A guide to find the best jewelry in India
Jewelry has been very special to every Indian woman since, ancient ages. Most of us may not know that India has the largest personal holdings of gold in the world. Buying jewelry or gold or silver has always been Indian population’s favorite investment option and not just investment, jewelry has also been a part of many traditions in India and all over the world. This has led to introduction of different types and designs of jewelry in Indian markets. New brands and international designers are coming to Indian markets. Here are some of the most popular jewelry houses in India.
India based jewelry houses
Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri: A prominent jewelry retailer chain who has been in business for several generations; this legendry jewelry brand opened the doors of their first shop 150 years ago when India was filled with royal families well known for their extravagant lifestyle. Since then the country has turned into one of the fastest growing modern economy, but Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri’s hold as jeweller with par excellence and an innate sense of loyalty and trust in its consumers has stayed innate.
Local jewelry outlets
Popley and Sons: a very popular name in Dubai gold market, the chain of jewellery stores owned by two feuding brothers of the Popley family finally made its return to India in a big way. The brothers maintain spacious showrooms in posh localities of Mumbai, India that offer a wide range of gold, diamond, platinum jewellery and silver artifacts.
Vaman Hari Pethe: An authentic retailer of the distinctive Maharshtrian style of jewellery making, Vaman Hari Pethe maintains a noted presence in most cities of Maharashtra. This jewellery store offers exclusive jewellery designs including the noteworthy, traditional nose ring worn by every Marathi bride on her big day.
Indian conglomerate all set to make it big in jewellery market
Tata is perhaps the only conglomerate that has barged into the jewellery market in the country with their flagship establishment Tanishq. Initially the designs offered by the company did not appeal to the Indian women; however, the economic slowdown in the West gave Tanishq the opportunity to come back home with their jewelleries. Soon, designs were created to meet the demands of the Indian market, which still harbored a need to move towards traditional jewelleries. While living up to the expectations of Indian consumers, Tanishq set new standards in product reliability in the country.
International players entering the Indian jewellery
India’s growing economy and the financial prosperity of the country’s huge consumer base has proved irresistible to many foreign players who have made their presence felt in the major cities of the country. The first of them was Italian jewellery brand Pplatini. However, the subdued Italian jewellery making style which mostly used 14 and 18 carat gold did not appeal to Indian consumers who vied for the luster of 22 and 23 carat jewellery. As a result, the company had to close down its outlets in some parts of the country.
However, this did not stop other popular jewellery brands away from India. Some of the renowned international jewellers who have slowly but steadily created a place for themselves in the Indian markets include D’Damas, Damas, Asria and others; however, these establishments have initially concentrated their efforts in the diamond market.
Most of major jewelry houses have their small or big outlets in Mumbai. There are innumerable jewellers in Mumbai, you can easily find them using any local search engine. After going through different types of designs and prices, you can shortlist shops and check out them personally, by getting address and contact number from local search engines.
