Jewelbox Strengthens South India Footprint with Flagship Store in Bangalore
Jewelbox, a pioneer in lab-grown diamond jewellery, has expanded its presence in South India with the opening of its flagship store in Jayanagar, Bangalore.
This expansion follows the brand’s successful entry into Chennai and is a key part of its retail growth strategy, which has seen rapid expansion with stores in Delhi, Gurgaon, Chennai, Kolkata, and Guwahati over the last six months.
Bangalore, contributing 15% of Jewelbox’s total online orders, is now a pivotal market for the brand. The new store is poised to cater to the rising demand for sustainable luxury jewellery, drawing on the city’s eco-conscious and affluent consumer base, as well as its status as a hub for young professionals.
“We’ve always seen Bangalore as a key market for growth,” said Vidita Kochar Jain, Co-Founder of Jewelbox. “With the Jayanagar store, we’re offering a personalized in-store experience for customers who appreciate sustainability, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.”
The Jayanagar store will showcase a curated collection of lab-grown diamond jewellery, featuring personalized consultations, exclusive designs, and expert styling advice aimed at consumers aged 25 to 50.
With the lab-grown diamond market in India set to reach USD 797.92 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.8%, Jewelbox is positioning itself to capitalize on this growing demand for sustainable jewellery. The brand plans to open three to four additional stores in Bangalore by the end of 2025, further strengthening its presence in the region.
This store launch is part of Jewelbox’s comprehensive omni-channel strategy, combining the convenience of online shopping with the immersive, hands-on retail experience at its Jayanagar outlet.

GJC lauds GST 2.0, says it is landmark reform that ushers in a new era of trust, transparency, for GJÂ sector
It reflects the government’s commitment to ease of doing business and provides jewellers with the confidence to focus on growth, innovation, and customer service.
Rajesh Rokde, Chairman -GJC issued a statement on The 57th GST Council recommendation. Which included a series of measures to simplify tax administration, accelerate refunds and reduce compliance costs, with potential benefits for India’s gem and jewellery manufacturers, exporters, wholesalers and retailers.
The statement read:
GST 2.0 is a landmark reform that ushers in a new era of trust, transparency, and efficiency for the gems and jewellery sector. It reflects the government’s commitment to ease of doing business and provides jewellers with the confidence to focus on growth, innovation, and customer service.
These progressive steps will strengthen industry credibility, safeguard livelihoods, and contribute to sustainable development across India. The Council’s recommendations comprehensively address areas that jewellers have long sought reform in — from smoother movement of goods in transit and faster automated refunds that improve cash flow, to fairer notices that reduce litigation and ensure natural justice.
The rationalization of penalties, reduction of the general penalty cap, and recognition of employee insurance ITC reflect a balanced approach that values both compliance and care for our workforce. Most importantly, the withdrawal of arrest powers and the increase in prosecution thresholds will instill greater trust and confidence across the trade.
Together, these measures will reduce disruption, improve working capital, safeguard livelihoods, and create a more supportive business environment. GJC wholeheartedly welcomes GST 2.0 as a forward-looking framework that empowers jewellers, enhances industry credibility, and contributes to sustainable growth for one of India’s most vital sectors
