Jewellery Brands Target Affordable Gold Amid Festive Season Spending Shifts
As the 2026 festive season approaches, jewellery brands like Mia and Giva are focusing on affordable, lightweight gold designs to attract young and first-time buyers amid expected declines in overall consumer spending. Analysts note a shift towards lighter jewellery and lifestyle-oriented purchases, with bridal jewellery remaining a significant segment. Large jewellery chains are cautiously managing gold procurement, aligning inventory with demand amid elevated gold prices, while smaller retailers show more active buying ahead of Dhanteras, Diwali, and the wedding season.
