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 Addresses HUID Data Exposure Issue With BIS, Corrective Measures Are Currently Being Initiated
BIS Care App That Exposed The Name and Addresses Of Jewellers While Verifying HUID Details .
The All India Gem and Jewellery Domestic Council (GJC) has successfully intervened following a technical anomaly on the BIS Care App that exposed the name and addresses of jewellers while verifying HUID details .
Over the past few days, the BIS Care App was found to be displaying the names and addresses of individual jewellers during routine Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) verifications. Recognizing the privacy implications for its members, GJC immediately escalated the matter to the highest appropriate levels within the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Upon receiving GJC’s representations, BIS officials acknowledged the discrepancy. The Bureau clarified that such operational details are strictly intended to be visible only for corporate jewellers who have voluntarily opted into the ‘Transfer HUID’ module under the current BIS framework. The data exposure was not intended for general registered jewellers.
GJC has been assured that BIS has escalated the issue internally. Corrective measures are currently being initiated on a priority basis, and the technical glitch is expected to be fully resolved at the earliest.
GJC remains fiercely committed to safeguarding the interests of the domestic jewellery trade the Council stated, reaffirming its dedication to ensuring that members’ operational concerns are promptly and effectively represented before regulatory authorities.
