Limelight: Pioneering Sustainable CVD Jewellery Since 2019

My Vision for Limelight is to establish itself as a global SUSTAINABLE Luxury jewellery brand from India. We are on a mission and I am excited to announce that limelight is globally the first exclusive lab grown diamond jewellery brand to be certified as ESG+ compliant.

Our Background

Started in 2019, Limelight Lab Grown Diamonds Ltd. has been India’s largest sustainable jewellery brand offering lab-grown CVD diamond-studded jewellery. Headquartered in Mumbai, Limelight has been able to spread its wings in India with a network of over 65+ partners in cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Surat, Mumbai, etc. Backed by the world’s largest lab grown CVD diamond production unit – the Bhathwari Group, that boasts of rough diamond production of over 5 million carats each year, we come with the strength of a wide range of jewellery for our customers.

Adding to our recent achievements, Limelight is proud to be honoured amongst the ‘The Economic Times – Sustainable Organisations 2023’ for their excellence in sustainability practices. This has been attained for their continuous efforts and adoption of newer initiatives for a lesser impact on the environment.

With strong consumer validation and acceptance of lab grown diamonds in the Indian market, spreading its wings, Limelight is now available at Shoppers Stop, across various locations in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and more locations for the coming months.

Lately, Limelight Diamonds was also announced as the first exclusive CVD diamond jewellery brand from India to achieve an ESG+ certification with a Butterfly Mark, a premium respected trust mark by Positive Luxury, a leading UK based accreditation body. This recognition has been attained for their dedication to highest standards of sustainability best practices across ESG+ i.e., Environment, Social, Governance and Innovation with a Butterfly Mark.

Our efforts were also recognised by Commerce Minister Hon. Piyush Goyal ji at India’s largest jewellery trade show in Bangalore, where Limelight was shortlisted to understand the potential of lab grown diamond jewellery in India. Limelight has also been awarded the ET (Economic Times) Business Icon Award 2020 for Technology Leaders in Sustainable Diamond Creation, and strongly advocates sustainable and conscious living that can maintain the diamond legacy yet preserve the planet for a brighter future. As the leading sustainable brand in India, Limelight has been at the forefront for showcasing lab-grown CVD diamond-studded jewellery from India to the world.

Limelight has not only been successful in attracting the consumers and the trade but also most recently received great support from several of the Royal Families in India that have been inheritors of some of the most precious diamond jewellery in the past.
