Rakshabandhan is more than just rituals, it is a celebration of love, faith and eternal family relationship.

 Goddess Lakshmi had a rakhi tied to King Bali, releasing Lord Vishnu, while Draupadi protecting Draupadi and getting his perpetual promise to protect her dignity, history is filled with stories where Rakhi became a symbol of divine power and mutual respect. Even queens like Rani Karanuvati used its power, sending rakhi to Emperor Humayun -Emperor Humayun. These stories remind us that Rakshabandhan is not just about blood relatives, it is about chains that go beyond it.

 When Rakshabandhan 2025 comes, look at our exclusive collection and celebrate this beloved festival with style, emotions and radiance. Let your gift express the language of love that lasts forever.

At Jos Alukkas, we think such eternal love should have an eternal gift for Rakshabandhan. From stylish gold to shining diamonds, every jewelry piece speaks a story, like your relationship.

Threads of Tradition; Modern Love in a Classic Festival.

Rakshabandhan is a classic festival of love, protection, and the much appreciated sibling connection. Sisters of all ages typically attach a rakhi, a talisman or amulet, to their brothers’ wrists. This holy thread is a pledge of lifetime connection and mutual care, not only a metaphor. Warmly and lovingly marking the rite, sisters say prayers for their brothers’ welfare, use a protective tilak on their foreheads, and feed them candies or dry fruits.

Rakshabandhan

The celebration has distinct forms depending on where you are. Daughters in Karnataka and other Telugu-speaking states often tie rakhi to their fathers to show respect and thanks. Particularly in academic circles studying the Yajur Veda, this day is regarded as auspicious to start fresh learning. Across areas, names like Rakhi, Saluno, Silono, and Rakri represent the cultural variety that enhances this festival. The methods by which Raksha Bandhan is observed have changed along with the times. Although the emotional core stays, contemporary declarations of love typically take the shape of significant presents. A lovely Raksha Bandhan present for sister or a wise Raksha Bandhan gift for brother will become a treasured recollection in itself.

Gold has become more than merely a symbol of worth in recent years; it also represents feeling. Gifting gold jewellery, be it a classy bracelet for a brother or a delicate pendant for a sister, has grown into a modern declaration of classic affection. It is a beautiful combination of elegance and custom.

Let your Rakshabandhan present have significance, beauty, and the sparkle of enduring love whether you are accepting the traditions of the past or giving it your own modern spin. 

Celebrate Sibling Love with Gold Jewellery This Rakshabandhan.

Rakshabandhan is all about love. It is a festival for the soul, a deeply emotional and heartfelt celebration of the unspoken promise of love, protection, and lifelong support to each other, from the siblings. In the process of challenges over time, human relationships evolved and the ways of expressing such a bond have grown too. In a world where trends come and go, jewellery stands out as a Rakshabandhan gift that is not only beautiful, but truly timeless.

The very thing that makes jewelry so special is its enduring value. Unlike sweets or gift cards, a piece of jewelry becomes a treasured memory-something that your sibling can wear, keep close, and remember you by every time they look at it. Be it a simple gold bracelet for your brother or a glittering pendant for your sister, the act of giving jewellery keeps the memory alive of the moment when you decided to celebrate the intimacy of your relationship.

Gold is especially the material most favored in Indian traditions, so it can be said metaphorically by the historical facts that the history of gold in India is the history of India. It signifies innocence, wealth, and faithfulness, which are among the values that embody the Rakshabandhan spirit perfectly. Gifting gold today is more than the observance of a ritual; it is the perfect means for a person to express his/her feelings to another person in a very tasteful and elegant manner. This is your way of saying it: “Our relationship is important, therefore I have chosen something which will remain forever.”

A Rakshabandhan present for your brother, such as a smooth chain or a traditional ring, can make his style more personal. Your sister can also receive a pair of earrings, a charm bracelet, or any other piece of jewellery that is chosen with care and that will serve as her non-verbal message. Every piece of jewellery symbolizes one minute of the great story of shared laughter and hatred, of childhood adventures and of unconditional love.

