Tanishq Celebrates A New Era of Sparkle Where Brilliance Meets Transparency
In partnership with De Beers to launch the Tanishq Diamonds Expertise Centre — putting knowledge and trust in the hands of every customer
Tanishq, India’s most trusted jewellery brand, in partnership with De Beers Group, has unveiled the first-ever Tanishq Diamonds Expertise Centre a first of its kind initiative that flips the script on long-held myths and redefines the diamond buying journey through trust, transparency, and technology. To mark the beginning of this new era of sparkle, Tanishq hosted an unforgettable evening that celebrated the spirit of the modern Tanishq Woman—empowered, self-assured, and uncompromising in her choices. The event was a tribute to her evolving identity and her refined eye for authenticity, craftsmanship, and meaning.
This industry-first initiative addresses a long-standing consumer need by introducing a transparent, in-store diamond evaluation process. Using cutting-edge tools, it simplifies the assessment of diamond quality and origin, offering real-time assurance and peace of mind to customers. With this bold step, Tanishq reaffirms its leadership in the jewellery space by setting a new industry benchmark for diamond transparency—empowering customers with clarity, confidence, and care throughout their buying journey. The launch event was a powerful reflection of Tanishq’s unwavering commitment to authenticity, education, and innovation, bringing to life its vision of transforming how India experiences natural diamonds.




The Tanishq Diamonds Expertise Centre introduces a multi-tool setup featuring five advanced devices that evaluate key aspects of a diamond — including light performance, origin, inclusions, and laser markings. By bringing this state-of-the-art evaluation process into the store, Tanishq has placed the power directly in the hands of the customer. No longer reliant solely on verbal assurances, customers can now see the science behind the sparkle for themselves, engaging in every step of the journey with clarity and confidence. Among these tools, the Lightscope measures a diamond’s light performance, which directly correlates to its sparkle — allowing customers to choose not just any diamond, but one that shines with exceptional brilliance. The SynthDetect guarantees authenticity by accurately distinguishing between natural and other alternatives, giving buyers complete peace of mind. By combining cutting-edge technology with expert guidance, Tanishq transforms complex gemological data into simple, visual insights — giving customers not just information, but true empowerment. This marks a powerful shift, from passive buying to informed choosing, where every diamond is selected with transparency, trust, and certainty.


To celebrate the launch of this industry-first initiative, Tanishq hosted a spectacular gala evening that brought the vision of the Tanishq Diamonds Expertise Centre to life in the most dazzling way. The event featured a curated exhibition of the brand’s most exceptional collections, including the rarest of rare Natural Diamonds crafted around the single gemstone, which is unique in nature. Each design is a singular masterpiece and one of its kind in the whole world. The Etheral Wonders collection offers an ultra-luxurious fusion of tradition and modernity. The Radiance In Rhythm collection is a masterclass in craftsmanship, from the superior quality of natural diamonds to the thoughtful design language and unique setting styles, which was launched at the global platform, the Paris Couture Week.
The star-studded celebration saw timeless icon like Sushmita Sen, along with the celebrated Indian actress Fatima Sana Shaikh and the effortlessly elegant Sapna Pabbi alongside industry leaders and diamond enthusiasts, grace the occasion adding glamour to an already brilliant night. The evening culminated in a striking fashion show where each creation lit up the runway, highlighting the artistry, precision, and storytelling behind Tanishq’s natural diamond collections. The show captured the past, present, and future of Tanishq Diamond’s journey, tracing its evolution in design, craftsmanship, and customer trust. More than just a display of exquisite jewellery, the celebration embodied Tanishq’s commitment to transforming the diamond buying experience — where every stone reflects rarity, brilliance, and timelessness.

Speaking on the occasion, Ajoy Chawla, CEO, Tanishq, Titan Company Ltd.said, “With the launch of the Tanishq Diamonds Expertise Centre, our aim is to set a new standard in natural diamond retail — one that goes beyond traditional display and transforms the buying journey into a transparent, educational, and truly immersive experience.

The Role Of Hallmarking and Transparency In Strengthening Consumer Confidence
By Suresh Krishnan, Vice President – Sales, PNG Jewellers
In India, jewellery is equally an emotional purchase and a significant financial transaction. As consumers become more informed and digitally empowered, trust is increasingly becoming a decisive factor alongside design, price and brand reputation. Hallmarking has played an important role in creating that trust by giving consumers third-party assurance of precious-metal purity.

India’s hallmarking ecosystem has expanded significantly. BIS data shows that hallmarking registrations increased from 34,647 to 1,37,315 between April 2021 and March 2022 *1, while more than 8.72 crore gold and silver articles were hallmarked during that year. The introduction of the six-digit Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) in 2021 has further strengthened traceability. Consumers can verify a gold article’s HUID through the BIS CARE app, adding an independent layer of assurance at the point of purchase.
For an organised retailer, this becomes particularly relevant as jewellery discovery increasingly moves online. A customer may discover a product on social media, compare it on an e-commerce platform and complete the transaction digitally. In such a journey, hallmarking helps bridge the trust gap created by the absence of physical touch and feel. When purity is independently verifiable, consumers can make online purchases with greater confidence.
The opportunity is also expanding beyond gold. BIS has brought both gold and silver under its hallmarking framework. In FY2024-25, more than 32 lakh silver jewellery articles*2 were hallmarked. The revised IS 2112:2025 introduced HUID-based hallmarking for silver on a voluntary basis from September 2025, creating greater traceability and consumer assurance in a category that is increasingly relevant to younger and value-conscious buyers.
This evolution matters commercially. KPMG’s India CX Report 2025*3 found that 27% of fine-jewellery customers are more confident in authenticity, quality and value when they trust a brand, while 9% said they would explore another brand if jewellery appeared overpriced for its quality. These findings underline why trust is not simply a compliance issue; it directly influences consideration and willingness to pay.
Contributing to the larger goal of organised and transparent trade, hallmarking has now been integrated as part of the broader customer experience across stores, CRM and e-commerce. As India’s jewellery market becomes increasingly omnichannel, the brands that communicate purity, pricing and policies clearly will be better positioned to convert digital discovery into purchase and, more importantly, build relationships that extend beyond a single transaction. The future of jewellery retail will therefore be defined not only by what consumers see, but by how confidently they can verify what they are buying and hallmarking takes care of that concern efficiently.
