The Whisper of 24KT: Redefining Diamond Jewellery in India
By Akash Talesara,President sales and Business Development- SKY GOLD LTD
Light, luminous, and meticulously crafted—jewellery today speaks in subtle brilliance. It is no longer just about tradition or display; it is deeply personal, reflecting one’s identity, emotions, and a desire for effortless luxury. At Sky Gold & Diamonds, this transformation takes center stage with India’s first-ever 24KT diamond jewellery collection. By uniting the brilliance of diamonds with gold in its purest form, the brand creates pieces that feel weightless yet profoundly precious.
Purity has always been a defining part of Sky Gold’s DNA. Gold, in its 24KT form, represents perfection—an ideal that, when paired with diamonds, results in creations that are visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
Crafting the Impossible
Designing with 24KT gold presents a formidable challenge. Its softness makes diamond-setting an intricate art, demanding precision and mastery. To perfect this craft, Sky Gold collaborated with international experts, master jewellers, and metallurgical specialists from Italy and Hong Kong. Months of experimentation and countless trials led to a deep understanding of the material’s nuances. The journey required patience, science, and artistry—each attempt bringing them closer to redefining fine jewellery while honouring the natural beauty of gold.
Through this process, the brand discovered that perfection takes time. Every misstep revealed the rhythm of the metal, teaching lessons in patience and precision. Balancing purity with durability became the ultimate test—ensuring diamonds remained secure without compromising the integrity of 24KT gold required innovation and persistence. The result is jewellery that feels ethereal yet enduring, glowing with quiet confidence.
The Era of Lightweight Luxury
As gold prices soar, lightweight diamond jewellery is shaping the future of modern luxury. Today’s consumers seek pieces that are versatile—graceful, minimal, and effortlessly beautiful. This evolving demand has influenced Sky Gold’s design language, which seamlessly blends India’s artistic heritage with contemporary silhouettes and subtle sophistication.
Innovation with a Heart
Behind this collection lies advanced R&D and cutting-edge technology. Sky Gold’s workshops employ high-precision CAD systems, laser tools, and 3D modelling to enhance detail while preserving the human touch of artisanal craftsmanship. Technology may provide precision, but the soul of each piece remains handcrafted. Artisans infuse emotion into every curve and setting—because while machines can replicate form, only human hands can shape feeling.
Jewellery as Legacy
Gold has always symbolized trust and enduring value. When paired with diamonds, it transcends material wealth to become a vessel of memory and meaning—something passed down not just as inheritance, but as emotion. Today’s consumers view jewellery differently; it is no longer reserved for grand occasions. Instead, people choose pieces that mirror their individuality—a powerful shift that defines the new era of fine jewellery.
Sky9 line unveiled at DShow, Goa
At the DShow in Goa Sky Gold & Diamonds unveiled new expressions of lightweight diamond artistry under its Sky9 line—designed for modern collectors who believe that true luxury should feel as light as it looks. Visitors experienced exclusive previews of designs that embody purity, innovation, and emotion at their finest.
With India’s first 24KT diamond jewellery collection, Sky Gold & Diamonds is not merely setting a new benchmark—it is shaping the very future of fine jewellery.
The brand’s philosophy remains clear and timeless: “Our goal isn’t to chase trends. It is to craft pieces that outlast them—jewellery that celebrates purity and the beauty of what is real.”

The Great Jewellery Retail Reset: Are You Ready for What’s Coming Next?
By Shivaram A,Retail Business Mentor
As gold prices fluctuate and customer mindsets evolve, the jewellery retail business stands at a turning point. Those who adapt with guidance will thrive — others may struggle to stay relevant.
Over the last year, jewellers across India have been living through a storm of uncertainty. Gold rates have risen, fallen, and risen again — shaking customer confidence and confusing buying behaviour. While many stores reported higher sales values during festive months, the actual number of pieces sold told a different story.
Customers were walking in — but walking out with fewer items. The same budgets, smaller volumes. The emotional connect with gold remained, but the buying intent was changing quietly beneath the surface.
A Shift in Buying Behaviour: Lighter, Smarter, More Selective
Jewellery, once seen as a long-term investment, is now also viewed through the lens of practicality and personal style. The younger buyer isn’t chasing weight anymore; they’re chasing meaning, design, and comfort.
Heavy necklaces and bangle sets have become slower movers, while rings, earrings, and lightweight chains are finding quick takers. Even as the “value” of inventory rises with gold prices, the “velocity” of sales — how quickly products move — has slowed down.
This creates an illusion of growth on paper but a challenge in reality: slower rotation, tighter margins, and customers whose expectations are changing faster than most jewellers are prepared for.
Two Customers, Two Worlds
At one end are traditional families — loyal, price-conscious, and deeply rooted in their relationship with their family jeweller. At the other end stands the new-age urban customer — salaried, educated, and brand-aware.
This second group is the real disruptor. They don’t see gold as an emergency asset but as an accessory that defines lifestyle. They browse online, compare designs across stores, and choose convenience over custom.
For them, jewellery is fashion — not finance. And that single shift is rewriting the rules of the game.
Competition Is Heating Up
As independent jewellers fight to maintain margins, larger chains are expanding quietly — opening new showrooms, entering Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns, and capturing the very customers smaller stores once depended on.
Adding to the mix are non-jewellery investors and new entrants drawn by the industry’s steady performance compared to other sectors. With over 10,000 new stores expected to open in the next few years, competition will only intensify.
This means the traditional family jeweller can no longer depend solely on legacy, relationships, or word-of-mouth. What’s needed now is strategy, structure, and smarter decision-making — powered by data, training, and mentorship.
Change Is Hard — But Help Is Available
Transitioning from a legacy business model to a modern retail approach isn’t easy. It involves rethinking everything from sales processes to staff mindset, from customer experience to inventory strategy.
But the good news is — you don’t have to do it alone.
Every successful transformation begins with one conversation — a discussion about where you are, what’s changing, and how to move forward one step at a time.
That’s where mentorship makes the difference. A seasoned guide can help you see patterns others miss, avoid expensive mistakes, and build a roadmap that’s realistic and sustainable.
Jewellery retail is evolving — and those who evolve with it will shine brighter in the years ahead.
While change is always tough, it is also necessary. The key is to take it step by step, guided by experience and insight.