This Rakshabandhan in 2025, just breaks the monotony of the usual gifts. Rather, decide for your brother or sister the one which not only shows your love but also reflects your shared memories and the promise of many more moments together. Choose the jewelry, as the gifts that are given to be worn always are the ones that shine the most.

Is July 2025 The Right Time For Investing In Gold Jewellery In India?
If you ask an economist, gold is a commodity. Ask a scientist, and it is an element with real applications in science and tech. For much of the world, gold is a precious metal but for many Indians, it is a symbol of prosperity and status. It is a cornerstone of tradition and a trusted article of timeless value. So, it comes as no surprise that many would seek an auspicious date and time to purchase gold. But if you are looking at gold jewellery as an investment, then the question is: Is now the right time to invest? The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no. The right time for investing in gold jewellery is not just about looking out for the lowest price point. You need to understand the difference between short-term price fluctuations and the long-term fundamental value of gold. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to making sense of the gold price today and taking decisions about when to invest in gold jewellery. Gold Price Trends in India – July 2025 Snapshot To figure out whether now is the right time for investing in gold jewellery, we need to understand the gold market fluctuations. As of July 3, 2025, gold prices in India are reflecting the market's inherent volatility. 22 karat (22K) gold is traded at approximately ₹9,105 per gram and 24 karat (24K) gold is priced around ₹9,933 per gram. We have reached the gold price today after a period of fluctuation. There was a really sharp rise in April, followed by a dip in May. In late June, there was a slight dip where prices for 24K gold fell to nearly ₹9,742 per gram. However, the gold market has seen a slight recovery in early July at the time of writing. This can be interpreted as the reaction to broader market dynamics such as easing geopolitical tensions and shifts in global investor demand. Key Factors Influencing Gold Prices in India (2025) As mentioned before, the price of gold jewellery is the result of a complex web of global and domestic forces. Let’s try to understand these factors in much more detail. The Global Stage: A World of Influences The fundamental price of gold is set on the international stage, influenced by a confluence of economic and political factors. Geopolitical Tensions: During times of political instability or economic uncertainty, investors turn to gold, to protect their wealth from the volatility of other assets. Gold is considered the ultimate safe-haven asset. The recent clashes in the Middle East between Israel and Iran and trade disputes involving the US and China, have consistently reinforced this safe-haven demand. The US Dollar's Role: Gold is priced in US dollars on the international market. And so, it shares an inverse relationship with the dollar's value. When the US dollar weakens against other currencies, it takes more dollars to buy a gram of gold and the prices go up. Inflation: Without getting too much into economics, when the purchasing power of fiat currencies (not backed by gold) erodes due to inflation, gold tends to hold or increase its worth. The Role of Central Banks: Nations like China, Russia, Turkey, and significantly, India, have been consistently increasing their gold reserves. This is a strategic move to reduce their dependence on the US dollar. This creates a steady stream of demand that supports the gold's price. The Indian Context: Domestic Drivers While the global price sets the benchmark, several domestic factors determine the final price an Indian consumer pays for gold jewellery. The Rupee-Dollar Exchange Rate: India imports the vast majority of its gold and the price is paid in US dollars. A weaker Rupee means more rupees are needed to buy the same amount of dollar-priced gold, while a stronger Rupee can help cushion the impact of rising international gold prices. Festive Period and Wedding Demand: This is arguably the most important domestic driver of gold price today in India. We had mentioned that people in India seek auspicious dates and times to purchase gold. This leads to massive surges in demand during specific times of the year. Festivals like Diwali, Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya are periods when gold purchases are considered auspicious. Government Policies and Taxes: The final retail price of gold jewellery is also affected by government policies. Import duties and Goods and Services Tax (GST) levied by the government directly add to the cost of gold which the consumer must pay. Gold's Historical Performance While the daily fluctuations of gold prices capture headlines, the true story of gold jewellery as investment is written over decades. The price of 10 grams of 24K gold in India has risen meteorically from a mere ₹63.25 in 1964 to ₹35,220 in 2019, and has now crossed the ₹1,00,000 mark in mid-2025. Over the last five years, gold has delivered returns of over 120% and