Competitor Analysis
Overview
Established Brands: They offer wider design choices and brand trust, but may have higher
prices and limited focus on lab-grown options. (e.g., Tanishq's "I:AM" collection)
DTC Companies: They offer competitive prices, ethical sourcing, and recycled metals.
However, brand recognition and design selection might be limited. (e.g., Bluestone,
CaratLane)
Unorganized Market: Lower prices exist, but transparency and quality can be inconsistent.
Online Retailers: Convenience and curated collections are key strengths unique design,
education about lab-grown diamonds, and exceptional customer service to compete with
these companies. (e.g., JewelBox, Limelight Diamonds)
Our Edge: We offer stunning lab-grown diamond jewelry crafted with affordability, high
sustainability, conflict-free practices, and recycled metals.

remains dominant, especially for lab-grown diamond jewellery, which is a relatively new
segment. Here's a deeper dive into this complex landscape:
Dominant Player: Estimates suggest the unorganized market accounts for roughly
65% of the total Indian jewellery market, valued at over $57 billion (as of March
2022).
Familiarity: This segment is characterized by a vast network of small family-run
jewellers, local artisans and independent sellers.
