[Mumbai | May 11, 2025] – Nakshatra Stones, Global Turner’s luxury gemstone and jewelry division, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing one million customers worldwide, the company announced today at a glittering event in Mumbai’s JW Marriott. The achievement comes just three years after the brand’s relaunch under the Global Turner umbrella, representing 300% growth since 2021.
To commemorate this milestone and address growing concerns about gemstone authenticity in the luxury market, Nakshatra Stones unveiled its groundbreaking Gem DNA™ authentication system. This proprietary technology combines blockchain verification with advanced spectral analysis to create an unforgeable digital fingerprint for every gemstone sold.
“In an industry where authenticity is paramount, Gem DNA™ represents a quantum leap in consumer confidence,” declared Ms. Priya Rao, Head of Nakshatra Stones. “Each stone now comes with a digital passport that traces its journey from ethical mines to our customers’ hands, with immutable records stored on our blockchain platform.”
The Gem DNA™ system works through three innovative components:
-
Spectral Fingerprinting: Advanced scanners capture each gem’s unique light refraction pattern
-
Blockchain Certification: Every transaction and treatment is permanently recorded
-
AI Verification: Machine learning algorithms instantly detect inconsistencies
The technology rollout coincides with Nakshatra Stones’ aggressive retail expansion. The company revealed plans to open five flagship “Gem Experience Centers” in Dubai’s Gold Souk by 2025. These innovative stores will blend traditional jewelry craftsmanship with augmented reality technology, allowing customers to:
- Virtually try on pieces using AR mirrors
- View 3D holograms of gem formation processes
- Receive personalized astrological consultations
- See real-time blockchain verification of their purchases
Market response has been overwhelmingly positive. “Nakshatra Stones has redefined luxury retail by combining Vedic tradition with cutting-edge technology,” commented luxury retail analyst Vikram Joshi. “Their growth trajectory suggests they could capture 15% of India’s organized gemstone market within two years.”
The brand’s success stems from its unique positioning at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology. Each collection is designed with input from both master jewelers and astrological scholars, creating pieces that appeal to both luxury buyers and spiritual seekers.
Looking ahead, Nakshatra Stones plans to:
- Expand its ethical sourcing network to three new countries
- Launch a subscription service for personalized gem recommendations
- Introduce limited-edition collections tied to astronomical events
- Develop an NFT platform for digital ownership certificates
With India’s gemstone market projected to reach $60 billion by 2026, Nakshatra Stones is well-positioned to capitalize on growing demand for authenticated, ethically sourced luxury goods.
