The dark clouds started hovering the Indian jewellery industry with finance minister Nirmala Sithraman proposing to increase customs duty on gold and other precious metals from 10% to 12.5%.  This was the time when the industry was demanding to reduce the gold import duty. Gold imports play a very vital role in the Indian economy, but the latest proposal just gusted it all. Our jeweller’s disappointment over the proposal stands right as, at the time when the industry is going through a lull phase, a positive announcement would have encouraged the sector.

The most auspicious day of the year to buy gold is Dhanteras, which falls on Nov. 5, two days before the Hindu festival of Diwali and the Jewellers are busy stocking their inventories with spectacular collections. Agree that  surge in domestic prices to the highest level in more than two years may have some impact but I eco my thoughts with the GJC chairman Nitin Khandelwal who is optimistic with sales as it is festive season and people will definitely purchase jewellery. 

Positivity is something that keeps every one marching ahead and growing and the perfect example for optimism, hard work and passion would be K Srinivasan, MD Emerald Jewels. In an exclusive interview he shares his entrepreneurial journey with us. 

Our other columns  are equally informative and a visual treat. May this Diwali bring you the utmost in peace and prosperity and brighten your life.

With so many celebrity weddings happening around, the wedding season has truly arrived in India. The Indian wedding industry is over Rs 100,000 crore and is growing at 25 to 30 per cent annually. Jewellery plays a very key role occupying more that 60% of the wedding market.We are celebrating this phenomenon with a special coverstory on the bridal jewellery trends 2018, an exclussively curated coverage.

The more things change, the more they stay the same is an English translation of a 19th century French saying and is an apt way to describe the gold market of last year. The average annual dollar gold prices rose a mere 0.5% in 2017, a stark contrast to all prior years this century which have seen moves (whether up or down) of more than 5% and typically double-digit. We present  the excerpts of annual GFMS survey as a special coverage in this issue.

Along with other regular articles, news and special coverages, we strive to make every issue  a carefully planned and presented source of information.

With wedding season approaching, we hope things will improve in coming days. Wishing everyone  happy and prosperous business times ahead.

The industry has to battle new regulations, trust issues due to some members of the industry choose to do business differently. The industry is slowly limping back to business and we sincerely hope that the bad days for the industry are over. It is also very important for the industry to stand together and work towards winning back the trust from various quarters of the society and we are happy that the work has already started in this regard.

Introduction of the 3 percent Goods and Services Tax (GST) at the start of July was a contributing factor for less jewellery demand. A large swathe of Indian consumers had pre-empted the introduction of GST by bringing forward their gold purchases to Q2. This left demand a little flat at the beginning of July. The jewellery trade also writhed with the new tax system. Another issue during the year was the launch of anti-money laundering regulation adding more woes to the industry which was introduced in Aug 2017. Due to stiff opposition from the industry, the government lifted the PMLA from the gems and jewellery sector in early October.

Whatsoever be the issues, the Indian jewellery industry always stayed strong fighting the challenges and moving ahead. This shows the unity and the commitment of our fellow jewellers which further encouraged the jewellery trade. Nothing can stop the industry from growing bigger and reaching greater heights. Though the market will continue to adapt to GST, allowing demand to recover to a certain extent and the contemporary designs and trends will encourage demand.

Let’s see what the year 2018  will bring for the jewellery industry and I am sure it is going to be more fruitful and positive for the trade. 2018 also witnessed the appointment of new leaders of GJEPC. I take this platform to convey my heartiest congratulations to the new Chairman of GJEPC Mr Pramod Agarwal and Mr Colin Shah as Vice Chairman of GJEPC.

Nothing is stagnant in this world and Govt policies are the best example for this. Recent amendments, announcements, implementations did not only bring solace to jewellers but brought in a positive outlook for the industry.
 
GST…  The 3-letters buzzing around in the jewellery industry for quite some time finally made its grand rate entry with 3 per cent on jewellery, bringing relief to the jewellery industry. Though every state had different GST rate to suggest, the Govt made a smart decision with 3% announcement taking the jewellery flocks into confidence. A Bravo move by the Govt…must say….  Another step by the Govt that cheered up the industry was reduction in GST  on making charge from 18% to 5%.

For all the thought times it gave to the industry whether it was GST, PAN Card, Excise Duty or Demonetisation, the year 2016 gave an excellent opportunity for the Indian Gem and Jewellery Industry to become more organised and transparent. It is now up to the industry to nudge itself to change and the results are already visible. The individual business houses began the process of getting organised, getting digital and getting consumer driven. JewelBuzz predicts that 2017 will be an year of consolidation and 2018 will give the industry much to cheer about with market expansions, better margins and beginning of a growth phase.

Being one of the oldest industry in India, it has seen many ups and downs but never has experienced a moment which presented an excellent opportunity for the industry to transform itself into a transparent and organised entity. But again, it is easier said than done. The process of getting organised and transparent should start from each individual member and translate into a movement progressing towards a more organised industry.

JewelBuzz spoke to some of the prominent thought leaders in the trade on the way forward for the industry post demonetisation and presenting their views in this exclusive special coverage. They spoke on the five key issues of moving towards an organised industry, changes in overall business, product and promotion strategies and the role of associations and councils.

Gem and Jewellery Trade Council of India, GJTCI ,an ISO 9001 certified Non Governmental Organisation, was established in the year 2000 with the objective of working for the development of the national gems and jewellery business.  Constituted with the mission of unifying the gems and jewellery business under one platform, the Council indulges itself in disseminating latest information to its jeweler-members through imparting educational training in all aspects of manufacturing and designing, organising various educative and trade motivational events viz. Exhibitions, Seminars, Workshops, Buyer Seller Meet, Foreign Trade Delegation, Award Function, Shopping Festival, etc.

With strength of over 1100 members spread all over the country & abroad, the Council is primarily involved in introducing the Indian gem & jewellery products to the domestic and international market. Council informs its members of various fairs and exhibitions taking place around the world.

Council also continuously works towards creating best artisans / designers to consolidate the Indian jewellery industry and establish it as a prominent player in the jewellery segment.

Gold demand in Q2 followed the trends from the prior quarter: huge ETF infl ows counterbalanced by anaemic jewellery demand amid rising prices. Investment was the largest component of gold demand for two consecutive quarters –the fi rst time this has ever happened.

Hailed as one of the largest gem & jewellery trade shows in Asia, 33 rd edition of IIJS once again established itself as a force to reckon with. At a time when Indian GJ industry is going through tough times, it was IIJS who came to the rescue and infused confidence and positivity into the industry.

The wedding season will arrive soon and jewellers will be refining thier marketing strategies to get the best out of the season.

The May issue talks about how it can effectively be used to reach and engage new and existing customers.
