CaratLane – A TATA Product, India’s leading omnichannel jewellery retailer, simultaneously marked the debut of two exquisite collections—Sol & Luna—inspired by nature’s celestial wonders in their truest and most brilliant form. The collection launches, perfectly timed for the auspicious occasions of all the regional New Years and Akshaya Tritiya, beautifully capture the significance of new beginnings with their intricate designs.

Saumen Bhaumik, CEO & MD – CaratLane, remarked, “At CaratLane, we’re committed to making stunning jewellery. This festive season, we’re bringing 2 distinct collections – Sol and Luna, deeply symbolic of blending celestial grandeur embraced with prosperity and auspiciousness. Sol, the dawn of your brilliance is a tribute to new beginnings and endless possibilities. Inspired by the moon’s ever-changing beauty, Luna is a tribute to every phase of you. These collections perfectly reflect our vision of high-jewellery craftsmanship and everyday elegance, designed to be effortlessly wearable at accessible price points.”

Sol—crafted in 18KT yellow gold, SIFG diamonds & special-cut yellow gemstones—is inspired by the golden hues of sunrise and its reflection on the horizon. The designs embody the dawn of brilliance, marking an auspicious start to every journey, symbolising fresh opportunities captured through the brilliance of diamonds.

Luna, on the other hand, is inspired by the ever-changing phases of the moon, metaphorically representing the different sides and transformative journey of its wearer. Crafted in 18KT gold, the intricate diamond-studded designs capture the moon’s serene yet powerful aura, symbolizing elegance, resilience, and transformation. Luna is a timeless addition to any jewellery collection, embodying the essence of life’s cyclical changes.

To mark the launch of Sol & Luna, CaratLane is making a strong impact with a high-visibility campaign, ensuring these collections reach a wide audience. As an associate sponsor of the IPL, exclusively with Star Sports HD and JioHotstar, the brand is making a bold statement by showcasing its designs to millions of viewers. This is further amplified by strategic OOH ads in key markets and newspaper ads across The Times of India publication, ensuring maximum visibility and impact.

The collections are a masterful blend of celestial beauty and new beginnings, brought to life with exceptional craftsmanship in gold and diamonds – starting from ₹20,000. Currently, the brand is running a limited time festive offer, in which customers get 0.5g gold coin on every ₹30,000 worth of purchase. 

The sparkling city of Hyderabad was abuzz as Sitara Ghattamaneni, brand ambassador of PMJ Jewels and daughter of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, unveiled the jewelry brand’s 40th and largest store at Punjagutta. The new flagship, stretching across an expansive 30,000 square feet, is not only the biggest store in PMJ Jewels’ 60-year history but also an epitome of the brand’s tradition, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.

The launch event was a dazzling affair with Sitara shining brightly—not just for her elegant presence, but also for her charming and witty interactions with the press. As part of the occasion, she introduced her newly launched Sitara Exclusive Half Saree Jewelry Collection, a stunning fusion of traditional South Indian designs and modern flair, capturing the essence of her lively and vibrant personality.

In her signature style, Sitara entertained reporters when asked about her father Mahesh Babu’s much-anticipated film, SSMB29, joking, “Silence is the best part!” before laughing off the teasing, leaving the audience in stitches and showcasing the lighthearted charisma that she shares with her father.

This new PMJ Jewels store promises an exceptional shopping experience, featuring everything from traditional gold and diamonds to cutting-edge designs for contemporary tastes. The Sitara Exclusive Half Saree Jewelry Collection, a highlight of the launch, reflected the craftsmanship and attention to detail PMJ Jewels is known for. The store also offers luxurious amenities, convenient parking, and the brand’s trademark warm hospitality, ensuring an unforgettable experience for every customer.

In her speech, Sitara expressed her excitement about being part of PMJ Jewels’ growth: “It’s an honor to be part of this journey. This store is a beautiful mix of tradition and innovation, and I’m truly proud to launch the Half Saree Collection—it’s something that’s very close to my heart!”

With the opening of its 40th store, PMJ Jewels reinforces its status as a beloved household name in South India. And with Sitara Ghattamaneni leading the way, the brand’s future is sparkling brighter than ever. As she waved to the crowd, playfully evading more questions with a wink, it was clear that Sitara is not only a rising star but also a force to be reckoned with.

  Jewellery & Gem ASIA Hong Kong (JGA) is gearing up to welcome thousands of trade buyers from around the world this June, offering abundant mid-year opportunities for product discovery, sourcing and partnerships, show organiser Informa Markets Jewellery announced today.   JGA is taking place from 19 to 22 June at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Buyers may skip the long queues onsite by pre-registering online between now and 11 June.

With 1,300+ exhibitors representing 30+ countries and regions, the B2B jewellery and gemstone buying event is uniquely positioned as Asia’s premier summer meeting place for major product debuts and bold ideas, said Celine Lau, Director of Jewellery Fairs at Informa Markets Jewellery.  

“The June show offers exceptional buying opportunities for wholesalers and retailers looking to fulfil urgent orders or stock up for the second half of the year – be it loose diamonds, coloured gemstones and pearls, finished jewellery, packaging, equipment & tools and industry-related technologies,” Lau shared. “More importantly, due to its strategic timing, JGA is the perfect venue for suppliers to inspire and energise the industry with their latest collections in between seasons. The show does not only keep buyers attuned to market trends but also prepares them for the world’s largest B2B fine jewellery sourcing destination in September – Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong (JGW).”

 JGA will introduce three standout attractions: The groundbreaking Orient Odyssey 2.0 pearl exhibit (Stand 3M260), a dedicated Gold Jewellery Pavilion and the announcement of the Finalists for the Sustainability Awards 2025 by JWA (Jewellery World Awards).
 
Launched at JGW last September, Orient Odyssey 2.0 is a new iteration of the curated space celebrating the “Queen of Gems.” Exclusive to the iconic Hong Kong fair, OO 2.0 will present a wider variety of pearl exhibits and interactive elements, offering buyers the opportunity to journey into the world of pearls without ever leaving the show floor. Initiated by Informa’s Jewellery & Gem Knowledge Community, the featured showcase is supported by the biggest names in the pearl industry, led by Platinum Sponsors Autore, Jewelmer, Paspaley Pearling Company and Rio Pearl.
 
Another highlight is the Gold Jewellery Pavilion. This zone is a hotspot for cutting-edge trends and advancements in gold jewellery production and design, illustrating the endless possibilities achievable with this precious medium.
 
On the green front, Informa’s Sustainability Awards 2025 by JWA will reveal the finalists at the JGA Media Gathering set for 19 June. The winners will be officially announced in July and honoured at an Awards Presentation Ceremony during the JGW Fair Reception on 17 September at the HKCEC.
