The decision to unveil this program in India was partly influenced by the countrys burgeoning jewellery market, considered amongst the fastest growing and most promising globally, poised for a double digit growth over the next few years. Furthermore, a recent market research commissioned by FURA Gems underscores the strong demand in India for coloured gemstone jewellery, with 70% of jewellery buyers expressing their intention to acquire at least one item featuring coloured gemstones within the next two years.

The launch is further reinforced by an impactful campaign that takes a digital route to the market through an impressive film featuring Saiyami Kher. The campaign positions pink sapphires as the contemporary symbol of love for women who recognise their first relationship is with themselves, thus laying a foundation and magical impact on all relationships. The film’s narrative builds on the idea of love beginning with ‘self‘ and extending to ‘all‘, making ‘love‘ an everyday celebration. The campaign resonates with the modern womans nuanced understanding of love. The launch of the pink sapphire collection, perfectly timed with the season of celebrating love, offers a fresh avenue for self-expression.
Shetty emphasized the companys commitment to quality and innovation, stating, “We have partnered with eight leading Indian manufacturers to create contemporary pink sapphire jewellery designs tailored for the modern woman. Through our Mine-to-Market program, we ensure complete traceability, offering consumers trust and confidence in their purchase.”
Notably, FURAs pink sapphires are distinguished by their unique fluorescence, which enhances their colour vibrancy. “Our Mozambique mines have consistently produced high-quality Rubies and Pink Sapphires, characterized by a unique glow that makes them highly desirable for jewellery brands across the globe. Geological studies confirm that these mines offer guaranteed production for the next 50 years, representing a uniquely valuable asset for the company,” explained Shetty.
The mine-to-market program developed by FURA will provide full marketing support to its partners, starting from key market intelligence to above-the-line advertising, PR, robust digital marketing, and below-the-line marketing including in-store support (training and display materials).
