EVOLUTION IN GOLD JEWELLERY SHOPPING: HOW OUR PARENTS SHOP V/S HOW WE SHOP FOR JEWELLERY

There is an evident difference in the way parents (older generations) shop for gold jewellery as compared to their  children’s (newer generations) in today’s time. 

 

Unveiling Generational Dynamic of Gold Jewellery Shopping Trends

In the ever-evolving landscape of consumer behaviour, the juxtaposition of old and new generations’ approaches to jewellery shopping is a fascinating study. The interplay between tradition and modernity manifests in the choices individuals make when acquiring the precious jewellery. Let’s understand the dynamics to connect with  the nuances that differentiate  the shopping patterns of the old guard from the tastes of the current contemporary generation.

A latest study by the World Gold Council (WGC), has revealed interesting trends especially the millennials and Gen-z  have been very active in the gold jewellery  investments arena in the last couple of years. This behaviour has expanded due to the availability of information on the importance of gold and its emotional – cultural aspects has helped maintain the motivation to acquire gold jewellery amongst the current generations especially through the ease of purchase that online channels bring. 

It’s crucial to note that the demand for better designs and consumer experience, a growing awareness about hallmarking, better pricing structures and competitive return policies, as well as the introduction of GST and demonetisation, have all accelerated the shift towards chain stores, too.

  1. Trust Was Deeply Rooted Among the Old Generation

Across generations, local, trusted jewellers have been a beacon of reliability. For the older generation, trust was cultivated through time-honoured relationships. In contrast, the new generation seeks trust in certified excellence and innovative designs, seamlessly bridging heritage and modernity.

  1. Sustainable Sway: Millennials Leading the Charge

In a world increasingly attuned to environmental concerns, the younger generations are wielding their purchasing power to advocate for sustainable and ethical practices in the jewellery industry. 82% of millennials actively seek out brands that prioritise ethical sourcing of materials and environmentally friendly production methods. This stands in stark contrast to the older generation, where only 42% consider sustainability a decisive factor in their purchasing decisions, as per a study done in the  post-pandemic period. 

The evolved eye of the new generation extends beyond aesthetics, with a growing awareness of the impact their choices have on the planet. Millennials and Gen Z are propelling the jewellery industry towards greater accountability and responsibility, gradually. 

  1. Sentimental Investments: A Timeless Thread of Tradition

While the motive of acquisition may differ, one aspect unites both generations—the compelling significance of jewellery as a sentimental investment. A comprehensive Post Pandemic study uncovered that a remarkable 92% of respondents from both age groups consider the emotional value of a piece as paramount in their decision-making process.

For the older generation, jewellery embodies a repository of memories, with pieces often passed down through generations. In contrast, the new generation views jewellery as a symbol of self-expression and individuality, style and social symbols stitching their narratives through personalised pieces that connect with their unique life stories and journeys or purposes. 

In Conclusion:

In the vivid  generational preferences on jewellery shopping, one resonating truth rises—Antara Jewellery in Mumbai,  stands as a timeless bridge connecting the conventional and the modern. As we navigate the shifting waves of consumer preferences, we  acknowledge  and understand the importance of embracing both worlds.

TOP 10 JEWELLERY TRENDS SHOWCASED ON INSTAGRAM

Presenting the most coveted Gold & Diamond Jewellery styles, eyed by every instagram influencer and taking over the social media town.

Instagram has replaced window shopping in the most elaborate way. You can find accessory trends, any fashion alerts and of course anything on Instagram.

While Instagram is helpful to find these trends, it is often hard to go through the massive clutter online. This is why we have put together the top 10 Instagram trends in the gold and diamond jewellery space. Read on to find out –

Rose Gold Cocktail Rings

Why do women love rose gold? It comes closest to ‘pink gold’. Cocktail rings are statement pieces, but when crafted in rose gold, they become more versatile to wear. The soft blush of the rose gold adds subtlety to the bold rings, making them a blind-eye pick for a day-time occasion or an evening traditional event.

 

Diamond & Emerald Stone Weaving

Imagine wearing a necklace woven with diamonds and emerald stones to adorn your neck at a formal evening occasion. This perfect Diamond-Emerald pattern knit together in a symmetrical design as if to resemble a blanket of stars.

 

Mother of Pearl Designs

This trend has picked up during the spring season that was all about pastels and floral designs. But we think this is a classic evergreen trend, a design piece that rarely goes out of style. The green effect blossoms in the mother of pearl designer ring will definitely earn a lot of compliments for you.

 

Meenakari Work

Meenakari has been an art that comes with a legacy, carried forward through the ages. The handwork is truly beautiful in every design, however this year we have seen something new with this art. This contemporary piece named ‘Neelkamal’ from our Mighty Variety Festive Necklace Collection exhibits the most perfect blend of the night into jewellery, making it a trend to follow.

 

Convertible Jewellery

A delightful conversation between the wearer and her heritage – discovering gold and diamond opulence that transcends time. A 2 in 1 convertible hand accessory piece – that turns a bracelet turning into earrings involving incredible craftsmanship work.

 

Stacking and Layering

In today’s day and age – the concept of less is more lies redundant on Instagram. More is always more. More is always going to catch the eye. So go for more – Wear a 3 layered necklace and stack up! Tip – You can do this for bracelets or rings also.

 

Fusion – Jadau X Diamond Designing

Fusion is always tricky, but when done right it is a masterpiece! Just like that the trend of fusion jewellery has been extended to jadau as well. Revamp your look with this style and get on that bandwagon.

 

Wear it to work!

We see so many bloggers/celebrities wearing bling to work. Subtlety infused with design is your mantra to being fashionable at work. Pick these trendy yet classic designs to wear to work and wake up every Monday morning to some bling!

 

 

Mix and Match

Mixing and matching contrasting designs that create a unique look is what the trendsetters are sporting on the internet. The simplest way to do this is to pick bold necklaces with earrings – this adds some edge to the classic look but also embraces elegance at the same time.

 

Intricate Filigree work

Finally, the last but definitely not the least – Filigree work. Filigree work is a delicate design made out of gold that makes it look like a meshed or woven pattern. This work is truly a craft that can be mastered by only some – that’s why it is an eye catcher on the internet.
