As unrealistic and unbelievable as it may sound, jewellery, which is conventionally put to a woman’s adornment, bears as much a potential to rev up economic significance in India. The jewellery industry is considered to be one major source of investment. It comes as no wonder that women have a natural propensity towards jewellery, and the growing demand can largely be attributed to the same, says a student of a fashion school.
India continues to be at the forefront of gold consumption accounting for at least 20% of the world gold consumption. That might be the reason that the industry still continues to employ millions of people. Indian jewellery has its roots deeply entrenched in age old traditions and has as much an ancient history pivoted to it with centuries of its own distinct designs, patterns and art forms.
For centuries, the art of making jewellery has been ignorantly, and solely, been associated with traditional ‘karigars’ and goldsmiths who apparently inherited the art from their forefathers and ancestors. Jewellery designing had largely been limited to them and if one wished to pursue the same, they would have to become an apprentice to an experienced jeweller. But with revolutionizing of the jewellery industry, and with a positive outburst in the fashion and accessories arena, the field is becoming as much of a preferred choice as any other conventional field is. Jewellery designing courses are rapidly are coming back on the radars. The great demand for Jewellery designers and professionals like gen appraisers has notched up the industry to a whole new level, too. The market for branded ornaments is hence opening up faster than ever before.
Contrary to popular perceptions, the fast growing jewellery business in the country is siphoned incredible career opportunities, particularly for the younger generation that wants to indulge in creativity. Graduates with specialization in Jewellery design and management are in great demand for taking care of the jewellery business.
