Moreover, a thorough knowledge of the difficulties these industries confront by analysing the available information and market trends. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a multifaceted impact on the production of gemstones worldwide. The gemstone industry, characterized by its reliance on global supply chains and intricate artisanal processes, faced disruptions at various stages. Mining operations were adversely affected as lockdowns and travel restrictions impeded access to mining sites, leading to decreased production. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the supply chain of the gemstones industry. The global nature of the supply chain, involving mining operations, cutters, dealers, and jewelers across different countries, made it susceptible to the widespread impact of the pandemic. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and social distancing measures disrupted mining activities, affecting the extraction of raw gemstones. The closure of cutting and polishing units, often concentrated in specific regions, led to a bottleneck in the processing stage. Gemstone dealers and wholesalers faced challenges in logistics, transportation, and international trade, causing delays and disruptions in the distribution of gemstones. The uncertainty and economic challenges brought about by the global health crisis led to fluctuations in consumer demand. While certain segments of the market, particularly online sales, experienced growth as consumers turned to digital platforms, overall consumer spending on luxury items, including gemstone jewelry, faced constraints. The decreased demand, coupled with disruptions in the supply chain, influenced pricing strategies across the industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced consumer buying behaviour in the gemstones market. The economic uncertainties and disruptions brought about by the global health crisis have prompted consumers to reassess their purchasing priorities. Traditional brick-and-mortar retail experiences were curtailed due to lockdowns and safety concerns, leading to a surge in online sales as consumers turned to e-commerce platforms for their gemstone purchases. With a focus on health, sustainability, and ethical considerations, consumers are increasingly seeking transparency in the supply chain and favouring gemstones with verifiable and responsible sourcing practices. The economic uncertainties and shifts in consumer behaviour brought about by the global health crisis have influenced the preferences and purchasing patterns of end-users. With lockdowns and restrictions affecting traditional retail, there has been a notable increase in online purchases of gemstone jewellery as consumers sought convenient and safe shopping options.

Segmentation

By Type

1. 
   

   Emerald: Emerald is usually one of the gem variants of the mineral beryl. These are extremely valuable stones that are used in jewelry. Emeralds have a deep green color due to the presence of chromium or occasionally vanadium elements in the mineral. Gems often receive their color from trace metals or impurities in the stone. Green beryl is the term used to describe gems with a lighter green color, sometimes even yellowish in tone.

   
   


2. 
   

   Pearl: Pearls are usually produced by marine oysters as a defense against external stimulants like parasites getting inside their shells or harming their delicate bodies. The aragonite and conchiolin layers that comprise the oyster or mussel's shell are secreted gradually. This produces mother-of-pearl, or nacre, a substance that encases the irritant and shields the mollusc from it.

   
   


3. 
   

   Sapphire: Sapphire is usually the gemstone form of the mineral corundum. They are usually produced for decoration, sapphires are mined. Based on a Mohs hardness rating of 9, these stones rank third in terms of hardness among gemstones, after moissanite and diamonds. Over millions of years, sapphires are produced beneath the surface of the planet. High pressure and heat are two of the factors that lead to them. These are the perfect circumstances for the metamorphic processes that give rise to sapphires.

   
   


4. 
   

   Ruby: Ruby gemstones are usually a type of corundum mineral. They are more precisely the red variety, which is chromium colored. The Latin word for red, "ruber," is where the term "ruby" originates. Though they might have hints of orange, pink, or purple, rubies are always red. Rubies are formed underground under intense heat and pressure, just like many other gemstones. Atoms of aluminum and oxygen compress to form corundum. This mineral gives rubies their characteristic color, combined with chromium.
