Handmade jewellery is in high demand worldwide, especially in fashion‑centric markets. India’s rich heritage and skilled artisans give it a competitive edge.
Grades and specifications
Buyers look for clarity, cut, and weight for precious stones, and purity for metals. Packaging must be tamper‑proof, moisture‑free, and include a certificate of authenticity. Consistent sizing and colour grading help build trust and repeat business.
Target markets
Key destinations are the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and the Middle East, where consumers value craftsmanship and heritage. Growth is driven by premium retail chains, online platforms, and diaspora communities seeking authentic Indian pieces.
