PNG Jewellers Taps into High-Growth Lightweight Jewellery Segment with New Brand ‘Litestyle’
PNG Jewellers, one of India’s most trusted jewellery houses with a legacy spanning over 192 years, proudly announced the launch of its contemporary sub-brand Litestyle by PNG in Pune today. The launch marks a significant step in PNG’s evolution as it connects with the next generation of jewellery buyers through lightweight, design-forward fine jewellery for everyday wear.
Crafted in 18K and 22K gold, Litestyle is tailored for the modern, style-conscious woman aged 25–40, someone who chooses jewellery not just for tradition or gifting, but as an extension of her style. From work meetings and casual outings to pre-festive get-togethers and micro-celebrations, Litestyle offers versatile, minimalist pieces that blend sophistication with ease. Litestyle will launch two stores, one each at Kharadi and Wakad in Pune on 22 June 2025, to be inaugurated by celebrated actress Sai Tamhankar.
The lightweight fine jewellery market in India has witnessed a strong upward trajectory, driven by rising gold prices, the evolving role of women as primary jewellery buyers, and a growing desire for practical, design-rich pieces that suit contemporary lifestyles. With the 14K and 18K gold segment now accounting for a significant share of daily-wear jewellery purchases, brands that deliver authenticity, affordability, and digital convenience are set to lead this transformation. Litestyle by PNG enters this high-growth category with a sharp, emotionally resonant positioning and an ambitious multi-channel rollout plan.
“With Litestyle, we’re responding to a clear shift in how younger consumers engage with jewellery,” said Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director, PNG Jewellers. “The demand for versatile, lightweight pieces is no longer niche; it is a growing segment driven by women who view jewellery as part of their everyday identity, not just something reserved for special occasions. This category holds immense potential, especially in urban and semi-urban India, where gold buyers are evolving rapidly. We aim to build Litestyle into a trusted name in this space, where authenticity, design, and everyday relevance come together seamlessly.”
“Litestyle is light, but we take our design seriously,” added Mr. Hemant Chavaan, Head- Marketing, E-commerce, CRM, and CSR, PNG and Litestyle. “We’re bridging the gap between ceremonial jewellery and everyday wear, making premium gold and diamond pieces more accessible and relevant. Every Litestyle piece is designed to move with you, match your pace, and make a statement, quietly and confidently.”
The brand’s retail roadmap includes the launch of 12 standalone Litestyle stores across Maharashtra in FY 2025–26, including five company-owned stores and seven franchise stores. By 2030, Litestyle by PNG plans to scale to 100 stores across India including franchisee stores.

Bvlgari Revives Its Iconic Gold & Steel Legacy With Bold New Jewellery Creations
The Roman Maison Reimagines Its Pioneering Fusion Of Gold and Stainless Steel Across B.Zero1, Tubogas and Serpenti Collections, Blending Heritage With Contemporary Innovation.
Bvlgari has introduced its new Gold & Steel Collection, marking the return of one of the Roman maison’s most distinctive design signatures—the bold combination of precious gold and stainless steel. Rooted in the brand’s pioneering creative vision of the 1970s, the latest collection brings fresh interpretations to some of Bvlgari’s most iconic creations while celebrating its enduring legacy of innovation and craftsmanship.
The new collection presents a contemporary dialogue between heritage and modern design, spanning the sculptural elegance of B.zero1, the fluid artistry of Bvlgari Tubogas, and the striking Serpenti Tubogas Studs Capsule watch collection. Together, these creations reaffirm the maison’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of jewellery design while remaining deeply connected to its Roman roots.
At the heart of the launch are two new B.zero1 rings, available in two-band and four-band versions, designed to offer enhanced lightness, comfort and versatility for everyday wear. The collection also introduces a refined Bvlgari Tubogas jewellery set, complemented by high jewellery creations that showcase the maison’s signature craftsmanship and bold aesthetic.
For Bvlgari, the Gold & Steel concept is far more than an innovative combination of materials. It represents a distinctive creative philosophy that reflects the maison’s determination to define its own design language while continually expanding its artistic vocabulary through experimentation and technical excellence.
The collection also pays tribute to a defining moment in Bvlgari’s history. During the 1970s, the maison broke with convention by introducing stainless steel into the world of fine jewellery—a material traditionally associated with strength and durability but considered exceptionally challenging to shape using jewellery-making techniques. By pairing the industrial character of steel with the timeless nobility of gold, Bvlgari created an unexpected union of contrasting materials that redefined luxury jewellery and established a design language uniquely its own.
Long celebrated for its experimental spirit, distinctive aesthetics and ingenious craftsmanship, Bvlgari continues to evolve its most iconic collections through the Gold & Steel Collection, demonstrating how innovation and heritage can coexist to create timeless jewellery with a bold contemporary identity