the 20-year return stands at a staggering 1,400%. This historical data is proof to gold's role as a prized asset for long-term financial gains. Is Gold Jewellery a Good Investment in India? For the Indian consumer, gold jewellery is the most popular form of gold ownership. If you are looking for some gold buying tips, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of gold ornaments over other forms of gold will be quite useful. The Advantages of Gold Jewellery as an Investment Tangibility and Utility: Unlike stocks, bonds or digital assets like bitcoin, jewellery is a tangible asset. Meaning, you can hold it and wear it as an ornament. Emotional & Cultural Returns: In India, gold jewellery usually becomes a family heirloom. It is often passed down from one generation to the next. Liquidity in Crisis: Gold ornaments are a highly liquid asset in times of personal financial crisis. It is often used as collateral to secure loans. The Disadvantages of Gold Jewellery as an Investment Making Charges & Wastage: Making charges are the fees for the labour and craftsmanship required to create gold jewellery. These and wastage charges are typically not recovered on resale. Retail vs. Intrinsic Value Gap: The price paid for jewellery includes not just the making charges and wastage we just mentioned, but also the cost of gold, the jeweller's overhead, branding and profit margin. However, the resale value is primarily based on the net weight and purity of the gold. Purity and Liquidity: If you are a regular reader of our blog, you might already know that gold jewellery is typically crafted from 22K or 18K gold for durability, and not from 24K pure gold. While highly liquid in a crisis, selling jewellery instantly at the full market rate can be more difficult than selling standardized gold bars or coins. Best Ways to Invest in Gold in India Gold jewellery is just one of several ways to own the precious metal. Each of the other options caters to different needs, goals, and investor profiles. Here is an overview of all the important options available in India: Gold Coins/Bars Purity: Typically 24K (995 or 999) Initial Cost: Gold value + premium (5-10%) + 3% GST Liquidity: High; can be sold to jewellers Storage & Security: Requires secure personal storage Taxation: LTCG (Long Term Capital Gains) taxed at 20% with indexation Best For: Pure physical investment without design-related costs Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs) Purity: Not physical; value is linked to 24K gold Initial Cost: Issued at market rate; no GST Liquidity: Low; 5-year lock-in (early exit via exchange), 8-year maturity Storage & Security: Held in Demat form; no storage risk Taxation: Capital gains tax-free if held till maturity; else LTCG with indexation Additional Returns: 2.5% annual interest (semi-annual payout) Best For: Long-term investors seeking tax efficiency and interest income Gold ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) Purity: Backed by 24K gold (99.5%) Initial Cost: NAV + brokerage + expense ratio (0.5-1%) Liquidity: Very high; can be traded instantly on stock exchanges Storage & Security: Held in Demat account; no storage concerns Taxation: LTCG taxed at 20% with indexation Best For: Investors seeking high liquidity and low hassle Digital Gold Purity: Backed by 24K physical gold Initial Cost: Market rate + 2-3% spread + 3% GST Liquidity: Very high; can be bought/sold 24/7 on platforms Storage & Security: Stored in insured vaults by the provider; some limits or fees may apply Taxation: LTCG taxed at 20% with indexation Best For: Small-ticket investors valuing convenience and accessibility If you are looking to purchase Digital Gold but don’t know where to start, Jos Alukkas offers you a simple and secure solution through the Digi Gold initiative. A Glimpse into the Future: What Analysts Predict for Gold The predictions for gold by different analysts generally point towards a positive long-term outlook. J.P. Morgan Research forecasts that gold prices will continue to rise towards $4,000 per ounce by the second quarter of 2026. This will be driven by continued strong demand from central banks and investors seeking a hedge against geopolitical uncertainty. Other bullish forecasts see gold reaching new highs in the coming years, with some aggressive predictions suggesting peaks as high as $8,900 by 2030. This would translate to about more than ₹24,000 per one gram of gold. However, some analysts maintain a more cautious outlook. They are suggesting that gold prices could experience a downfall if global economic conditions stabilize more rapidly than expected, interest rates remain high or if central banks slow their pace of purchasing. Regardless, the "right time" for investing in gold jewellery is ultimately a personal decision. Above and beyond the global factors and daily price charts, it is more about your own life's milestones and financial readiness. When you are ready to make that decision it is crucial to partner with a jeweller who honors your investment with transparency and guaranteed purity. The true value of gold is timeless and you can make an everlasting investment with Jos Alukkas’ wide range of gold jewellery collection and Digital Gold services.

