Celebrities are no longer confined to brand endorsements when it comes to jewellery. Instead, celebrities are increasingly moving beyond wearing jewellery on red carpets and into creating the pieces themselves. From actors and producers to fashion personalities, famous faces are turning personal style into profitable businesses, tapping into a growing appetite for designer-led luxury.
Recently, producer and entrepreneur Ekta Kapoor ventured into luxury jewellery with Ekatra Jewels, while actor and entrepreneur Preity Zinta launched Jacarti. These are the latest Bollywood personalities to enter the fine jewellery space, one through a strategic investment and the other through the launch of her own luxury jewellery brand.
This shift underscores a broader trend in luxury, where celebrities are moving beyond endorsements and taking ownership stakes in brands that align with evolving consumer aspirations.

The purchasing habits of consumers have also changed over time. Consumers are no longer just buying a necklace or a ring; they are buying into a story, a lifestyle and a sense of proximity to celebrity culture. As India’s luxury market expands and younger buyers seek emotional connections with brands, celebrity-owned jewellery labels are emerging as some of the most compelling names in contemporary luxury retail.
The New Faces of India’s Celebrity Jewellery Boom
Celebrities bring built-in audiences, cultural influence and aspirational lifestyles that help brands cut through an increasingly crowded luxury market. Here are a few celebrities who have successfully carved a niche for themselves in the jewellery business.
House of Masaba Jewellery, Masaba Gupta
An extension of Masaba Gupta’s distinctive design language, House of Masaba Fine Jewellery translates the brand’s playful motifs and contemporary Indian aesthetic into precious jewellery. Featuring diamonds, gemstones and gold, the collections reflect Masaba’s signature blend of maximalism, storytelling and modern luxury.
Farah Khan Fine Jewellery, Farah Khan Ali
One of India’s most established celebrity jewellers, Farah Khan Ali has built a luxury jewellery brand known for intricate craftsmanship, exceptional gemstones and bespoke creations. Her designs combine global sophistication with Indian artistry, attracting collectors, celebrities and high-net-worth clients for over two decades.
Tyaani, Karan Johar
Founded in partnership with the jewellery entrepreneur Shravan Satyani, Tyaani by Karan Johar reimagines traditional polki jewellery for contemporary lifestyles. Crafted in 22-karat gold with natural uncut diamonds, the brand focuses on lightweight, wearable designs that bring heritage craftsmanship beyond weddings into everyday luxury.
Neelam Jewels, Neelam Kothari
Actor-turned-entrepreneur Neelam Kothari has successfully transitioned her lifelong passion for gemstones into a luxury jewellery business. Known for exquisite diamond, emerald and ruby creations, Neelam Kothari Fine Jewels caters to discerning clients seeking timeless elegance, exceptional craftsmanship and high-jewellery exclusivity.
More Than a Celebrity Side Hustle
For many celebrities, jewellery also offers a natural extension of personal style. Unlike fashion collections that require seasonal reinvention, jewellery allows founders to create timeless products that retain relevance beyond trends. Social media further accelerates this model, enabling celebrity entrepreneurs to market directly to followers who already admire their aesthetic choices.
As India’s luxury consumer base becomes younger and more digitally engaged, celebrity-founded jewellery labels are likely to become an increasingly influential segment of the market. What began as a branding exercise is evolving into a serious business opportunity, proving that in luxury today, influence can be just as valuable as gold.
