Akoirah by Augmont Taps into Festive Shift as Lab-Grown Diamonds Gain Popularity
Changing buyer preferences and gold price trends spark growing demand for sustainable, design-led jewellery this Akshaya Tritiya.
Festive jewellery shopping is evolving, and Akoirah by Augmont is at the forefront of this shift. Based in Pune, the lab-grown diamond brand is seeing increased interest this Akshaya Tritiya, particularly among younger buyers who are moving away from conventional gold in favour of affordable, stylish, and sustainable choices.

Namita Kothari, Founder of Akoirah, highlighted this changing trend: “While gold remains a staple for traditional buyers, lab-grown diamond jewellery is gaining strong traction — especially among those seeking modern, meaningful designs.” The rise in gold prices has also influenced purchasing behaviour, with many consumers choosing to diversify their budgets between smaller gold purchases and diamond jewellery that offers better design and value.
Responding to this shift, Akoirah has launched a festive offer, giving customers a chance to purchase up to 10 grams of gold at the lowest price of the month with every jewellery buy. This move aims to support customers amidst price fluctuations, while allowing them to celebrate the auspicious occasion in a meaningful way.
Known for blending sleek aesthetics with ethical practices, Akoirah’s offerings resonate with a new generation of conscious buyers. As Akshaya Tritiya continues to be a key moment for jewellery purchases, the brand is redefining how customers engage with tradition — through pieces that honour values and style alike.

De Beers Group Rewrites the Diamond Story with ‘Intention Pendants’ for the Woman Who Chooses Herself
Where natural diamonds become expressions of intent for women shaping their own path
De Beers Group taps into the modern ritual of intention-setting with the launch of ‘The Intention Pendant’ collection, where natural diamonds become intimate expressions of purpose and personal power. Designed for the woman who marks her milestones quietly yet deliberately, the high-glamour collection reflects a new language of self-gifting rooted in meaning, emotion, and self-belief. The launch speaks to a wider cultural shift, one where success is defined internally and luxury becomes a deeply personal signature.
For Gen Z and millennials, practices like manifestation, vision boarding, and ‘scripting dreams’ are no longer trends; they are core lifestyle rituals. Intention-setting has become a daily act of self-empowerment. De Beers Group captures this sentiment through a personal campaign narrative that features a young woman crafting a vision board and reconnecting with her inner clarity, with the pendant serving as her constant companion through quiet moments and self-discovery.

“Women today are choosing to celebrate themselves through everyday intentions. The Intention Pendants draw from the extraordinary legacy of natural diamonds while honouring this cultural shift,” said Toranj Mehta, Vice President of Marketing, De Beers Group India. “Rooted in the extraordinary legacy of natural diamonds, this collection reflects a shift toward jewellery as a personal marker of growth. Each piece serves as a quiet reminder a woman wears for herself, honouring her inner resolve and the promises she makes to her future.”
The launch is supported by a comprehensive 360° campaign designed to inspire and engage across print, television, radio, cinema, outdoor, digital, and social media outreach. Leading Bollywood and sports icons including Tamannaah Bhatia, Athiya Shetty and Sania Mirza have created and shared their personal vision boards while wearing the pendants, amplifying authenticity and aspiration.
Each Intention Pendant features a natural diamond, formed over billions of years and shaped patiently by nature, carrying a sense of timeless continuity into the present. Refined through the forces of time, it stands as a lasting symbol of resilience and brilliance. Inspired by celestial forms and personal energy, the design brings this journey from nature’s heart to hers into a modern, wearable expression. Worn close to the heart, the pendant becomes a personal touchstone, subtly manifesting her best life while reflecting her intentions, inner strength, and the journey she continues to shape.
The Intention Pendant collection builds on De Beers’ global focus on self-gifting as an evolving expression of self-love. Across markets, natural diamonds are increasingly chosen to mark independent decisions, personal milestones, and moments of inner transformation, signalling a move beyond traditional gifting toward jewellery that reflects individuality and purpose.
Launching ahead of the year-end period of reflection, the collection aligns naturally with a season devoted to renewal, clarity, and intention. The Intention Pendant emerges not as a statement piece, but as a personal symbol, one that accompanies a woman quietly as she defines success on her own terms.
‘The Intention Pendant Collection’, serves as a reminder of one’s potential through the timeless beauty of a natural diamond and personal expression. De Beers invites you to connect with cosmic energy, flowing from nature’s core to your own.
