India’s jewellery preferences are evolving rapidly especially beyond metro cities. Today, Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets are driving a massive surge in demand for oxidised and antique-finish jewellery. These styles, rooted deeply in tradition yet adaptable to modern fashion, are becoming everyday essentials rather than occasional indulgences.
