WHAT IS JEWELLERY
Jewelry (or jewellry) is an adornment, usually made of precious metals and/or set with gems
(whether real or fake). Some examples include necklaces, rings, bracelets, and so on.
Jewelry is any personal adornment such is necklaces, bracelets, earrings, gold, silver, etc.
Jewellery is any decorative object worn on your clothes or body which is usually made from
valuable metals, such as gold and silver, and precious stones. They are mostly worn for
decoration and have essential for value.

HISTORY OF GOLD
The story of gold is as rich and complex as the metal itself.
In 3600 BC, the first smelting of gold was undertaken. Egyptian goldsmiths carry out the first
melting or fusing of ores in order to separate the metals inside. They use blowpipes made from
fire-resistant clay to heat the smelting furnace.
Wars have been fought for it; love has been declared with it. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs
portray gold as the brilliance of the sun; modern astronomers use mirrors coated with gold to
capture images of the heavens.
By 325 BC the Greeks had mined for gold from Gibraltar to Asia Minor. In 1300 the world's first
hallmarking system, scrutinizing and guaranteeing the quality of precious metal, is established at
Goldsmith's Hall in London - where London's Assay Office is still located today.
In 1717 Britain moves onto a de facto pure gold standard, as the government links the currency
to gold at a fixed rate (establishing a mint price of 77 shillings, ten and a half pennies per ounce
of gold). In 1848 AD James Marshall found flakes of gold whilst building a sawmill near
Sacramento and so triggered the gold rush in California.
By 1900 all major countries other than China switch to the gold standard, linking their currencies
to gold. The practice of bimetallism is abandoned. However in 1971 President Nixon of USA
"closes gold window", suspending US dollar convertibility to gold. The world enters its present
day system of floating exchange rates. In 2004 with the launch of Gold Shares, the market is
transformed by an innovative, secure and easy way to access the gold market. Six years later
SPDR exceeds $55bn in assets under management.
In the second quarter of the year 2009, central banks collectively become net purchasers of gold
for the first time in two decades. This reflects a combination of slowing sales from European
banks and growing purchases by emerging market countries.
In 2010, gold price sustains record highs. Fiat currencies are undermined by inflation fears and
successive financial crises. The London pm fix achieves 35 separate successive highs in the year
to date.

Held securely in national vaults as a reserve asset, gold has an irrefutable logic; released from the
tombs of pharaohs and emperors alike, gold has an undeniable magic.
Bullion coins and small bars offer private investors an attractive way of investing in relatively
small amounts of gold. In many countries - including the whole of the European Union - gold
purchased for investment purposes is exempt from Value Added Tax.

Changing scenario in Indian marketPreviously gold is the most preferable metal people buy for investing and for giving in the
marriage of their daughter. Gold was only metal what is in demand all the craft man ship with
the use of pure gold only. But today, the scenario has been changed by the modern way or by the
adopting the modern practice now people are more educated and more aware of diamonds with
the help of various search engine through the use of internet and from the help of government to
some extent. They are buying diamond as an investment today people are buying diamond

more preferred, also India is hub for polishing and cutting of diamond.
In ancient time jewellwery are purchased for investment purpose and for giving in the marriage,
people buy gold for investment so that in their future it help them to liquidate in money when

purchased so that they can be used like a good investment. Today due to changing scenario
people are buying gold and diamond jewellery as a fashionable accessory or as a trendy
ornaments.
As in ancient times there are kings who wear the jewellery which is more of kundan and hand
made, most of the design are very traditional type with heavy weight of gold. Today people
preferred to wear light and modern jewllery with more of fashionable design, as heavy weight
cannot be wear in day to day life.
In ancient time jeweler only have a sale in their store at the time of special occasions and at a
festival season only as it was the time people tend to buy/consume more ornaments. As this is the
peak season were the consumption of gold increases this some were also hits the selling part in
the retail industry, but due to todays changing world and due to the wide variety of jewellery are
offered by the jewelers to their clients more and more ornaments sells out people started wearing
gold in their day to day life due to modern design which is more fashionable and light in weight,

Target audience
To target our customer and to find out their taste and preference we have to know our target
audience. All we have to do is to much the taste and trend with the target audience prefrenences.
Target audience-

