In addition to its domestic expansion, Senco Gold and Diamonds has ventured into the international market by opening a store in Dubai. This move aims to reach not only the Indian and subcontinental diaspora but also to introduce Kolkata handcrafted jewellery to a broader audience appreciating Indian handmade jewellery.
Senco Gold and Diamonds has witnessed a significant increase in contributions from its old gold exchange scheme. Currently, 60-70% of the gold received under this program comes from non-Senco customers. Over the past two years, the contribution from this scheme has risen to 25-30% of total sales, up from the previous 20-22%.
Sen noted that natural diamond prices have been under pressure in recent months. Despite this, he believes the natural diamond market and lab-grown diamonds (LGD) market will coexist. Currently, diamond jewellery constitutes about 15-20% of the overall jewellery sector.
With rising gold prices and increasing demand from the younger generation, Senco Gold and Diamonds is focusing on 14-carat and 18-carat jewellery, anticipating a positive growth trajectory for these segments. Sen highlighted that these types of jewellery, especially those incorporating stones and diamonds, are expected to grow more than plain gold jewellery.
