Ahmedabad sits at the centre of India's gold and silver craftsmanship cluster, and Surat (1 hour away) is the global diamond-cutting capital. Studying jewellery design at INSD Ahmedabad means direct access to working mills, dyeing units, polishing and cutting houses, and export units via factory visits and internships. The Indian jewellery market is the world's second-largest at $100 billion+ by 2027, with heritage brands (Tanishq, Kalyan, Reliance Jewels) and D2C jewellery startups actively hiring trained designers.
