Firefly Diamonds raises $3 Mn in seed round led by WestBridge Capital Indian lab-grown diamond jewellery brand Firefly Diamonds has raised $3 million in its seed round led by WestBridge Capital. The proceeds will be used to accelerate the brand’s retail expansion, and its digital presence, and fuel R&D for new and distinctive jewellery collections. Co-founded by Adit and Aayush Bhansali, Firefly utilizes advanced technology to create lab-grown diamonds which offer the same physical, optical, and chemical characteristics as mined diamonds, but their production has a dramatically lower impact on the environment. It offers fine jewellery set in 14K and 18K gold. The brand has stores across 4 cities currently - Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad with a plan to expand to over 20 locations within the following two years. In the lab-grown diamond space, Firefly Diamonds will compete with a clutch of firms including COLUXE, Fiona Diamonds, Limelight Lab Grown Diamonds, and Jewelbox. Aditya Birla-backed GIVA also offers a lab-grown diamond jewellery line.
