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 Gold & Diamonds Launches Mother’s Day Campaign Honouring The Many Facets Of Motherhood

Inspired By The Evolving Journey Of Motherhood, The Campaign Reflects How This Bond Transforms Across Time – Taking On Different Meanings, Roles, and Expressions At Every Stage Of Life.

This Mother’s Day, Senco Gold & Diamonds presents a heartfelt campaign celebrating the many facets of motherhood, acknowledging the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of a mother’s role.

Much like a diamond derives its brilliance from its many facets, motherhood too is layered and evolving – shifting seamlessly from nurturer and protector to guide, companion, friend, and anchor. Each phase adds depth, creating a relationship that is as multifaceted as it is enduring.

It stems from the belief that motherhood is not defined by a single role or moment, but by an ever-evolving bond shaped over time. From being a source of comfort and strength in the earliest years to becoming a companion and constant in later stages, this relationship continues to grow while remaining deeply rooted in connection and understanding. The campaign talks about how Motherhood is not defined by a single emotion or moment. Strength, protection, guidance, companionship, and emotional grounding come together to form a bond that is both deeply personal and universally understood.

Speaking on the campaign, Joita Sen, Director & Head of Marketing and Design, Senco Gold & Diamonds, said, “This campaign reflects how we see motherhood – layered, evolving, and deeply personal. It moves beyond a single definition to acknowledge the many roles, emotions, and phases that shape this bond over time. Much like a diamond, these facets come together to create something enduring, felt as much in quiet moments as in words.”

These facets are brought alive through six individuals, including two influencers and four consumers, each offering personal reflections that capture the evolving nature of maternal relationships across generations.

The campaign went live on May 1, 2026, across digital platforms, inviting audiences to reflect on and celebrate their own unique relationships with their mothers.
