good Delivery for Silver. Now, silver from any BIS-approved refinery ensures a verified fineness and purity. This will gradually end the impure silver bar market.”

Market structures have already evolved alongside this rollout. The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) aligned its exchange delivery protocols to accept BIS-standard domestic silver, allowing empanelled Indian refiners to fulfill physical delivery contracts directly on the exchange.

By formalizing the local refining of silver (including silver recovered as a by-product of gold dore), this scheme strengthens the domestic precious metals ecosystem in line with Aatmanirbhar Bharat objectives
