Candere Founder Rupesh Jain Launches Lab-Grown Diamond jewelry Brand Lucira; Taps into Booming Industry Potential
The company plans aggressive two-year roadmap for phased omnichannel expansion
Rupesh Jain, the digital jewelry pioneer who built Candere into one of India’s most successful online fine jewelry platforms before its acquisition by Kalyan Jewellers, is returning to the spotlight with a bold new venture, Lucira. A modern lab-grown diamond jewelry brand, Lucira is built for today’s conscious, design-forward consumer and aims to transform the way people engage with fine jewelry.
Positioning itself as the unrivalled “Rings King,” Lucira focuses exclusively on celebrating proposals, weddings, anniversaries, and personal achievements with intentional design and ethical brilliance. Lucira is born out of a simple but powerful idea: that luxury can be meaningful, personal, and responsible. Inspired by the Latin word Lucent, meaning “to shine,” the brand represents purity, brilliance, and a commitment to illuminating life’s most cherished moments with jewelry that reflects values as much as beauty. Merging heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation, Lucira combines AI-led personalization, certified lab-grown diamonds, and a seamless digital-first experience to build trust and intimacy in an industry that has traditionally relied on opaqueness and excess.
The launch of Lucira comes at a time when lab-grown diamonds are reshaping the fine jewelry landscape, both in India and globally. These diamonds are physically, visually, and chemically identical to mined diamonds, offering the same brilliance and longevity—but at a significantly lower financial cost. Certified by IGI, GIA, SGL, and Hallmark, Lucira diamonds offer complete transparency and assurance of quality. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans who blend traditional techniques with contemporary elegance, creating jewelry that celebrates individuality and connection.
Currently available online with nationwide delivery, Lucira will soon debut its flagship experience stores in key metros, followed by an ambitious retail expansion across India and global markets. With a phased omnichannel growth strategy, the brand is poised to become India’s first global lab-grown diamond luxury house.

Rupesh Jain, Founder of Lucira said, “Our vision is to create a premium, design-led fine jewelry destination that begins online and extends into beautifully curated physical spaces. With AI-powered customization, virtual try-ons, and seamless e-commerce, we’re meeting customers where they are digitally native, value-conscious, and experience-driven. Our upcoming flagship stores will bring this vision to life, blending the ease of technology with the emotion of touch. As we expand across India and into global markets, our goal is simple: to make Lucira synonymous with modern luxury that’s personal, purposeful, and proudly Indian.”
Lucira is carving a niche in the fast-evolving bridal jewelry space, with a sharp focus on solitaires, bespoke engagement rings, eternity bands, and convertible pieces for everyday wear. The brand has introduced five exclusive signature cuts, each designed to maximize light, emotion, and brilliance. These aren’t just rings, they’re declarations of love, symbols of milestones, and heirlooms reimagined for a new generation.
Jain added, “Lucira is about elevating meaningful moments with timeless design and ethical brilliance. We’re not just shaping rings, we’re shaping what they represent in today’s world.
For Rupesh Jain, Lucira is more than a comeback, it’s a vision for the future of fine jewelry. One where innovation, ethics, and emotional resonance converge. India’s robust diamond manufacturing ecosystem and supportive government policies provide an ideal backdrop for Lucira’s ambitions. Jain believes India is uniquely positioned to become a major supplier and brand builder in the global LGD market, which has already seen strong demand in international markets as well.

Senco Celebrates The Moments That Make Every Day Special With Its New ‘Halke Phulke Moments’ Campaign
Inspired By Senco Gold & Diamonds’ Lightweight Jewellery Collections, The Campaign Celebrates Jewellery That’s Effortless To Wear and Meaningful Enough For Every Day.
Life can get heavy. Deadlines pile up, calendars stay full and routines rarely slow down. But in the middle of it all are the halke phulke moments that make every day brighter—a coffee break that turns into a long conversation, ticking off a long to-do list, receiving an unexpected compliment, a spontaneous dinner plan, dressing up simply because it feels good, or celebrating a birthday, promotion, anniversary or personal milestone. Big or small, planned or spontaneous, these are the moments that make life meaningful.
Inspired by this thought, Senco Gold & Diamonds introduces ‘Halke Phulke Moments’, a campaign that celebrates making space for everyday joy through its lightweight jewellery collections. This includes the brand’s signature lightweight range, alongside thoughtfully crafted jewellery in 9KT, 14KT and 18KT gold. The campaign encourages people to embrace jewellery as part of everyday living—not something you save for special occasions, but something you wear while creating them.



Designed for contemporary lifestyles, the collections combine effortless wearability, refined craftsmanship, and modern design. Featuring versatile chains, pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, mangalsutras, and other everyday essentials, each piece is created to transition seamlessly from workdays to weekends, coffee catchups to celebrations, adding just the right touch of sparkle without ever feeling occasion-bound.


Because when life gets heavy, it’s the halke phulke moments that deserve to shine. Whether it’s dressing up simply because it lifts your mood, celebrating a personal achievement, reconnecting with loved ones, or embracing the little moments that make every day memorable, lightweight jewellery becomes more than an accessory—it becomes part of your story, making the everyday feel just a little more special.
Speaking about the campaign, Joita Sen, Director and Head of Marketing & Design, Senco Gold & Diamonds, said:
“Life doesn’t slow down, but it gives us countless reasons to smile every single day. ‘Halke Phulke Moments’ is about embracing those little pockets of joy that make life feel lighter and celebrating the everyday. Through our lightweight jewellery collections across 9KT, 14KT and 18KT gold, we’ve created pieces that become a natural part of your daily life, from morning meetings and coffee catch-ups to celebrations with loved ones.

Whether it’s your favourite pair of earrings, a pendant that holds a special memory, a bracelet you wear every day or a ring you never take off, these pieces are designed to move effortlessly with you. They are versatile, easy to wear, and a reminder that while jewellery can feel beautifully light, the memories and emotions it becomes part of are truly priceless.”
As consumers increasingly embrace jewellery as an extension of personal style rather than something reserved only for festive occasions, lightweight designs have become an essential part of the modern wardrobe. Versatility, comfort, and timeless design now sit alongside craftsmanship, allowing jewellery to transition effortlessly from everyday routines to life’s celebrations.
With ‘Halke Phulke Moments’, Senco celebrates the conversations, routines, milestones, and spontaneous joys that quietly make life beautiful. Because life’s most memorable moments aren’t always the loudest—they’re often the ones woven into our everyday. And those moments deserve to be celebrated every single day.
The lightweight collections, with select designs across 9KT, 14KT, and lightweight 18KT gold, are available in an extensive range of chains, pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, mangalsutras, and more across Senco Gold & Diamonds showrooms, app, and website.
