Titan's beYon sells design, not price, as lab-grown diamond prices fall
Our read
Titan will more likely than not keep beYon a design-led, metro-focused brand that grows store by store rather than chasing the falling lab-grown price curve.
For operators
Titan's beYon is competing on design rather than price, testing coloured stones, cuts and silver, vermeil and gold designs, so lab-grown jewellery retailers should differentiate on design instead of matching falling stone prices.
Watch
beYon store count past the ~12 open at 10 months, by the next results, would mean Titan is scaling the format and metro mall landlords gain a new tenant.

Titan's beYon lab-grown diamond jewellery brand had around 12 stores as of October, about 10 months after launch. Titan is testing coloured stones, cuts and silver, vermeil and gold designs rather than pitching on price, while expanding cautiously in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru.

Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Titan is likely to add beYon stores first in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, and to hold off on smaller cities until the early stores prove out.
- Expect Titan to keep rotating beYon's range across coloured stones, cuts and silver, vermeil and gold, then back the best sellers.
- Rival jewellers and lab-grown specialists may answer with lower-priced lab-grown ranges, which would test whether design can hold a premium.
- Titan is likely to keep beYon separate from Tanishq in branding and store format to avoid diluting its natural-diamond business.
- Customers in the metros are likely to treat beYon as a fashion purchase, which would favour repeat buying of lower-ticket designs over single large buys.
