US jewellery, watches sales up by 4.4 per cent year-on-year
Sales of watches and jewelry in the US showed further signs of growth in December 2024, up 4.4 per cent year-on-year, according the latest figures from the US Department of Commerce. But there’s been a marked slowdown since the 10 per cent increases of last September and October.
November saw sales up by just 3.0 per cent, revised down from 5.8 per cent based on actual through-the-till transactions rather than estimates. October has been revised up from 9.7 per cent to 10.0 per cent.
The average monthly year-on-year growth for the full year is 5.4 per cent, so December was little below par. Having said that, it was the 15th consecutive month of growth after a long period (the end of 2022 and much of 2023) of falling sales.

CaratLane Celebrates Gifting With A Thoughtful Twist, With Mother’s Day Campaign Featuring Yami Gautam Dhar
CaratLane Amplifies Mother’s Day Emotions With A Dual-Gifting Narrative, Spotlighting Self-Love Alongside Gratitude
A Tata Group product is flooding television screens across the country with its Mother’s Day campaign featuring brand ambassador Yami Gautam Dhar. Centred around the idea of gifting mothers a diamond as a symbol of love and a reflection of gratitude, and gifting yourself a diamond, because you’re her favourite.
The first two films of the campaign saw high-impact visibility during the ongoing Indian Premier League, with placements across Star Sports and JioHotstar, complemented by strong regional presence on channels like Colours Tamil, Jalsha Movies and Star Utsav Movies. Together, these drove widespread national and regional reach for the brand.
The film has been released just in time for Mother’s Day — celebrating the joy of gifting, with a heartwarming twist of choosing something for mom, and a little something for yourself.
Shaifali Gautam, CMO – CaratLane, remarked,

“As we return for our second season advertising on the Indian Premier League, the platform allows us to take our stories to millions of households across the country. This Mother’s Day, with Yami at the centre, we’ve focused on celebrating the emotion of gifting in a way that feels both personal and relatable. Because when it comes to a mother’s love, what you share is priceless — and the pieces you choose to express it should feel just as special. At CaratLane, we believe that expressing love should feel effortless, and never out of reach.”
Built around the idea of thoughtful gifting, the campaign encourages customers to celebrate Mother’s Day with meaningful diamond jewellery. Through this initiative and others, the brand continues to redefine fine jewellery for the modern consumer, making it more personal, wearable, and within reach for every celebration.
