celebrities, and leading creators. Hosted within the flagship itself, the event offered guests a
first glimpse into the brand’s stunning universe, featuring a fashion showcase and immersive
experiences that seamlessly blended craftsmanship with contemporary style.

fashion showcase, complemented by interactive installations and AI integrations around the
Mine to Finger journey, branded photo moments, innovative tarot readings and displays of the new collection, creating an atmosphere of modern luxury and timeless elegance. Guests
explored the store’s full portfolio, from refined everyday diamond jewellery to statement and
high jewellery pieces, all designed to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.

Every Forevermark Diamond Jewellery piece is crafted from some of the world’s most
beautiful, rare, and responsibly sourced diamonds, each bearing a unique inscription, a
promise of authenticity, integrity, and exceptional quality. This philosophy comes to life with
the launch of the all-new Forevermark Icon Collection, inspired by the North Star as a symbol of clarity, direction, and confidence. It features versatile everyday diamond jewellery styles,striking statement pieces, and iconic designs across rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

This collection launch is also accompanied by the brand’s new campaign titled ‘My Guiding
Light’ that celebrates four iconic women who represent modern Indian excellence across
diverse fields. Manu Bhaker, professional shooter and double Olympic medallist; Diana
Penty, actor; Masaba Gupta, designer, actor, and entrepreneur; and Princess Gauravi
Kumari of Jaipur, social entrepreneur, each embody individuality, strength, and purpose,
sharing their personal stories and perspectives through mini digital videos on Instagram.
Together, they reflect the belief that confidence and direction come from within, perfectly
aligning with the spirit of the Icon Collection.
All four of them were also in attendance at the event, bringing glamour and gravitas to the
evening and reinforcing the store’s position as a landmark destination in Mumbai’s luxury
retail landscape. The evening was further elevated by the presence of Mumbai Indian
Cricketers Amelia Kerr, Milly Illingworth and Sajeevan Sajana, whose stories of resilience,
precision and perseverance echo the enduring strength of natural diamonds.

Commenting on the launch, Sandrine Conseiller, CEO, Brands & Diamond Desirability, De Beers Group, said: “India is central to the future of the natural diamond category. The opening of our largest Forevermark store in Mumbai reflects both the strength of consumer response we are seeing and our long-term confidence in the market. As luxury consumption
in India becomes more considered and value-driven, Forevermark is well positioned to build relevance through trust, craftsmanship, and enduring desirability.”
