Kalyan Jewellers shot up 14.7%, leading the surge. Motisons Jewellers, Vaibhav Global, Goldiam International, Sky Gold and Diamonds, Thangamayil Jewellery and P N Gadgil Jewellers climbed 9-16%, while Titan Company gained 3%. The benchmark Nifty 50 rose 0.7%, and the Nifty Midcap 150 and Smallcap 250 indices advanced 1.6% and 2.6%, respectively.
“Monday’s run-up is largely a combination of strong results by Kalyan Jewellers and P N Gadgil, as well as tariff reduction on jewellery exports as part of the India-US bilateral trade deal,” said Gaurang Kakkad, head of research at Centrum Broking.
A joint statement issued on Friday said the US would cut tariffs on gems and diamonds exported from India, lowering them from 50% to 18%.
Harsh Thakkar, research analyst at Samco Securities, said investors expect the momentum seen in the October-December to continue into the fourth quarter, aided by wedding-season demand – a view echoed in the recent commentary from Kalyan Jewellers’ management.
Kalyan posted an 60% jump in consolidated net profit for the third quarter from July-September, while P N Gadgil posted a 115.5% rise in October– December profit. “We have seen strong thirdquarter numbers from Sky Gold and P N Gadgil, and we expect strong results from other key players such as Titan Company and Senco Gold. Investors may consider accumulating shares of leading companies in the segment on dips,” Thakkar said.

Kakkad said the third quarter saw strong momentum across jewellery retailers, supported by gold price inflation and robust wedding-related buying. In the October- –December period, international gold prices rose nearly 12% as per data from investing- .com. So far in 2026, gold is up over 16% in a volatile trading period. Kakkad added that the structural story remains intact, with organised jewellers benefiting from market-share gains from the unorganised sector, continued store additions and entry into newer categories, including lab-grown diamonds and lightweight jewellery. His top pick in the sector is Titan.
“Despite gold price volatility, January has remained healthy in terms of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) like walk-ins, footfalls and consumer traction,” said Kakkad. “We expect that some correction in gold prices will provide an opportunity to consumers who were on the fence, and therefore demand momentum should remain strong in the fourth quarter as well.”
