India’s largest jewellery retailer, Titan Company, is set to enter the fast-growing but still niche lab-grown diamond (LGD) jewellery segment, marking a shift from its long-held focus on natural diamonds. The Tata Group company will launch a new brand, beYon – from the House of Titan, with its first exclusive retail store opening in Mumbai on December 29.
