GSI Launches Satellite Laboratory in Indore
Will offer same-day certification for MPs Dynamic Jewellery Market
With transparency and trust at the heart of organised jewellery retail, accurate certification is vital to building lasting customer loyalty. Recognising the growing demand for faster, reliable certification services, Gemological Science International (GSI) has inaugurated a cutting-edge satellite laboratory in Indore on 24 January 2025. This new facility is designed to serve jewellers and consumers across Madhya Pradesh with same-day certification services for jewellery, diamonds, and gemstones.
Spread over 1,200 sq. ft., this satellite laboratory has been established to address the growing demand for prompt, same-day certification within the jewellery supply chain in Madhya Pradesh. While the majority of fine jewellery sourcing in Madhya Pradesh is conducted from Mumbai, Surat, and Jaipur, Madhya Pradesh has witnessed steady growth in jewellery manufacturing and trading in recent times. This has created a strong and growing demand for an internationally acclaimed laboratory like GSI to provide its expertise, services, and educational initiatives to support the flourishing jewellery industry in the state.
Introducing state-of-the-art technology for identifying gemstone treatment and polki jewellery certification, the GSI lab in Indore will offer premium services which were unavailable to jewellers in the state before. Some of these services include advanced screening equipment for testing diamonds, such as the ‘Trusure’ series by Mindron and GSI, which will empower every jeweller to buy and sell confidently.
Speaking about the objectives of this satellite lab, Ramit Kapur, Managing Director of GSI India, said, “The rise in customer demand for customised jewellery has spurred a shift toward local manufacturing in Madhya Pradesh, reducing reliance on sourcing from Mumbai, Surat, and Jaipur. With this shift comes the critical need for accurate certification and quality assurance. GSI’s Indore lab offers same-day gemological services with unmatched turnaround times, empowering jewellers to meet market demands efficiently while ensuring consumer trust. Our global expertise, combined with cutting-edge technology, streamlines the certification process, transforming how jewellery businesses operate in Madhya Pradesh.”
As part of its initiative to enhance awareness within Madhya Pradesh’s jewellery supply chain, GSI will also conduct specialised workshops on diamonds and gemstones to equip retail sales teams with advanced sales strategies. Additionally, GSI will host tailored sessions for end-consumers, enabling them to make well-informed choices and enjoy an exceptional jewellery shopping experience.

Candere by Kalyan Jewellers – Stack Jewellery for Men: A Guide to Layering and Expression
Candere by Kalyan Jewellers brings this idea to life with a men’s collection that’s all about versatility, detail, and modern elegance. Whether it’s a sleek chain that works at the office, a kada that makes a statement at night, or a mix of bracelets that show off character, these designs are meant to be stacked, styled, and worn your way. It’s jewellery that doesn’t just finish an outfit; it transforms it.
Stacking jewellery is fast becoming a rising trend in men’s fashion, redefining how accessories are worn and styled. No longer limited to a single chain or bracelet, today’s modern man embraces layering multiple pieces; from chains, kadas, and pendants to bracelets; that create depth, personality, and a signature look. This approach to styling reflects individuality, balancing subtle luxury with bold statements.
Here are five standout men’s jewellery designs that deserve a place in your collection:
The Geometric Charm Gold Pendant is clean, modern, and sharp — its structured shape adds a strong visual spark when layered on a fine chain. When you wear this pendant with something like the Ricky chain beneath, it becomes the kind of detail that draws attention without shouting.
The Siddh Diamond Bracelet brings confidence with its diamond-accented design. It’s bold enough to stand out, so pair it with two or three simpler metal or leather bracelets (or a sleek chain bracelet) to let its sparkle pop while keeping the overall stack balanced.
The Johan Platinum and Rose Gold Kada merges cool platinum tone with warm rose gold that mix is perfect for a stack because it lets you bridge metallic tones (silver/platinum + gold/rose gold) in a single piece. Use it as a mid-weight anchor alongside slimmer pieces for contrast.
The Ricky Platinum and Diamond Chain functions like your headliner piece when stacking around the neck. The combination of platinum and diamonds gives it luxurious weight. It pairs beautifully with simpler chains or pendants (like the Geometric Charm) to create layers that feel rich yet intentional.
The Golden Rules of Stacking
To master the art of layering, these 3 principles go a long way:
- Lead with a Statement – Begin your stack with one defining piece, whether it’s a bold bracelet or a standout chain, and let the rest build around it.
- Play with Textures – Mixing leather, beads, metals, and cords creates contrast and character, giving your look depth without feeling overdone.
- Keep Colours Cohesive – Neutral tones like black, brown, silver, or gray form a versatile base; introduce just one accent colour to keep the balance sharp and sophisticated.
These rules ensure your stack feels intentional, elevated, and distinctly your own; the perfect finishing touch for the modern man’s wardrobe.
