Weaknesses
Volatility in prices and availability of gold, diamonds and precious metals can affect jewellery demand, inventory values and working capital requirements.

High working-capital requirements, as the B2B jewellery manufacturing model requires substantial funds to support inventory and receivables.
Low contribution from lab-grown diamond jewellery, despite having manufacturing capabilities for the segment.
Limited protection for jewellery designs, as the company does not register its designs under the Designs Act, 2000, increasing the risk of imitation by competitors.
