Indians just can’t enough of jewellery! Whether it is gold, platinum, diamonds or precious stones, there is a huge market for each in the country. In 2014, Indians purchased 662 tons of gold jewellery worth $26.9 billion, as per the World Gold Council. At the same time, Platinum retail sales in India grew by 28% in 2014, according to the Platinum Guild International.

These figures are important because it not only reflects the country’s obsession with jewellery but it also indicates how jewellery designing is flourishing and becoming one of the fastest growing industrial segments today.

Earlier, wearing jewellery was about financial security, status and family relics. However, people are no more looking at jewellery to store in their lockers. They are buying all sorts of jewellery designs to wear on different occasions and to make an impression. It has become more like a style statement and people are setting trends with the variety of jewellery designs available in the market. Timeless jewellery has a lot of takers because it is sustainable and lasts a lifetime.

Considering this scenario, jewellery designing can be a great career option for you if you have an artistic bend of mind, a creative flair and a fetish for jewellery. It will also help if you get some formal education, for it will boost your skills and teach you new ones, such as stone cutting, engraving and polishing!
