Diamond World|March - April 2023
The Natural Diamond Council (NDC) has released the third edition of its Jewellery Trend Report that highlights the upcoming natural diamond trends for the season, with a focus on how these trends bring a new opportunity to start conversations and create consumer desire for these billion-year-old wonders of nature.
NDC Jewellery Trend Report - MAXIMALISM IS THE FLAVOUR OF THE SEASON, FOR NATURAL DIAMONDS TOO

The report has been compiled with inputs by ‘The Style Collective’, experts from the fields of journalism, fashion and design, comprising Rhea Kapoor, HH Maharani Radhikaraje Gaekwad of Baroda, Bibhu Mohapatra, Roohi Oomerbhoy Jaikishan, Katerina Perez, Sarah Royce-Greensill and Nonita Kalra.

The Natural Diamond Council's latest trend report reflects changing consumer behaviour and is an important conversation starter for the retailer. Featuring 48 brands from India and UAE, the 2023 Trend Report revolves around the theme of maximalism, which inspires consumers to embrace the unabashed expression of themselves through their jewellery. The report identifies three main trends to embody the philosophy of abundant styles and being unafraid to be seen this year, while staying rooted in sustainable slow fashion.

The first trend is XXL Earrings & Chokers, featuring large and extravagant jewels glittering with natural diamonds. This trend motivates consumers to make adventurous choices and express their individuality through statement jewellery for maximal impact.

The second trend, Diamonds with Gemstones, promotes the idea of embracing the playful side of natural diamonds by complementing them with colourful gemstones, adding a touch of colour to one’s personal aesthetic. This trend is expected to be popular with consumers who are spiritedly glamourous and have a youthful approach to jewellery.
