Bangalore, 15th January, 2025: Limelight Diamonds, India’s largest lab grown diamond brand expands its retail presence in the sparkling year of 2025 with its first store in Bangalore, 25th across India. The new store further strengthens the Brand’s position in the prominent Bangalore market and was graced by the vibrant presence of the Brand’s management team, including Mr. Nirav Bhatt and Mr. Karam Chawla along with regional partner, Mr. Arihant Tater.
Nestled in the affluent locality of Jayanagar, the store is lavishly spread across an area of 1900+ sq. ft., signifying the Brand’s strategic expansion into the city’s prominent jewellery market. Successfully accomplishing the 25-store mark across India, the Brand has seen rapid growth in the last two years and has the widest reach in the country for LGD jewellery with a presence across 35+ cities including Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Hyderabad, Rajkot, Bangalore, Chennai etc. Limelight Diamonds has rapidly established itself as the ultimate solitaire destination that boasts an exquisite collection of solitaire necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings that perfectly blend new-age technology and traditional fine jewellery.
The store’s retail design seamlessly reflects the brand’s ethos of elegance, modernity, sustainability, and luxury. Inside, the brand illustrates a clean and minimalistic decor that radiates the beauty of their lab grown diamond jewellery. Shoppers will enjoy an immersive experience, with a never-seen-before range of solitaire designs that are not only beautiful & elegant but also wearable. Additionally, the Brand’s customer services include design customisation, lifetime buyback, and a 100% exchange guarantee along with value-protected complementary jewellery insurance and more, which further instils trust and confidence in the consumers visiting the store.
Expressing her excitement, Pooja Sheth Madhavan, Founder & MD of Limelight Diamonds says, “Having received such fantastic customer response for our brand, it brings me great joy and pride to open up our first store in Bangalore. Known as India’s Silicon Valley, Bangalore provides the perfect backdrop that complements Limelight’s vision of combining tradition with modern luxury as we establish our presence here. This city absolutely loves bling but consumers have also appreciated the premium quality, make and designs of our jewellery. The cherry on the top is the affordable price points, of course!”
Speaking of the growth in LGD industry she further adds, “The LGD industry in India is seeing a 15-20% year on year growth owing to rising acceptance of the product amongst consumers. Awareness of the LGDs has significantly increased & almost every customer walking into our store is aware that lab diamonds are absolutely real as they are also made of carbon & identical to mined diamonds. Given that they are the same but LGDs are more affordable as they save up on the heavy mining costs that are incurred in natural ones, consumers are considering upgrading their jewellery experience with lab grown diamonds. Maintaining the same budgets, LGDs serve as the perfect upgrade for all the people who would love to move from small diamond studded jewellery to solitaires as well as who choose to spend their money wisely. Over and above, buyback and exchange opportunities by brands like Limelight ensure that the value of the branded product is locked and protected to enjoy their bling and at the same time, be conscious of their choice.”
Regional partner of Limelight, Mr. Arihant Tater of Solitaire House, expressed, “We are extremely thrilled about our very first association with Limelight Diamonds. We have witnessed the exponential demand for lab grown diamonds in the market and understand the high potential for this category. We cannot wait to present the best of lab grown diamond designs to all our customers in Bangalore.”
The growing awareness and acceptance of lab grown diamonds is undoubtedly disrupting the traditional gem and jewellery industry. With the recent entry of the Tata Group into the lab grown diamond space, consumer confidence in these sustainable and ethical alternatives has received a significant boost.
Furthermore, lab grown diamond jewellery brands are now offering attractive buyback and exchange schemes, reinforcing trust and driving consumer adoption. Today, lab grown diamonds account for an estimated 20% of the global gem and jewellery market, and India is experiencing an impressive 15% annual growth in this sector.
The strength of the Brand is not only validated in the store presence across the country but also reflected in the consumer pick-up and response in sales. The branded sales have tripled year on year resulting in a boost in the Company’s confidence to directly engage with customers and expand its retail presence. With the growing market presence, the Brand continues to strengthen its customer base, offering them an exquisite range of never-seen-before solitaire diamond jewellery.
