The World Gold Council Launches “The Moment Is Gold” Campaign
Celebrating everyday moments with gold jewellery
The World Gold Council today unveiled its new gold jewellery campaign in India. ‘The Moment is Gold’ campaign aims to enhance the relevance and aspiration of gold jewellery amongst Gen Z and Millennials. The campaign showcases gold jewellery as an integral part of everyday moments and fosters a deeper emotional connection with gold, while positioning it as a reflection of modern, aspirational lifestyles. It aims to extend gold jewellery’s appeal beyond key life events such as weddings and festivals and encourages individuals to celebrate everyday moments and occasions that enrich their lives.
Speaking about ‘The Moment is Gold’ campaign, Arti Saxena, Head of Marketing, India, World Gold Council said, “With ‘The Moment Is Gold’ campaign, we are celebrating the richness of everyday life. Our campaign is about creating a new social currency for gold, one that resonates deeply with Gen Z and Millennials who are finding unique ways to express themselves. The campaign seeks to encourage them to cherish their personal ‘gold moments’ – be it a personal achievement, a small victory, a moment of connection, and by symbolizing these moments with the enduring beauty and value of gold.”
GJEPC India has also supported the campaign that promotes gold jewellery category in India.
The campaign, has been conceptualised by BBDO India, tells the story of a young man at a concert who momentarily loses sight of his girlfriend in the crowd. His relief is palpable when he finally spots her, thanks to the familiar gold jewellery she is wearing. This subtle yet significant moment underscores how gold can provide comfort and a personal touch, even in unexpected, everyday situations.
Josy Paul, Chairman & Chief Creative Officer, BBDO India said; “For generations, gold has been tied to life’s monumental milestones. With ‘The Moment Is Gold’, we’re reframing that tradition – by celebrating the spontaneous, everyday moments that carry meaning. It’s about giving gold a fresh, youthful relevance: not just for the big chapters of life, but also for the small, golden sparks that make every day extraordinary.”
The campaign will be live across television, digital and OTT platforms, CTV, social media and print. The media partner is WPP media.

GJEPC Auckland Visit Targets Growth In India-NZ Jewellery Trade
The Opportunity In New Zealand Is Significant Relative To The Current Level Of Jewellery Trade. India’s Gem and Jewellery Exports To New Zealand Rose 50.56% To US$25.46 Million In FY2025-26, From US$16.91 Million In FY2024-25.
The GJEPC trade delegation’s Auckland programme has highlighted the scope for expanding India’s gem and jewellery exports to New Zealand as the two countries move towards implementing their recently concluded Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
The Auckland visit was part of GJEPC’s Australia and New Zealand trade delegation, held from 20-26 August 2026, with the delegation focused on connecting Indian manufacturers and exporters with buyers and industry stakeholders across the two markets.
The opportunity in New Zealand is significant relative to the current level of jewellery trade. India’s gem and jewellery exports to New Zealand rose 50.56% to US$25.46 million in FY2025-26, from US$16.91 million in FY2024-25.
The recently concluded India-New Zealand FTA is expected to create further opportunities for Indian exporters. New Zealand has committed to duty-free access for Indian exports across 100% of its tariff lines once the agreement enters into force.
On 26th August, Vijay Mangukiya, Convener – International Events, GJEPC and leader of the delegation, met Dr. Madan Mohan Sethi, Consul General of India in Auckland. Mangukiya has said the delegation was aimed at bringing Indian manufacturers and exporters closer to buyers and industry stakeholders in both Australia and New Zealand, with the objective of identifying new business opportunities and developing long-term partnerships.
The delegation’s Auckland market visits covered a broad cross-section of the local jewellery sector, including Michael Hill, Wallace Bishop, Hardy Brothers, Prouds, and Partridge Jewellers. The delegation also observed international luxury and contemporary jewellery brands including Van Cleef & Arpels, Roberto Coin, Messika and FOPE, reflecting the competitive environment in which Indian exporters would be seeking to establish or expand relationships.
India’s exports of individual jewellery categories to New Zealand also recorded strong growth in FY2025-26. Gold jewellery exports rose 84% to US$17.47 million, while silver jewellery exports doubled to US$0.91 million. Lab-grown diamond exports rose 2% to US$0.63 million, and imitation jewellery increased 13.16% to US$0.43 million. Cut and polished diamond exports were US$5.76 million.
The figures underline the growing contribution of finished jewellery to India’s New Zealand business. With the FTA expected to improve market access and the Auckland market showing demand across gold, diamonds, coloured stones, pearls and branded jewellery, GJEPC’s delegation is seeking to convert this existing growth into deeper commercial relationships.
