Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 9: A diamond is rarely just a diamond. It's the ring held onto through a proposal remembered a hundred times over, the pendant passed from a mother to a daughter, the gift bought with months of saving for an anniversary that mattered. That same piece, worn out into the world, is also vulnerable to a moment no one plans for, a chain snatched off a crowded street, a home broken into, a robbery that turns a cherished possession into a painful memory. It is with this understanding that Divine Solitaires, India's leading loose solitaire brand focused exclusively on natural diamond jewellery, and Olocker, India's first dedicated jewellery insurance platform, have come together, not to launch a new product, but to extend a promise that Divine Solitaires made to its customers nearly 15 years ago, long before jewellery insurance was common in the industry.
