Lukson Jewels, India’s emerging lab grown diamond jewellery brand founded by third generation diamantaire Anand Lukhi, is witnessing accelerated growth as demand for conscious luxury and everyday fine jewellery rises among Millennial and Gen Z consumers. Backed by the 34-year legacy of the JK Star Group, the brand continues to strengthen its position within the evolving fine jewellery landscape through vertical integration, omnichannel expansion, and design led innovation.

Since launch, Lukson has recorded a sustained 25 percent month on month growth rate, signalling strong product market alignment and repeat customer adoption. Within the first six months of operations, the brand has served over 20,000 customers, achieving more than 99 percent customer satisfaction, reinforcing consumer trust across quality, pricing transparency, and overall buying experience.

The brand’s traction reflects a broader shift in jewellery consumption patterns, particularly among working professionals and younger buyers who increasingly prioritise sustainability, transparency, and versatility over traditional occasion driven purchases.

Today, Lukson offers over 1,500 unique jewellery designs across online and offline channels, spanning earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets crafted with SGL certified lab grown diamonds. New collections are introduced every 15 days, enabling the brand to remain trend responsive while sustaining engagement across categories.

The onboarding of actor Vaani Kapoor as Brand Ambassador has further strengthened Lukson’s positioning at the intersection of modern elegance, ethical sourcing, and aspirational affordability. The association reflects the brand’s intent to build cultural relevance alongside commercial scale.

Currently operating five offline retail stores across five cities, Lukson plans to scale to over 30 stores across key Indian markets, reinforcing its omnichannel strategy and enabling deeper consumer access through experiential retail formats.

Speaking on the brand’s growth trajectory, Anand Lukhi, Founder and CEO, Lukson, said, “Lukson was created around a simple insight that modern consumers want jewellery that reflects both personal style and personal values. Lab grown diamonds allow us to offer the same brilliance and craftsmanship associated with fine jewellery while addressing concerns around sustainability and transparency. Our growth validates that conscious luxury is no longer niche. It is becoming the new mainstream.”

Rooted in JK Star Group’s vertically integrated diamond ecosystem, Lukson combines decades of expertise in grading, craftsmanship, and manufacturing with contemporary D2C retail strategies. This integration allows the brand to maintain tighter quality control while offering premium designs at accessible price points.

Vedant Lukhi, Co-Founder of Lukson, added, “Our focus has been to build systems that support scale without compromising trust. Vertical integration gives us supply security and cost efficiency, while design innovation and fast collection cycles allow us to stay culturally relevant. The goal is not just growth, but sustainable and disciplined expansion.”

Expansion Strategy and Manufacturing Investments

As part of its next phase of growth, Lukson is investing in strengthening its supply chain infrastructure. The company plans to expand its lab grown diamond cultivation capacity to over 400 growing units, ensuring long term supply reliability, enhanced quality control, and improved cost optimisation.

On the retail front, Lukson aims to scale across India through a hybrid retail model comprising exclusive brand stores and shop in shop formats across malls and high street locations in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. This expansion supports the brand’s vision of building deeper national penetration while maintaining a consistent omnichannel experience.

Lab grown diamonds, which possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds, continue to gain acceptance globally due to reduced environmental impact and ethical sourcing advantages. Lukson’s model aligns this technological advancement with evolving consumer expectations around transparency, accessibility, and responsible luxury.

With strong early growth momentum, expanding retail infrastructure, and continued investment across manufacturing and brand development, Lukson is positioning itself as a rising name in India’s conscious luxury jewellery segment.

Abaran Timeless Jewellery Champions Heritage Conservation To Safeguard Traditional Craftsmanship

Support For Hastashilpa Heritage Village Reflects A Commitment To Preserving India’s Architectural and Artisanal Legacy For Future Generations.

Published

on

As India’s historic buildings continue to face mounting pressure from urbanisation, redevelopment, and changing lifestyles, concerns are growing not only about the loss of architectural landmarks but also the disappearance of the traditional skills and craftsmanship that created them. Recognising this challenge, Abaran Timeless Jewellery has extended its support to Hastashilpa Heritage Village, reinforcing the importance of preserving cultural heritage and artisanal knowledge.

Through the Abaran Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Bengaluru-based jewellery house, the company supports a range of initiatives spanning education, healthcare, community welfare, arts, and heritage conservation. Its association with Hastashilpa Heritage Village reflects a deeper commitment to protecting India’s rich cultural legacy beyond the jewellery industry.

Located in Manipal, Hastashilpa Heritage Village is regarded as one of India’s most significant heritage conservation projects. Founded by conservationist Vijaynath Shenoy, the village has successfully rescued and reconstructed traditional homes from across coastal Karnataka, preserving architectural styles and craftsmanship that may otherwise have been lost to neglect or redevelopment.

The conservation process shares many similarities with the art of jewellery making. Every carved beam, decorative element, and handcrafted detail requires meticulous documentation, restoration, and respect for traditional techniques. Much like restoring an heirloom jewel, preserving heritage architecture demands both technical expertise and cultural sensitivity.

For Pratap Kamath, Managing Director of Abaran Timeless Jewellery, the initiative holds personal significance. He noted that the heritage village is located in Udupi, where Abaran was originally founded by his grandfather, Sri Sadanand Kamath. According to Pratap Kamath, the company was inspired by the efforts to preserve heritage homes that might otherwise have vanished as younger generations moved away in search of new opportunities.

His observations reflect a wider concern within the luxury and craft sectors. Whether restoring a centuries-old structure or creating a handcrafted jewel, both disciplines depend on knowledge and expertise that cannot be easily replicated through mass production. Once lost, such skills are extremely difficult to recover.

At the same time, consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that demonstrate authenticity, cultural relevance, and a commitment to preserving heritage. As a result, heritage conservation is evolving from a philanthropic activity into an important reflection of a brand’s values and identity.

Initiatives such as Hastashilpa Heritage Village serve as an important reminder that heritage extends beyond products—it also includes the ecosystems of craft, culture, knowledge, and tradition that make those creations possible.

As India’s architectural treasures and jewellery traditions navigate similar challenges, efforts to preserve one may ultimately help protect the other, ensuring that valuable skills and cultural legacies continue to inspire future generations.
