Overview

The abolition of the Gold Control Act in 1992, allowed large export houses to import gold freely.

In 1993, gold and diamond mining were opened up for private investors

foreign investors were allowed to own half the equity in mining ventures

In 1997, overseas banks and bullion suppliers were also allowed to import gold into India

This allowed the entry of foreign players like DeBeers,Tiffany and Cartiers into the Indian market.

WHAT LED TO PROLIFERATION OF BRANDED JEWELLERY PLAYERS??

The Indian market was witnessing an accelerated shift from viewing jewellery as an investment to regarding it as aesthetically appealing ornaments. The focus had shifted from content to design.

The younger generation was looking at trendy, contemporary jewellery and clearly avoiding heavy, traditional gold jewellery.

The consumer wanted a wider selection at a single convenient location and expected an international shopping experience.

The Indian consumer was willing to experiment with new designs.

STRATEGIES FOR WOOING CUSTOMERS

TANISHQ Tanishq worked hard on a two-pronged brand-building strategy:

▪ cultivate trust by educating customers about the unethical practices in the business and

▪ change the perception of jewellery as a high-priced purchase

One way to create differentiation was through design

Tanishq decided to focus on quality control:

it introduced caratmeters which showed the purity of gold

In November 2002, Tanishq introduced a new collection of jewellery called 'Lightweights.

It also focused on small town markets.

CONCLUSIONS

Branded jewellery players will continue to face lot of competition from local jewellers.

Besides the major brands several regional players have opened branches to leverage the trust and reputation that they have built up over the years

Most of the branded jewellery players in India focused on yellow gold

Few of them experimented with the pink and white forms of gold.

Some of the players also used diamonds and platinum, which appear to have a good future in the Indian jewellery market.
