A new chairman, new backing, and a new high-end flagship London store to open, jewellery brand The Diamond Lab is living up to its status as a fast-growing start-up.
The Diamond Lab, which sells collections of rings and bracelets using lab-grown diamonds in India, has appointed David Duncan-Smith, former managing director of Prada UK and Louis Vuitton UK, as its non-executive chairman.
He joins as the business secures £450,000 in first-round Series A private financing, led by real estate and early-stage business investor James Shulman.
And it coincides with news of a new 4,290 sq ft store opening on London’s Bond Street before the end of the year.
Duncan-Smith said of his new appointment: “I am delighted to be bringing my 30 years luxury retail experience to advising and helping Jamie and the team in building an important new brand on the world stage.”
The business was only launched by Jamie Amelia Patel in May with a concession in Selfridges department store. She is a former consultant to fine jewellery and watch brands and started the business using her own savings and backing from existing clients and friends.
Fast-forward to now and Patel is predicting £3.8 million in sales during its first 12 months through international e-commerce, the new London flagship store, and several brand partnerships due to be announced in the coming months.
Patel added: "The Diamond Lab is shaking up the traditional norms of the luxury industry by deeply understanding the demands of upcoming luxury consumers. We aim to cultivate a space that encourages significant dialogues on earth-kind diamonds and the future of eco-luxury.”
