Manufacturing process
Every piece of diamond jewellery, you buy from GemTrove is flawlessly crafted by highly
skilled craftsmen to become the symbol of love that lasts forever. Our in house design and
production studio boasts exceptional facilities to ensure that each piece of diamond jewellery
is impeccably done.
Although we possess the most sophisticated and technologically advanced equipment, the
jewellery making process beings with the age-old casting process. Please follow our step-by-
step guide to explore the fascinating method that ends in the production of a beautifully jewel-
lery.
Kindly follow our step-by-step guide, which is laid down in the form of flow chart and know
the exciting process that culminates in the manufacturing of beautiful diamond jewellery.
The very first step is the creation of the wax model. The wax is created by injecting molten
wax into a rubber mould. For desired result, the correct pressures are applied and timed accu-
rately. The waxes are checked to ensure that they are free from defects and flaws such as air
bubbles, distinct join lines, and irregularities of surface color, finish and flashing. Great atten-
tion is vital during this process to safeguard perfect waxes are produced.
Wax is used primarily because it retains its shape during the moulding process, and therefore
produces excellent results. Additionally, wax burns away cleanly and efficiently.
When all rings have been correctly placed, a can, or flask, is place over the
tree. The solution similar to plaster of Paris, is then poured in the container
and left for 3 hours to set. Page No.8
Manufacturing process
Step-3 : Casting
Firstly, the casting chamber is flushed with helium. This ensures that the any foreign gases are
removed. Then a vacuum is applied to the lower chamber, the stopper is lifted in the upper
chamber, allowing metal to flow into the mould through the process of gravity. This sequence
of events is determined by pre-set programmes to ensure that each stage is activated at the ex-
act time to achieve perfect results. The vacuum is then released and the chamber opens. When
the cast tin is removed it is immersed in water to reveal the cast tree.
At the stage when the diamond is to be finally set up ,our team will be helping you in selecting
the diamond as per your requirement. Every diamond is rigorously checked for continuity of
cut, carat, clarity and colour. All diamonds are quality checked several times before they are
set into the ring.
Once the appropriate diamond is selected, the jeweller will set the
ring. The facets of the diamond are expertly filed to ensure that the
diamond will sit perfectly in its setting. When the diamond is set,
the piece of jewellery will be glossed and polished to achieve a
vivid sheen and sparkle .

Step-5 : Rhodium Plating
Rhodium is a rare, naturally occurring member of the platinum group of metals. It involves covering
one metal surface with a very thin layer of another through electrolysis. Rhodium plating adds shine
and sparkle to the jewellery piece and helps in resisting tarnishing. Under the process the item to be
plated is dipped in a liquid solution containing the plating metal. When an electric current is added to
the mix, the tiny suspended particles of plating metal bond to the surface of the immersed piece of jew-
ellery, dramatically giving a new land sheen look to your jewellery.

Types of Indian Jewelry
Antique Jewelry
The jewelry which is not in mainstream production and of which the
mode of production is no longer popular is known by the name of
‘Antique Jewelry.’ This kind of jewelry has dull and rough look.
Filigree Jewelry
Filigree work is done on silver and involves lots of precision and
technicality, added with great amount of patience and an eye for
minute details.
Gold Jewelry
Gold is a metal that lures many. It gives the security against any
financial crisis, because of its easy liquidity, and is also used by
women for adorning themselves. Traditionally, gold has been con-
sidered auspicious among Hindus and is regarded to be symbolic of
Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth.
Handmade jewelry
Talking about jewelry manufacturing in India is as good as talking
about handmade jewelry in India. A major chunk of jewelry in the
country is made by independent craftsmen. Traditionally also, a sig-
nificant part of jewelry manufacturing has been handmade jewelry.
Jadau Jewelry
Jadau Jewelry forms one of the major examples of high skilled
craftsmanship that was brought into India by Mughals. Historical-
ly speaking, the tradition of Jadau work has been in practice in the
states of Rajasthan and Gujarat since the Mughal era. Jadau jewel-
lery is also called engraved jewelry.
Kundan Jewelry
During Mughal period, the art of kundan work reached Rajasthan
from Delhi. Later on, craftsmen from the different part of the coun-
try migrated to the place and made Rajasthan a hub of Kundankari.
Rulers and feudal lords gave patronage to the art and it developed
into perfection.
Meenakari Jewelry
In Meenakari jewelry, precious stones are set and then enameled
with gold. Historically speaking, the art was introduced to Rajasthan
artisans by Raja Mansingh of Amer. He invited Lahore-based skilled
artisans to his kingdom, and their intermingling with the locals
craftsmen resulted in an amalgam.
Page No.11
Navratna Jewelry
In Navratna jewelry, nine auspicious stones are used in a single ornament.
The belief behind this is that the nine stones together ensure well being of
the person who wears it.
Silver Jewelry
Silver Jewelry, along with gold jewelry, is quite popular amongst Indi-
an women. Ornaments made of silver, such as rings, bracelets, chains,
necklaces, nose rings, earrings, toe rings, heavy kadas, and armlets, form
integral part of Indian jewelry.
Stone Jewelry
Jewelry studded with different gems is quite popular among Indians. For
reasons ranging from spiritual to aesthetic to health, gemstone jewelry has
become the part of life of Indian women and men both.
Temple Jewelry
Indian jewelry art is at times divided into three kinds - temple jewelry,
spiritual jewelry and bridal jewelry. Temple jewelry of India initially used
to be described as the jewelry used to adorn the idols of Gods and God-
desses. The statues In India were ornamented with chunky necklaces.
Tribal Jewelry
Tribal jewelry in India is quite rich. Each tribe has kept its unique style of
jewelry intact even now. The original format of jewelry design has been
preserved by ethnic tribal. Jewelry that is made of bone, wood, clay, shells
and crude metal, by tribals, is not only attractive, but also holds a distinct
rustic charm.
Page No.12
Design Process
The art of jewelry making dates back thousands of years, to a time when ancient civiliza-
tions crafted jewelry for personal adornment. Created to display gemstones, express faith,
and signify social status, artisans made jewelry that ranged from shells on hemp strings to
tiaras and crowns worn by royalty.
Throughout the ages, the continual discovery of new gems, precious metals and ornamental
materials, combined with advancement of tools and metallurgy, have made it possible for
almost everyone to own fine jewelry.
At Jewelry Designs our artisans have passionately pursued the lost art of jewelry making
since our company was founded in 1980. Designing jewelry from gold, platinum, diamonds
and precious stones, our master jewelers create original jewelry in our shop. While still
rooted in the spirit of old world craftsmen, the equipment and techniques we use for mak-
ing jewelry have changed significantly since such times. Jewelry making procedures have
advanced more throughout the past three decades than any other time in history.

