For our partner jewellers, TSFI continues to be an important platform to drive consumer engagement, strengthen store interactions and build the solitaire category.
We are grateful to our customers and every partner jeweller who contributed to making this edition a success.”

The campaign included visibility through 100 insertions in newspapers, 300 hoardings, leaflets, radio, mobile vans, entry gates and social media, along with an influencer-led outreach programme. Together, these efforts helped create stronger awareness for TSFI across markets, bringing the festival closer to consumers and generating excitement around the celebration, prizes and participating retail stores.

The brand continues to work closely with its partner jewellers to expand awareness of natural diamond solitaires and create greater consumer accessibility across markets. With a network of 200+ partner jewellers across 100+ cities, Divine Solitaires remains focused on building long-term partnerships that support both retail growth and consumer engagement.
On the B2C front, TSFI 2026 offered consumers an opportunity to combine their purchase of a certified natural diamond solitaire with the excitement of assured rewards and lucky draws. The campaign also continued its loyalty advantage for returning customers, rewarding those who had participated in previous editions of TSFI with upgrades on their assured gifts.
