We will showcase a traditional gold jewellery with a modern twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these are best suited for the current consumer demand, as I said before, even during the pandemic, fine jewellery is being bought. Many buyers are compensating for the loss of travel \u2014 or just treating themselves. For the first time, jewellers are enjoying a festival and wedding season unburdened by competition from their No. 1 rival, travel. And this is just one way to explain the category\u2019s unexpected resilience during a year of crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you focusing more on the Bridal jewellery segment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we are largely focussing on the bridal jewellery segment. Since people now are realising that life is short, and \u2018why don\u2019t we get married?\u2019 As a diamond and jewellery industry analyst for many years, I think a large part of the wedding buying is now based on love, emotions, and the fragility of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Will you be offering lightweight jewellery? If yes, could you kindly provide technical details on the technology\/methods used to reduce gold weight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we will. Laxmi Diamond as a brand is known for lightweight diamond jewellery over the years. That being the core of our business we will always continue to explore and expand. We are using modern technologies and innovation to reduce the metal weight and making diamond jewellery more affordable to the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is trending in India in terms of diamond jewellery (cuts, colour, clarity, carats, etc.)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian market has been very fluid in the last few years; in fact, the newest trend is how to make jewellery more affordable. Hence a lot of retailers in the different parts of the countries are now open to using various diamond qualities depending on the product types along with fashion trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How are you addressing the jewellery preferences of Millennials and Gen Z?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennials are a \u201cgeneration of experience and not of possession\u201d. This shows that understanding their preferences, values, lifestyle, tastes, and desires is essential for the segment of jewellery business that could grow exponentially through the digital medium. Relatively affordable diamonds and mid-range pricing is what we are focussing on for Gen Z; knowing their taste and desire and building a proposition around it is how we choose to address their preferences. Also, the younger consumer groups are involved in social and environmental issues and are concerned about ethical trading. This is where we, as Laxmi Diamond, have always been a pioneer and leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any other comment you would like to share.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A regeneration is underway as we are looking towards the IIJS 2021, a physical show after almost two years to take to the fore and create distinctive category trends for the upcoming seasons. Customers will, and do, purchase jewellery, and the key is to create a seamless customer journey that conveys the narrative of each piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-1024x247.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10912 lazyload\" width=\"543\" height=\"130\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-1024x247.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-300x72.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-768x185.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-450x108.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-225x54.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-900x217.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-1350x325.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-20x5.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv-399x96.jpg 399w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/vadvadv.jpg 1420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitesh Gajera, Owner, Laxmi Diamond Pvt.
