India’s largest lab-grown diamond brand expands in Gujarat with its fourth store, bringing sustainable luxury to Vadodara’s jewellery lovers
Limelight Diamonds, India’s largest lab grown diamond jewellery brand, expanded its footprint in Gujarat with the launch of a brand-new store in Vadodara. The stylish celebration was led by none other than Gujarati cinema’s heartthrob, Malhar Thakar, who inaugurated the space in the presence of Mr. Nirav Bhatt, Co-partner, Limelight Diamonds; Mr. Rohit Chokshi, Franchise Partner; and the Limelight leadership team.
Located at Ocean Complex, Vikram Sarabhai Marg, the store is a reflection of Limelight’s modern philosophy – blending clean design, thoughtful curation, and an education-first approach to diamonds. To add to this celebration, the brand announced an exclusive opening offer: 15% off on diamonds, 15% off on making charges, and a FREE gold coin on purchases above ₹1 lakh, valid till 31st July, 2025.

Admiring the Brand’s collection, Actor Malhar Thakar said, “I’ve always believed in meaningful style, and Limelight’s lab grown diamonds deliver that beautifully. These are 100% real and pure as well as stunning, smart, and proudly made in India. What excites me most is that the brand is also innovating for men, with elegant, bold designs that are wearable, timeless, and conscious. I’m proud to be a part of this movement towards luxury that makes a difference.”
Thoughtfully designed to reflect modern elegance and eco-conscious values, the new store promises a seamless, elevated shopping experience. With curated collections and a comprehensive introduction to the brilliance of lab-grown diamonds, it stands as Vadodara’s new destination for conscious sparkle.
“Opening our fourth store in Gujarat is a testament to the trust and growing demand we’re witnessing in this vibrant state,” said Pooja Sheth Madhavan, Founder & MD, Limelight Diamonds.
“Our vision has always been to make sustainable luxury mainstream, and cities like Vadodara are leading this change. We’re excited to deepen our presence here and bring a thoughtfully curated diamond experience to customers who value transparency, innovation, and elegance.”

The new store featuring certified lab grown diamonds boasts an exquisite collection of solitaire necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings that perfectly blend new-age technology and traditional fine jewellery, establishing itself as the ultimate solitaire destination. While the aesthetic remains globally inspired and minimal, each store is tailored to the lifestyle and preferences of the local consumer, offering pieces that are both relevant and refined.

“Gujarat has been one of our strongest markets; the customer response here has been phenomenal,” said Nirav Bhatt, Co-partner, Limelight Diamonds. “Vadodara was a natural progression for us as we expand deeper into a state that truly appreciates quality and innovation. Opening our fourth store in Gujarat reinforces Limelight’s credibility as the country’s leading name in lab grown diamond jewellery.”
Additionally, the Brand’s customer services include design customisation, lifetime buyback, and a 100% exchange guarantee, along with value-protected complementary jewellery insurance and more, which further instils trust and confidence in the consumers visiting the store.


In the last two years, the Brand has seen rapid growth and has the widest reach in the country for lab grown diamond jewellery with a presence across 40+ cities, including Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Hyderabad, Rajkot, Bangalore, Chennai, etc.

Kriti Sanon Joins GIVA As Investor and Brand Ambassador
Move Marks A Strategic Partnership As GIVA Strengthens Its Position In India’s Fast-Growing Fine Jewellery Market
GIVA, India’s leading fine jewellery brand, today announced National Award-winning actor and entrepreneur Kriti Sanon as both Brand Ambassador and Strategic Investor, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey.
The announcement builds on GIVA’s recent campaign launch with Kriti Sanon, Style, Sealed in Silver, signalling a deeper long-term association between the actor and the brand. Beyond capital, Kriti’s association with GIVA will extend across brand-building, collection design inputs, and consumer engagement, leveraging her strong understanding of fashion, culture, and aspirational young audiences as the brand enters its next phase of growth.

Today, the brand is increasingly focused on a new generation of consumers who view jewellery as an extension of personal style, aspirational, design-led, and made for everyday expression rather than just occasions.
Over the last six years, GIVA has emerged as one of India’s fastest-growing omnichannel jewellery brands, with a rapidly expanding footprint across silver jewellery, gold, and lab-grown diamonds. Today, the brand operates over 300+ stores across the country and Sri Lanka and has built a strong connection with young Indian consumers looking for jewellery that feels personal, expressive, and worn beyond occasion.
Founded in 2019 by Ishendra Agarwal and Nikita Prasad, GIVA entered the market with a clear thesis that India lacked a strong, organised player in the everyday fine silver jewellery category. At a time when silver jewellery remained fragmented and largely occasion-led, GIVA built a design-forward brand focused on young consumers seeking authentic, accessible jewellery they could wear every day.
Speaking on the announcement, Ishendra Agarwal, Founder, GIVA, said:

“Kriti joining GIVA as both ambassador and investor marks a strategic milestone for the brand. She strongly resonates with the new generation of consumers confident, expressive, and deeply individualistic that GIVA is building for. Her investment reflects a shared belief in our long-term vision and the future of design-led fine jewellery in India. Over the years, GIVA has built a strong emotional connection with consumers, and we are excited to have Kriti partner with us as we enter our next phase of growth.”
Speaking about the partnership, Kriti Sanon said:
“What drew me to GIVA was never just the jewellery, it was the conviction behind the brand. From the very beginning, GIVA understood something that many miss: that young India doesn’t want to be dressed, they want to express. And GIVA has built a language for that. By the time we started discussing a partnership, I already believed deeply in the vision. I’ve watched this brand earn real trust, real love, and I wanted to be part of what comes next. And as an investor, I’m here to help shape what it becomes, bringing my instincts around fashion, storytelling, and design to a brand I genuinely believe in.”

Kriti’s strategic investment comes on the heels of GIVA’s ₹530 crore Series C round led by Creaegis, with participation from Premji Invest, Epiq Capital, and Edelweiss Discovery Fund capital being deployed towards retail expansion, technology, supply chain strengthening, and growth in newer categories including lab-grown diamonds.
With design, distribution, and now a deeper creative partnership at its core, GIVA is building towards becoming the defining fine jewellery brand for a new generation of Indian consumers.
