Palmonas Makes North India Debut with New Store in Delhi’s Omaxe Chowk
The demi-fine jewellery brand brings its affordable, everyday wear collection to the heart of Chandni Chowk, with Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor leading the charge.
Demi-fine jewellery label Palmonas has launched its first retail store in North India, opening doors at the bustling Omaxe Chowk in Chandni Chowk, New Delhi. The store showcases a wide selection of lightweight, stylish jewellery designed for modern women and features promotional visuals of Bollywood actress and brand co-founder Shraddha Kapoor.
“Palmonas was born out of the idea to offer stylish, long-lasting, and affordable jewellery for modern Indian women,” said Shraddha Kapoor, India Retailing reported. “Each piece is crafted to complement everyday looks while making a statement. I’m so excited to see our first North India store come to life at such a vibrant location like Omaxe Chowk, Chandni Chowk.”
The new outlet offers a curated range of necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings tailored to Indian shoppers looking for contemporary, budget-friendly jewellery. With its focus on tarnish-resistant, lightweight designs perfect for everyday use, Palmonas has built a strong global footprint, shipping to over 200 countries.
“Omaxe Chowk, Chandni Chowk, with its blend of heritage and modern infrastructure, is emerging as a launchpad for such brands,” said Omaxe Group’s executive director Jatin Goel. “Palmonas’ entry here is not just a store opening—it represents the growing appetite for curated, experiential retail that resonates with the next generation of shoppers.”
Founded in Pune in 2022 by Pallavi Mohadikar and Amol Patwari, Palmonas later welcomed Shraddha Kapoor as a co-founder. With this Delhi debut, the brand joins an elite line-up of jewellery labels at Omaxe Chowk, including Tanishq, Malabar, CaratLane, Kalyan Jewellers, Senco, and Kisna, as it continues to expand its presence in India’s thriving jewellery market.

GJEPC Paris Jewellery Summit: India & France Explore New Frontiers in Luxury Jewellery
Objective is To Shift India’s Global Positioning From A High-Volume Manufacturing Hub To A Creative, Strategic Co-Creation Partner For France’s Luxury Maisons, Leveraging Indian Craftsmanship, Technical Scale, and Heritage Storytelling
Organised by the GJEPC a three-day summit (13–15 October) brought a curated delegation of 17 Indian jewellery companies to Paris. Led by GJEPC Vice Chairman Shaunak Parikh, the programme culminated in a Buyer-Seller Meet at the Paris Marriott Champs-Élysées.
Core Strategic Objective: Shift India’s global positioning from a high-volume manufacturing hub to a creative, strategic co-creation partner for France’s luxury maisons, leveraging Indian craftsmanship, technical scale, and heritage storytelling alongside French design authority and luxury branding.
Trade Context & Growth:India’s gem and jewellery exports to France grew 19.72% year-on-year to US478.78 million in FY2025–26 (representing 3.8% of France’s total US12.61B jewellery imports).
Gold jewellery exports rose 18.69% (US159.53M) and cut/polished diamonds rose 4.69% (US204.07M).
The India–EU Trade Agreement (concluded January 2026, targeted for implementation in 2027) provides renewed commercial momentum.
Key Summit Milestones & Discussions:
13 October (Embassy of India, Paris): Briefing on “The French Market & the Marketing of Desirability” focused on French consumer expectations, sustainability, traceability, and capability-building. Speakers included Dr. Marta Marcheva (Institut Sup de Luxe), Céline Dassonville (ethiwork / ex-Cartier), and Anish Kumar Singh (GJEPC France).
Networking & Panels (Ritz Paris): High-level discussions featuring Stanislas de Quercize (Messika board member, ex-CEO of Cartier & Van Cleef & Arpels) and Dr. Shalia Shah (Embassy of India). Highlighted the synergy of “hands meeting machine” (traditional artisan skills combined with modern precision tech) and ethical sourcing.
Long-term Ambition: Capitalize on India’s broader US85 billion domestic jewellery market (projected to hit US130B by 2030) and US$28B annual exports by inviting French houses, design schools, and retailers to visit Indian manufacturing hubs for direct artisan collaboration.
