The global jewellery landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, with a growing emphasis on accessible luxury and prêt jewellery. According to a recent report by market research firm Statista, the global jewellery market is projected to reach a remarkable US$0.37 trillion in revenue by 2025, with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.02% from 2025 to 2029. Notably, 76% of the market share in 2025 is expected to come from non-luxury jewellery, reflecting the increasing demand for more accessible, everyday designs.

This trend underscores a significant change in consumer behaviour, where elegance and craftsmanship are no longer exclusive to high jewellery. The Statista report highlights China as the leading revenue generator, projected to reach US$120.4 billion in 2025, while the global average revenue contribution per person is estimated at US$47.97. This rise in accessible jewellery signals a broader movement towards versatile, design-forward pieces that cater to evolving lifestyle choices.

Upcoming Prêt by Couture India 

In line with this market evolution, the upcoming Prêt by Couture India event, scheduled for February 26, 27, and 28, 2025, at The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, New Delhi, promises to be a landmark moment for the industry. Designed as a premier platform for prêt and accessible jewellery, the event will bring together some of the most innovative brands redefining modern jewellery aesthetics. From everyday statement pieces to artistic, wearable designs, Prêt by Couture India will spotlight a curated selection of designers who blend creativity with attainability.

The rise of prêt jewellery reflects a growing desire for designs that balance sophistication with wearability. Leading jewellery maisons, including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Bulgari, have already demonstrated the power of expanding their collections to include more versatile offerings without compromising on craftsmanship. As Statista's report indicates, this sector's continued growth aligns with evolving consumer preferences for jewellery that is both elegant and accessible.
