Online Jewelry NPS®- CaratLane, Blue Stones, Tanishq, and more

Survey fieldwork: 2019. A refreshed 2026 benchmark study is in progress.

Numr conducted a survey about online jewelry websites (like CaratLane and Blue Stone) and offline jewelry stores (such as Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers etc). Suffice to say, the survey revealed some interesting insights about the jewelry buying habits of affluent Indian urbanites. The Indian jewelry industry contributes to about 7% of the country’s GDF and is a mix of unorganized jewelers and brand retailers. At the time of the study, the $135 million online jewelry sector accounts for less than 1% of the total fine jewelry segment. However, it is growing rapidly.

*NPS® or Net Promoter Score is a metric for calculating customer satisfaction and loyalty. Moreover, it is a proven indicator of Growth. It is based off a single question, that is, “On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to recommend (a company or a service) to your friends, family or colleagues?” Customers who give a score of 6 or less are called Detractors. Those who give 7 or 8 are Passives where as those who give 9 or 10 are Promoters. Then, the NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the Promoters.