The Ultimate Guide to Daily Wear Gold Jewellery: Styling for Casual, Formal & Office Outfits
Usually kept locked in a box or safe, gold jewellery was reserved for weddings and very special occasions. Its glorious shine was something to be witnessed on occasion, not part of everyday life. But a silent revolution has been taking place in our jewellery boxes. Today’s woman has redefined gold from a symbol of rare moments into a vital part of her daily life. More than being an adornment, gold jewellery has become a tool for self-expression and personal style. And the goal is to seamlessly integrate accessories like gold chain, rings, bangles into your lifestyle with minimal effort. At Jos Alukkas, we understand and celebrate this evolution. This comprehensive guide will serve as your personal style manual, unveiling the secrets to effortlessly pair gold jewellery for every facet of your life. Styling Principles for Daily Wear Gold Jewellery Before you play a game of matching pairs with your jewellery collection and everything in your wardrobe, it is essential to understand the fundamental principles of styling. Of course, these are not hard-and-fast rules, rather tools to help you curate your own unique canvas of matching accessories. Remember, the goal is always to achieve a look that feels balanced and effortlessly chic – and these principles will come in handy. How to Layer Gold Jewellery: Necklaces & Bracelets Layering is perhaps the highest form of personalization in the world of jewellery. It allows you to take simple, delicate chains and combine them in a way that is uniquely your own. A well-executed layered look may appear effortless but it is built on a foundation of thoughtful composition. Here is a simple and effective formula to layering jewellery: Start with a Base: Begin your necklace stack with a delicate, shorter chain, such as a choker (around 14-16 inches). This piece will act as the anchor for the entire look. Add Varying Lengths: Introduce a second necklace, like a Princess-length chain (17-19 inches), followed by a third, preferably a Matinee-length piece (20-24 inches). The crucial element here is to ensure at least a two-inch separation between each layer. Mix Textures and Weights: The real beauty of layering comes from contrast. Combine a simple, sleek snake chain with a beaded necklace, or pair a chain with a meaningful pendant. Layering extends beyond necklaces. Try stacking a few thin daily wear gold bracelets to create a balanced look for your wrists.

To ensure they remain the center of attention, pair them with a very fine chain. Statement Necklace: A chunky gold choker or a necklace with a captivating pendant will easily grab attention.

Minimalist Gold Jewellery: Simple Yet Elegant Minimalism is another styling principle you should know when it comes to pairing gold jewellery with casual and formal wear.

The beauty of minimal gold jewellery lies in its ability to enhance your style without trying too hard. The focus is on the lustre and warmth of the gold itself – a simple bracelet, a fine chain that shimmers with every movement or a pair of sleek studs. These pieces are incredibly versatile, meaning they can fit a professional setting or that of an evening out. It is important to understand that these three foundational principles – Layering, Statement and Minimalism – are not mutually exclusive. They are flexible techniques for you to tinker with. The ultimate goal is to create a look where your gold jewellery perfectly complements your daily fashion and expresses your personal style. How to Style Gold Jewellery for Every Occasion Now that you are familiar with the foundational principles in styling gold jewellery to casual or formal wear, you can confidently apply them in your life.