Demographic

Pschographic

Target audience can be classified under two parts psychographic and demographic.
Demographic audience includes age, income, education and sex.
AgeWe produce our jewellery for the age group of 18-40years, as they are the people who are large
consumer of the jewelry in Indian market. We have a collection available for the age group of18
to 25 years in diamond which is light in weight and affordable to buy even it can give as an gift

with give a very attractive appearance.
14kt plain gold collection will attract more age group below 25 years as it will be so high in
range to hit their pocket, they can buy the product easily due to its affordable or low price.
Household IncomeOne of the important factor is also the income group of the customers. Income will differ from
customer to customer as higher education is done will have high group of income earned, were
the people having low education would come into middle or lower income group or segment.
People with higher income group would consume more gold and diamond jewellery as they have
higher income bracket, their household income would be above 7-8 lacs per annum, as they will
prefer to but high end and luxury jewelleries as it should much their status symbol, they tend to
buy more of exclusive products like diamonds jewellery which would more of diamonds in it,
like high value sets contains of solitarie and with precious stones etc.

20

Middle income groupThey are the people whose income will be in between 2-3 lacs. Middle income are the people
who consume maximum of the gold, as they are the people who buys the jewellery from the
range of around 25k approx. for this income group jeweler keeps a wide range of variety as they
target most of them to increase their sells.
Lower incomeLower income group of people are those who education and income as also low, due to their
lower education the consumption limit is also low, they usually buy from the local jeweler . they
also tend to consume gold upto certain limit.

SexUsually in India, the gold consumption are taken place by women and men itself.
The ratio to buy jewllery compare with men is more for women. Women age from 18 to 35 will
be the major group people.

21

Psychographic segmentation
Lifestyle- Ganesh jewellery and company founded that around 40% of the Indian women are
working and they targeted this segment with a specific group of products called collection-G,
which are basically for the women who works in the office time from 9am to 5 pm. The
speciality of these product is it is light in weight and more of hand and easy to wear in day to day
life. This type of jewellery gives very nice lookm on the working women as it has a special finish
known as oxide finish which gives very modern and internatrional look to the women, it is
design in keeping in mind the attire of the women working in the office, though it is modern in
look it can be preferably wore in any attire like formals, Salwar suits and dresses.

ValueValue should be value for money, people buy the jewellery so that they can see them in future it
is worth. Todays many jeweler has invented many promotional scheme for the buyer like for egtanishq jeweler they have their scheme known as golden harvest and swarn niddhi. Which is
creating a value of gold and diamond in customer mind they said that to plan their jewllery they
can first plan it by easy installment and even it works like11+1 scheme , in that customer have to
install for 11 month on monthly basis and 1 or last installment is contributed from company
itself. today such scheme is creating value in the mind of people.
AttitudeAttitude could differ from person to person, attitude is not same for all the customer some will
have positive and some will have negative attitude towards the products. Attitude cannot be
judeged it should be created in the consumer mind regarding our product specilaity and the
features of the product.

Indian Diamond Industry

Indian Diamond Industry has developed to great extent in the recent years and has emerged as
the forerunner in the Gem and Jewellery industry.

Indian Diamond Industry is mainly involved with cutting, polishing and exporting diamonds.
Diamonds cut and polished in India are universally prized, and India has emerged as the
largest
diamond-cutting centre in the world. Although India pioneered in the cutting of small
diamonds
yet today, its craftsmen are equally skilled at cutting all shapes and sizes of stones, and even
at
faceting coloured diamonds. Mumbai, Surat, Ahmedabad,Bhavnagar and many small towns
in Gujarat are the main polishing centres of the country. The industry employs one
million
people, accounting for 95 per cent of the workforce of the world`s diamond industry.
India is precursor in the gem industry and a world leader in the manufacturing of cut and
refined
diamonds. The Indian diamond industry today is a result of perseverance and hard work. After
India became independent in 1947, for several years, the nation`s economy was in the
depression. Several views for business and commerce opened up as new policies came into
place, journey towards progress and development also began for the diamond industry.
The Indian diamond industry was a scattered cottage industry only three decades ago. Now
the
industry has gradually evolved into a modern, mechanised, large-scale operation. Today, with
state of the art laser machines, lathes and diamond-impregnated scaives, most of the medium
and large sized diamond factories are well operational. In the world of jewellery industry, this

Commerce and has helped to form a better understanding between the diamond industry and the
Government. The chief function of the council is to develop and promote the export of gems
and jewellery from India and to contribute towards establishing a code of ethics to ensure that

to be brought into the country to be sold, the Government has legitimated the setting up of
bonded warehouses. The unsold diamonds can then be exported without any duty or tax. The
Government is also constantly slackening its policies. Creating the Export Promotion Zones
(EPZ) and Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in order to help and promote the export of gems and
jewellery from the country is undoubtedly a new step for the betterment of the industry.
