Raniwala 1881 Partners with Francorp to Scale Retail Footprint Through Franchising

Raniwala 1881, the luxury jewellery brand rooted in Jaipur’s rich heritage, has announced a strategic alliance with Francorp, the franchising advisory arm of Franchise India Group, to fuel its next phase of growth through a structured franchise model.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for the 140-year-old brand as it seeks to expand its retail footprint across India while staying true to its legacy of regal design and meticulous craftsmanship.

Under the agreement, Raniwala 1881 will implement both Franchise-Owned, Franchise-Operated (FOFO) and Franchise-Owned, Company-Operated (FOCO) models. These formats aim to offer opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors to be part of the evolution of one of India’s most prestigious fine jewellery brands.

“Our jewellery is more than just adornment; it is a representation of centuries-old craftsmanship and a deep-rooted heritage,” said Abhishek Raniwala, Managing Director of Raniwala 1881. “With the growing demand for handcrafted Polki and Jadau jewellery, this partnership with Francorp allows us to expand while preserving our brand’s exclusivity.”

Founded in the 19th century by Rai Bahadur Champalal of Beawar, the brand carries a legacy dating back to the British era, when the family was honored with the title “Raniwala.” The brand continues to be a trusted name in bridal jewellery, known for its 18-karat gold Polki pieces that appeal to both Gen Z and Millennial audiences.

Over the years, Raniwala 1881 has also collaborated with some of India’s top fashion designers, including Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Manish Malhotra, and Rahul Mishra, reinforcing its place at the intersection of heritage and high fashion.

The shift toward franchising comes as India’s jewellery market undergoes a transformation, with consumers increasingly gravitating toward branded, story-driven luxury pieces that offer authenticity and traceability.

Francorp will help guide Raniwala 1881’s expansion across metro cities and fast-growing luxury markets, ensuring a consistent retail experience that honors the brand’s heritage.

“Luxury retail is evolving rapidly, and heritage brands like Raniwala 1881 are leading the way in strategic expansion while maintaining timeless elegance and exclusivity,” said Gaurav Marya, Chairman of Franchise India Group. “Franchising provides an effective model to scale without compromising brand integrity. With FOFO and FOCO formats, we’re introducing a new dimension to luxury jewellery retail in India.”

Anshula Kapoor turned heads with a striking jewellery look that perfectly balanced heritage artistry with contemporary sophistication. Wearing exceptional creations from Khurana Jewellery House, Shree Raj Jewellers, Raniwala 1881 and Meera Mahadevia, she demonstrated how timeless Indian jewellery can be styled to make an effortlessly elegant statement.

The focal point of her ensemble was a series of layered Kundan chokers, intricately handcrafted with oversized uncut Polki diamonds. Designed to sit high along the neckline, the structured necklaces rested gracefully against her collarbone, blending seamlessly with the intricate aari embroidery of her blouse to create a cohesive and luxurious aesthetic.

Complementing the necklaces were a pair of traditional chandelier jhumkis that beautifully framed her face. She paired them with a delicate classic nath, adding a subtle touch of bridal-inspired elegance without overwhelming the overall look.

Her sleek, pulled-back hairstyle allowed the jewellery to remain the highlight. A beautifully crafted floral-motif maang tikka adorned the centre of her forehead, while a premium traditional hair patch accessory from Shree Raj Jewellers enhanced her neatly styled low bun, adding depth and richness to the ensemble.

Anshula Kapoor adorned handcrafted Raniwala 1881 jewels—a stunning Polki choker layered with an emerald and Polki necklace, statement earrings, regal bangles, kamarband, bajuband, and rings, all exquisitely crafted by Jaipur’s master artisans.

Completing the look, Anshula wore a stack of heavy traditional gold kadas that lent a bold, regal appeal to her wrists. A dramatic cocktail ring, centred with a prominent Polki stone, served as the perfect finishing touch, reinforcing the grandeur of the styling.

The overall ensemble celebrated the enduring appeal of Indian craftsmanship, where Kundan, Polki, and finely detailed goldwork came together in a look that was both timeless and fashion-forward. Anshula Kapoor’s jewellery choices once again highlighted how classic heirloom-inspired pieces continue to define luxury while remaining effortlessly relevant for today’s discerning wearer.
