Forevermark and C. Krishniah Chetty Jewellers Celebrate a Year of Exquisite Diamond Luxury in India
A year after opening its doors as the world’s first exclusive Forevermark boutique, the prestigious C. Krishniah Chetty Jewellers showroom in India marked its first anniversary with a grand celebration. This significant milestone underscores the enduring partnership between Forevermark, the distinguished diamond brand from the De Beers Group of Companies, and one of India’s most revered luxury jewellers. The event not only commemorated a successful year of offering unparalleled diamond experiences but also reaffirmed the commitment of both brands to quality, rarity, and responsible sourcing in the vibrant Indian luxury market.
A Star-Studded Celebration of Trust and Brilliance
The anniversary festivities were elevated by the presence of renowned actress Disha Patani, whose elegance perfectly mirrored the sophistication of the Forevermark brand. As a guest of honour, Patani shared her admiration for Forevermark diamonds and the unique experience offered by the C. Krishniah Chetty Jewellers boutique.
“I am truly honoured to be a part of this celebration with Forevermark and C. Krishniah Chetty Jewellers at their first boutique store in India,” Patani remarked, emphasizing the profound significance of wearing such exceptional pieces. “Forevermark diamonds are recognized globally for being the most beautiful, rare, and responsibly sourced diamonds in the world. Knowing that less than one percent of the world’s diamonds are eligible to be a Forevermark diamond makes me feel extra special to wear this beautiful piece of jewellery today.” Her statement resonated with the core values of Forevermark, highlighting the brand’s stringent selection process and its dedication to ethical practices, a message that deeply connects with today’s discerning luxury consumer.

This strategic expansion is a clear indicator of the brand’s confidence in the burgeoning Indian luxury market and its commitment to making its exquisite diamonds accessible to a wider discerning audience.
India’s deep-rooted cultural affinity for gold and diamonds, coupled with its rapidly growing affluent consumer base, positions it as a critical market for luxury brands. Forevermark’s expansion strategy aims to tap into this potential, offering not just a product, but a promise of beauty, rarity, and ethical integrity that resonates deeply with Indian values and aspirations.
