Expressing her excitement, Pooja Sheth Madhavan, Founder & MD of Limelight Diamonds says, "Having received such fantastic customer response for our brand, it brings me great joy and pride to open up our latest store in Thane. The city is an evolving commercial hub that effortlessly complements Limelight's vision of combining tradition with modern luxury as we establish our presence here. Like all other cities, we hope to garner just as much appreciation for the premium quality, make and designs of our jewellery from our customers here as well. The cherry on the top is the affordable price points, of course!” Speaking of the growth in LGD industry she further adds, “The LGD industry in India is seeing a 15-20% year on year growth owing to rising acceptance of the product amongst consumers. Awareness of the LGDs has significantly increased & almost every customer walking into our store is aware that lab diamonds are absolutely real as they are also made of carbon & identical to mined diamonds. Given that they are the same but LGDs are more affordable as they save up on the heavy mining costs that are incurred in natural ones, consumers are considering upgrading their jewellery experience with lab grown diamonds. Maintaining the same budgets, LGDs serve as the perfect upgrade for all the people who would love to move from small diamond studded jewellery to solitaires as well as who choose to spend their money wisely. Over and above, buyback and exchange opportunities by brands like Limelight ensure that the value of the branded product is locked and protected to enjoy their bling and at the same time, be conscious of their choice.” Regional partner of Limelight, Mr. Pratish Nitin Surani of Riddhii Jewels, said, “We are extremely thrilled about our first association with Limelight Diamonds. We have witnessed exponential demand for lab grown diamonds in the recent years and see a lot of potential for this category. Hence, we cannot wait to present the best of lab grown diamond designs to all our customers in Thane.” The growing awareness and acceptance of lab grown diamonds is undoubtedly disrupting the traditional gem and jewellery industry. With the recent entry of the Tata Group into the lab grown diamond space, consumer confidence in these sustainable and ethical alternatives has received a significant boost.

Furthermore, lab grown diamond jewellery brands are now offering attractive buyback and exchange schemes, reinforcing trust and driving consumer adoption. Today, lab grown diamonds account for an estimated 20% of the global gem and jewellery market, and India is experiencing an impressive 15% annual growth in this sector.

The strength of the Brand is not only validated in the store presence across the country but also reflected in the consumer pick-up and response in sales. The branded sales have tripled year on year resulting in a boost in the Company’s confidence to directly engage with customers and expand its retail presence. With the growing market presence, the Brand continues to strengthen its customer base, offering them an exquisite range of never-seen-before solitaire diamond jewellery.
