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.

Reva Diamonds by PNGS Records 2.51x Revenue Growth, This Gudi Padwa, Signalling Strong Consumer Confidence in Fine Jewellery
The brand sees record-breaking festive sales, reinforcing the buoyancy of India’s organised jewellery retail sector
Reva Diamonds by PNGS, the certified natural diamond jewellery brand from the house of P.N. Gadgil & Sons, has recorded a 2.51x year-on-year surge in revenue this Gudi Padwa — its strongest festive performance since inception. The brand clocked revenue of Rs.7.30 crore on Gudi Padwa FY 2025-26, against Rs.2.08 crore on the same occasion in FY 2024-25. The milestone comes on the heels of the brand’s Rs.380 crore IPO on BSE and NSE and the inauguration of its new exclusive showroom in Kothrud, Pune, and underscores the growing appetite among Indian consumers for accessible, certified, and design-forward diamond jewellery.
Gudi Padwa, one of Maharashtra’s most auspicious occasions for new beginnings and significant purchases, has traditionally been a strong period for jewellery retail. This year, Reva Diamonds by PNGS saw a dramatic acceleration in consumer interest, with revenues rising from Rs.2.08 crore in FY 2024-25 to Rs.7.30 crore in FY 2025-26 on Gudi Padwa — a 2.51x jump that signals certified natural diamond jewellery is no longer a consideration only for high-end buyers, but a mainstream aspiration for Indian households.
The performance is even more meaningful when viewed against Reva’s current footprint: the brand operates 2 exclusive branded showrooms (EBOs) and 34 Shop-in-Shop (SIS) outlets across 25 cities in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka. The Gudi Padwa numbers reflect the strength of this multi-format presence — and signal that both the exclusive showroom experience and the accessibility of the SIS format are resonating strongly with consumers.
The numbers are particularly encouraging given the broader context: while premium and luxury categories have seen selective consumer spending, fine jewellery — especially when backed by trust, transparency, and a heritage brand — has emerged as a resilient and aspirational choice. Reva’s certification-first philosophy and its mass-premium pricing, starting at Ra.20,000, have clearly struck a chord.

Aditya Modak, Non-Executive Director, Reva Diamonds by PNGS, said,“A 2.51x growth in revenue this Gudi Padwa — from Rs.2.08 crore last year to Rs.7.30 crore this year — is not just a number we are proud of. It is a reflection of how meaningfully the market has shifted. Consumers today are informed, they care about provenance, and they want jewellery that is both beautiful and responsibly sourced. Reva was built for exactly this consumer.
This performance tells us we are on the right path, and it gives us tremendous confidence as we continue to expand our footprint and deepen our connection with buyers across Maharashtra and beyond.”
For jewellers across the organised sector, the Gudi Padwa numbers offer a welcome and instructive data point. Consumer sentiment towards fine jewellery remains strong, and brands that combine legacy credibility with modern product innovation are seeing disproportionate returns. Reva Diamonds by PNGS, with its PNGS heritage spanning over 190 years, its certified natural diamond portfolio across 13 distinct collections, and its sharp design language, is well-positioned to continue riding this momentum through the year.
With its Kothrud showroom now fully operational, 34 SIS outlets active across 25 cities, and additional expansion earmarked from IPO proceeds, the brand enters the next quarter with both the intent and infrastructure to match growing consumer demand.
