Divine Solitaires strengthens partnership with Anopchand Tilokchand Jewellers to accelerate solitaire growth in Raipur
Jignesh Mehta and Siddharth Baradiya align on future growth as Divine Solitaires scales its natural diamond footprint through local market leadership
Divine Solitaires is further strengthening its footprint in key regional markets through its focused partner-led expansion strategy. In Raipur, its growing association with Anopchand Tilokchand Jewellers (AT Jewellers) is playing a pivotal role in accelerating the solitaire category and driving stronger business outcomes in the region.
By combining Divine Solitaires’ globally benchmarked solitaire standards with AT Jewellers’ strong local market presence, the partnership is enabling both brands to build deeper consumer trust, enhance category visibility, and capture a larger share of the evolving solitaire demand in the city.
As consumer awareness and preference for solitaires continue to rise, jewellers aligned with structured, branded offerings are increasingly gaining a competitive edge in their respective markets. Divine Solitaires’ partner-driven model is designed to help jewellers capitalise on this shift—offering not just superior product standards but also a clear pathway to scale in a high-growth segment.

Jignesh Mehta, MD & Founder, Divine Solitaires, said:
“Our partnership with Anopchand Tilokchand Jewellers reflects how we are building the solitaire category market-by-market with strong regional players. In markets where we work closely with our partners, we are seeing stronger momentum in solitaire demand and improved category performance.
This model gives jewellers a clear edge—access to globally benchmarked diamonds along with the ability to differentiate and scale in a high-potential category. As we expand, our focus remains on building such strong, long-term partnerships across key markets.”
Jignesh Mehta recently visited the AT Jewellers store in Raipur, where he met with the leadership team led by Siddharth Baradiya to review market performance and align on future growth plans.
Siddharth Baradiya, Owner, Anopchand Tilokchand Jewellers, added:
“Our association with Divine Solitaires has significantly strengthened our solitaire offering and positioned us more competitively in the Raipur market. It has helped us build greater customer trust while driving consistent growth in this category.”

With a presence across 200+ stores in 100+ cities, Divine Solitaires continues to expand its partner network selectively across high-potential markets. Early partner jewellers are already benefiting from stronger category traction, and the brand remains focused on collaborating with leading retailers to drive the next phase of growth in the natural diamond solitaire segment.
