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

Published

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.

Tanishq Natural Diamonds and Rahul Mishra Join Forces To Unveil A First Of Its Kind Exclusive Couture Jewellery Collection At Paris Couture Week 2026

~ Marking A Landmark Global Launch, The Collaboration Brings Together Tanishq’s Natural Diamond Craftsmanship and Rahul Mishra’s Globally Celebrated Couture Artistry To Present A New Expression Of Contemporary Indian Luxury On One Of Fashion’s Most Prestigious Stages ~

Tanishq Natural Diamonds and internationally acclaimed couturier Rahul Mishra unveiled a first-of-its-kind exclusive couture jewellery collection at Paris Couture Week 2026, marking a landmark collaboration between India’s leading jewellery house and one of its most celebrated fashion designers. The collection brought together the worlds of haute couture and high jewellery in a singular expression of contemporary Indian luxury, translating couture narratives into exceptional jewellery artistry.

This was the result of months of creative collaboration, translating Rahul Mishra’s celebrated couture language into sculptural jewellery through the artistry and craftsmanship of Tanishq Natural Diamonds. Rather than creating jewellery to complement couture, the two creative houses conceived each piece as an extension of the garments themselves, where jewellery echoed the same architectural precision, movement and storytelling.

Drawing from the interplay between structure and nature, the collection transformed architectural forms into fluid florals through sculptural silhouettes, intricate detailing and exceptional gemstone artistry. Conceived as a series of one-of-a-kind couture jewellery creations, the collection reimagines Tanishq’s natural diamond craftsmanship along with Rahul Mishra’s celebrated design language, where every piece is an extension of couture itself.

At the heart of the collection are the Enchanted Canopy and the Imperial Cascade Neckwear, each embodying the collection’s philosophy of translating nature, architecture and movement into sculptural jewellery. Natural white and black diamonds were paired with citrine, emerald, amethyst, pink tourmaline, rubellite and garnet, while intricate pavé, snow pavé, channel and prong settings brought light, depth and movement to every creation.

Conceived as one-of-a-kind and limited-edition couture creations, each piece was crafted as a collectible work of art designed exclusively for the Paris Couture Week presentation and available thereafter only through curated showcases and private client experiences. The collection reflects the rarity, craftsmanship and bespoke character that define the highest expressions of luxury.

Debuting on one of fashion’s most prestigious global stages, it brought Tanishq’s decades-long expertise in natural diamond craftsmanship together with Rahul Mishra’s philosophy of storytelling through couture, presenting a contemporary vision of Indian luxury that is deeply rooted in heritage while resonating with a global luxury audience.

Commenting on the collaboration and design, Revathi Kant, Chief Design Officer, Titan Company Limited, added:

“Couture has always been about celebrating craftsmanship at its highest expression, and jewellery has the unique ability to carry stories, emotion, and extraordinary artistry. Presenting this collection at Paris Couture Week is a defining milestone, not just for this collaboration with Rahul Mishra, but for Indian design itself. It represents two Indian creative houses coming together to demonstrate that our craftsmanship, innovation, and design excellence can confidently shape the global couture jewellery conversation.

More than a collection, it is a celebration of creativity, heritage, and contemporary luxury, reflecting an evolved design language that honours tradition while pushing the boundaries of what Indian jewellery can represent on the world stage.”

Speaking about the collaboration, Rahul Mishra said:

“As a couturier, my intent has always been to celebrate the extraordinary possibilities of Indian craftsmanship. This collaboration extends that philosophy into jewellery, allowing the inspirations I usually express through embroidery to find a new expression through natural diamonds and precious materials. Together with Tanishq Natural Diamonds, we sought to create pieces that speak the language of contemporary high jewellery while remaining deeply rooted in India’s artistic heritage. Their exceptional expertise in jewellery making made it possible to translate the movement, texture and emotion of couture into creations that are intricate in detail, fluid in expression and rich in narrative.

The Metamorphosis Neckwear reflects the beauty of transformation and constant evolution, while the Floral Hexagon Neckwear explores the harmony between geometry and nature. More than individual creations, these pieces celebrate an idea that has always guided my work: that craft carries memory, and when reimagined with care, tradition continues to evolve in new and meaningful ways.

The collection reflects a new dialogue between couture and jewellery, where design, material and artistry converge to create pieces that exist beyond a single moment in fashion. Each creation captures the spirit of the runway while becoming an enduring expression of creative vision and timeless design.
