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.”

Harit Zaveri Jewellers Celebrates A Bride’s Royal Spirit In An Indian Wedding With Its New Polki Collection

A Celebration Of Regal Femininity, Heirloom Craftsmanship, and The Refreshing Depth Of Emeralds.

June 2026 A bride’s jewellery is never merely ornamental, it carries sentiment, memory, and the quiet power of tradition. With its newest Polki Collection, Harit Zaveri Jewellers introduces a refined take on royal Indian bridal jewellery, thoughtfully designed for the modern bride who embraces heritage while expressing her individuality with confidence and grace.

Crafted between 18kt to 14kt gold and enriched by Emeralds, Harit Zaveri Jewellers Polki collection celebrates a bride in her most transformative moment – poised between reflection and becoming. Every jewellery piece in the collection is designed to accompany her through this pause.

At the heart of the collection lies the richness of polki craftsmanship – raw, uncut diamonds admired for their old-world charm and regal appeal, long associated with royal Indian heirlooms. Paired with vivid emeralds, known to symbolise renewal, harmony, love, and abundance, the collection brings together heritage and elegance. The richness of green emeralds adds depth and freshness, creating jewels that feel both classic and strikingly modern.

The collection features an expansive range of statement and versatile pieces including necklaces, kadas, rings, earrings, and bridal sets, thoughtfully embellished with emeralds, pearls, and polki detailing.

This collection from Harit Zaveri Jewellers compliments classic reds and heritage weaves to contemporary ivories, pastels, and couture silhouettes. Whether layered with a traditional lehenga, paired with a modern sari drape, or styled for intimate pre-wedding celebrations, these pieces seamlessly adapt while elevating every bridal look with a quiet majesty.

These pieces are envisioned as modern heirlooms, where meticulous craftsmanship, precious materials, and timeless artistry come together to create pieces worthy of being passed down through generations.

Harit Zaveri, Joint Managing Director at Harit Zaveri Jewellers said:

“At Harit Zaveri Jewellers, we have always believed bridal jewellery should feel personal, something that reflects a bride’s story and individuality. Many of our clients naturally gravitate towards one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with their personality and become part of their memories for years to come. With this Polki collection, we wanted to celebrate craftsmanship with the richness of emeralds, a stone that beautifully complements a variety of bridal colours and effortlessly completes a look. Above all, quality remains at the heart of everything we create because we believe jewellery should feel as enduring as the memories and moments attached to it.”