Market Survey
For market survey best place near Reliance Headquarters, Ghansoli was nothing but Vashi Inorbit
Mall because this mall has lots of jewelry showrooms. It was a one day visit to Vashi, Navi Mum-
bai on 07/02/2017.
1. Tanishq -
Tanishq has a eye catchy collection which was named as SHUBHAM Collection.
Basically it was a Temple jewelry collection. It was inspired from actual temple motifs & carved
patterns from Indian origin. It includes different postures of the god or goddesses. Also the birds
& animals like peacock, elephant etc. The necklaces were giving a heavy look to eyes as it has
actual 3D but hollow shapes were used.
Tanishq has a royal collection called as QUEEN OF HEARTS Collection, which was
inspired from queen’s tiaras or crowns. The synthetic stones like Rubi/emerald was the attaction
point.
Also the NILOFAR Collection was beautifully executed. It was inspired by Lotus.
Hence all of the jewlery pieces has reddish pink colored stones which was really matching to
Lotus color.
Then there was a exclusive collection of Designer Farah Khan & there were 5-6 pieces
and those pieces were much more expensive because it was designer piece.
2. ORRA -
Orra is the brand who deals with gold, platinum & diamond only. We seen few col-
lection like Infinity & binary collection. Price range was more than 50k & above.
3. Peora - All the categories in Peora was in sterling silver. Price range was average and afford-
able. Demands for rings, pendants was comparatively high than necklaces.
This survey has helped us throughout all the projects, we were taking inspiration in designs, we
were easily recognizing the jewelry categories after we were visited these showrooms.

- Dalai Lama
Yes, you don’t have to go to temple to worship your god. The prayers should reflect from your soul,
thinking or may be work. Hence the women who is going to wear the shivashmi collection set; she
should feel a holy, pure atmosphere around her. Because the collection has a Indian Hindu communi-
ty’s touch & a distinctive aura of the authentic jewelry should feel her proud.

Client / User Profile
This NPI project is targeting mainly women - age group from 18 to 45.
As the collection is having different varieties in terms of categories like Temple, Chandanhaar,
Rajkot, MST, Kalkatti as well as CZA diamond designs so it can wore on both occasional as well
as traditional or wedding functions.
AGE - 18-45
General estimation of particular design category is mainly depend upon geographic areas for
example -
Temple jewelry category sale always higher in south Indian states like Andhra Pradesh or Tamil-
nadu or Kerala.
This happens only because of the taste as well as the tradition of that particular region. So as per
the estimation more number of pieces will put in that region’s showroom.

This picture is taken at India’s most religious, holy place Varanasi. There
is a lot of dew which is making the scenario dull, the water has no waves
which is making it more calm & peaceful. Because of the yellow light we
can see what is happening in the picture. Hence this board is depicting the
jewlery which is not bright or fancy, colorful. It has a dull antique touch.

Cubic zirconia (CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium diox-
ide (ZrO2). The synthesized material is hard, optically flawless and usually
colorless, but may be made in a variety of different colors. It should not be
confused with zircon, which is a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4).
It is sometimes erroneously called "cubic zirconium".

To reduce metal covering almost 40-50% , here crystal glass is used along
with colored stones on upper portion & hence almost the weight of metal

SWOT Analysis
Weaknesses 1. Pan-India number of stores and visibility is less compared to other jew-
elry stores.
2. Lacks global presence, which can be a huge potential market segment.
Threats
1. Customer preferences change.
2.They buy the products from third party vendors, so new regulation and
fluctuation in gold prices can hamper the buying power.