Through all of this, your jewellery should be an extension of your comfort and personality. Outfit Pairings: The beauty of daily wear gold is its ability to elevate the simplest of outfits. A classic pairing is a delicate gold chain against a crisp white t-shirt and your favorite jeans. It is so effortlessly chic! Essential Pieces for Daily Wear: Daily wear gold rings should be compact enough not to hinder your daily tasks. For your wrists, opt for lightweight daily wear gold bangles. Classic gold stud earrings and delicate chains with small pendants are the perfect finishing touches. Comfort is Key: Look for lightweight designs that will not snag on clothing. Also, choose skin-friendly metals. 18K gold is ideal. Because it is unlikely to cause irritation, you can wear your favorite jewellery from morning to night without any issues. Office Wear Gold Jewellery: What to Wear to Work In a professional setting, the jewellery you wear has the power to communicate competence and attention to detail. The goal is to be polished and elegant, choosing pieces that enhance your professional image. The Golden Rule: Know Your Culture: Before deciding on your choice of daily wear office jewellery, make sure you understand your office environment. A conservative corporate office in finance will have different norms and unspoken rules than a creative agency. Dos and Don'ts: DO: Opt for timeless, classic designs. Small gold hoops, pearl or diamond studs, a single elegant pendant necklace and simple bangles are excellent choices. These pieces add elegance without being distracting. DON'T: Avoid anything that is flashy or noisy. A stack of jangly bangles can be highly distracting in a quiet office. The principle of less is more is important here. Essential Pieces for the Office: Gold bangles for office wear: A single, beautifully crafted bangle is the epitome of professional chic. It adds a touch of polish to your wrist without creating noise or distraction. Earrings: Small gold ear cuffs, hoops, clip ons or classic studs are the safest and most elegant choice. They frame the face and add a hint of lustre without drawing unwanted attention. Necklaces: A single, delicate gold chain with a simple solitaire or a minimalist pendant adds a touch of refined femininity to your workwear. Formal Styling: Gold Jewellery for Events & Celebrations Formal events, from garden parties to weddings and galas, are your opportunity to embrace a more glamorous and confident style. This is where you can be bolder and more expressive with your jewellery choices to make a memorable impression. Consider the Outfit: Your attire is the canvas for your jewellery. The neckline is a crucial consideration. For instance, a V-neck provides the perfect frame for a dramatic layered necklace look, while an off-the-shoulder gown is beautifully enhanced by a statement choker paired with longer chains. Making a Statement: Dramatic Earrings: Do not be afraid to choose chandelier, threader or drop earrings, especially if you are styling your hair in an updo. These earrings will draw attention to your face and add a sparkle to every turn of your head. Bold Necklaces: These are the occasions for an elaborate gold choker, a detailed traditional necklace, or a show-stopping layered look. A powerful necklace can completely transform a simple gown into a high-fashion ensemble. Intricate Bracelets: A sparkling stack of diamond-accented gold bangles can add a tonne of glamour to your evening wear, catching the light as you move. This nuanced approach considers the occasion and your role within it without ever being ostentatious about it. The following table provides a quick reference to help you make the perfect choice every time.

The best type of gold jewellery for daily use is undoubtedly those made with 18K gold. Higher karats like 22K or 24K can be prone to scratching or deforming on daily use whereas lower karats like 14K or 10K contain other metals that might cause skin irritations when worn for a long time. Also, ensure the pieces have secure clasps and smooth edges for all-day wearability. How can I layer gold necklaces without them tangling? To achieve a tangle-free layered look, use necklaces of different lengths, with at least two inches of separation between each one. Mixing different chain weights and textures will also help to keep them apart. What gold jewellery is appropriate to wear to the office? For a conservative or corporate office environment, try to wear subtle gold jewellery. The best choices include small gold or diamond stud earrings, a single fine gold chain tucked under a collar and one or two minimalistic gold rings. Avoid anything that is large, noisy or distracting. Can I wear my daily wear gold jewellery all the time, even in the shower? While high-quality gold is very durable and resistant to tarnish, it is best practice to remove your jewellery before showering, swimming or cleaning. Soaps and lotions can build up over time and dull the metal's lustre. Taking a moment to remove your pieces will preserve their shine and integrity for a long time.
