Firefly Diamonds Crosses 10 Stores Across India, Eyes 25 Locations by the End of 2026
Firefly Diamonds, one of Indias fastest-growing lab-grown diamond jewellery brands, has crossed a significant milestone with the opening of its 10th store in India, reinforcing its position among the country's largest and most rapidly expanding players in the lab-grown diamond jewellery segment. Firefly Diamonds has established a presence across five major cities Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad serving a growing community of over 2,000 customers celebrating life's most meaningful occasions, from engagements and weddings to anniversaries, birthdays and everyday milestones. From left to right: Adit Bhansali and Aayush Bhansali, Co-Founders of Firefly Diamonds The milestone follows the recent launch of one of India's largest four-storey lab-grown diamond jewellery stores in Mumbai and marks another step in Firefly's ambition to make premium diamond jewellery more accessible to a new generation of consumers. At the heart of Firefly's offering are lab-grown diamonds that are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds, while offering better brilliance, clarity and colour. Created using advanced technology and renewable energy, these diamonds are certified by the same globally recognised laboratories that certify natural diamonds. " For three generations, our family has been in the diamond business. What has changed is the customer ," said Aayush Bhansali, Co-founder, Firefly Diamonds . " Consumers want exceptional craftsmanship, meaningful design, and a smarter way to own diamonds. Firefly was built to meet that demand. Reaching 10 stores across India is an important milestone, but it's only the beginning as we work towards making world-class diamond jewellery more accessible to a new generation of buyers . Every Firefly jewellery piece undergoes a meticulous 20-step production process that takes over 100 hours to complete. Each diamond is set entirely by hand, followed by a rigorous 100-step quality assurance process. Only the top 2% of diamonds are selected, ensuring every piece is crafted to become a lasting heirloom for generations to come. Firefly further enhances customer experience through a suite of personalised services. Through Firefly Studio, customers can explore more than 50,000 customised ring combinations across diamonds, settings and styles, while Firefly Reserve offers bespoke jewellery creation services that transform personal stories, inspirations and heirlooms into one-of-a-kind pieces. The brand's Old Gold Exchange programme offers customers an opportunity to exchange their existing gold jewellery for Firefly store credit and added value, making it easier to upgrade to lab-grown diamond jewellery. As Firefly's lab-grown diamonds are grown in India, every purchase supports domestic manufacturing and craftsmanship, ensuring that more value stays within the country rather than flowing into overseas mining supply chains. Together, the Old Gold Exchange programme and locally grown diamonds offer customers a modern, responsible way to own diamond jewellery while contributing to India's jewellery ecosystem. In 2025, Firefly secured USD 3 million in funding led by WestBridge Capital, a leading venture capital firm with over USD 8 billion in AUM. The investment will continue to support Firefly Diamonds plans to expand its store footprint to 25 stores this year and 60 stores next year, further strengthening its position as one of India's largest lab-grown diamond jewellery brands. As part of this journey, the company is also looking to partner with franchisees who share its vision of bringing premium lab-grown diamond jewellery to customers across the country. Its portfolio includes many collections, notably, All Ways You, a collection featuring transformable jewellery that transitions seamlessly from everyday wear to evening occasions; Maxim, a contemporary collection created for the growing men's jewellery segment; and the Eden Collection, inspired by lush gardens, transforming freely climbing vines and light-catching leaves into delicate diamond silhouettes that capture nature illuminated. These sit alongside an expanding range of collections designed for versatility, self-expression and everyday celebrations. Sustainability remains central to the brand's philosophy. The brand's lab-grown diamonds are created using renewable energy, offering a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional diamond mining. Extending this commitment beyond its products, Firefly plants a tree in the name of every customer. Through a digital tracking platform, customers can monitor their tree's location, growth, carbon offset and oxygen contribution, creating a tangible environmental legacy linked to every purchase. Giving back to society is equally central to Firefly's journey. The brand's co-founders established CADIndia, a non-profit initiative that provides affordable training in CAD software used in jewellery design and manufacturing. The programme has trained hundreds of students from diverse backgrounds, many of whom have gone on to contribute to the jewellery industry, creating a direct link between skill development, employment and craftsmanship. About Firefly Diamonds Firefly Diamonds is a modern lab-grown diamond jewellery brand built on a 60-year legacy of craftsmanship. With a focus on sustainability, custom design, and everyday luxury, Firefly offers 100% real, certified diamonds powered by renewable energy, both online and across its stores in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. Extending its sustainability-first ethos, Firefly plants a tree in the name of every customer, creating a lasting environmental legacy tied to each jewellery purchase. info@fireflydiamonds.com

Beyond Tulips: Ganderbal's Lavender bloom captivates tourists
Ganderbal, Jun 30:A sprawling lavender farm in Nunner village of central Kashmir's Ganderbal district is fast emerging as one of the Valley's newest seasonal tourist attractions, drawing visitors, photographers and nature enthusiasts eager to witness its vibrant purple bloom. Developed under the CSIR-Aroma Mission, the lavender fields have reached peak flowering this week, transforming the landscape into a sea of purple against the backdrop of the Sindh Nallah and the snow-clad Haramukh mountains. From the early hours of the morning, tourists and local residents flock to the farm for photography, social media reels and leisurely walks amid the fragrant blossoms. The growing popularity of the site received a major boost recently when Chief Minister Omar Abdullah inaugurated the Lavender Festival organised by the Agriculture Department Kashmir at the Model Floriculture Centre (MFC), Nunner. During the visit, he also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated several agriculture infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening the medicinal and aromatic plants sector and improving farmers' livelihoods. Drawing comparisons with internationally renowned lavender destinations, the Chief Minister said the scenic lavender fields of Ganderbal have the potential to become a major attraction for travellers heading to Sonamarg. He said such initiatives could generate new livelihood opportunities for local communities while promoting rural tourism in the region. Local farmers said the farm has witnessed a steady rise in footfall, with many travellers halting along the Srinagar-Sonamarg highway to explore the fields and capture photographs. This is better than any garden in Srinagar. The whole valley looks painted purple, and the scent is calming, said Ayesha Khan, a tourist from Mumbai who visited the farm on Saturday. With the annual Amarnath Yatra and the peak summer tourist season underway, officials and residents believe the lavender fields could emerge as an attractive offbeat destination for pilgrims and tourists travelling to Sonamarg. We came for Kheer Bhawani at Tullamulla. A local told us about the Nunner lavender fields. It's Kashmir's best-kept secret, said Ritesh Kumar, a devotee from Jammu. The Agriculture Department is encouraging more farmers in Ganderbal to adopt aromatic crop cultivation by providing free lavender saplings and facilitating buyback arrangements for lavender oil through CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (IIIM), making the transition economically viable. Agriculture experts said aromatic and medicinal plants offer significant economic potential and can play a key role in diversifying Kashmir's agricultural economy. They said commercial cultivation of these high-value crops, coupled with greater participation of educated youth, could provide sustainable livelihoods and improve the financial security of farming families. Experts also highlighted the environmental benefits of lavender cultivation, noting that the crop requires relatively little pesticide, improves soil health and attracts bees, thereby enhancing pollination of neighbouring crops. Officials said Kashmir's thriving tourism industry offers a ready market for ornamental and floriculture products. They added that the department is intensifying efforts to encourage more farmers to diversify into ornamental, medicinal and aromatic plant cultivation to tap both tourism and commercial opportunities.
