Navaras ”Jewellery for all emotions and occasions”
Navaras, a fine 22 carat pure gold and diamond jewellery brand, retailed
from Big Bazaar stores, offers nine unique rational benefits to the consumer namely –
BIS Hallmark jewellery, free cleaning and polishing, insurance cover against theft
and burglary, transparent making charges, a buyback if unsatisfied, 0% weight loss if
jewellery is exchanged, diamond certification, free karatmeter check and a range of
designs.
The Navaras product range and store look is in keeping with the needs
of contemporary women. It is emotions and occasions that lead women to buy
jewellery, they buy jewellery to express emotions like pyaar (love), during occasions
like tyohaar (festivals) and as uphaar (gifts). Navaras jewellery has been
conceptualised with this thought - jewellery for all emotions and occasions.
Future Group has revolutionized the Indian jewellery market with the
launch of Navaras, which offers branded, pure and design differentiated jewellery at
competitive prices in a hypermarket set-up in line with the evolving buying behaviour
of consumers. The rationale behind this is that with higher disposable incomes, for
consumers today gold and other jewellery purchases too have become impulsive
buying activities. Hence, Navaras within Big Bazaar.
But, certain criteria still remain constant like carat, price, trust and
purity – all strong deciding factors while purchasing jewellery. Thus, the format’s
brand positioning and offerings have been tailored to suit the modern day consumer.
Navaras offers a complete fine jewellery shopping experience, despite

being within the confines of a hyper market. This is ensured by the segregation of the
Navaras section via glazed glass walls to provide a comfortable and secluded

ambience. The sit-down arrangement, as opposed to stand alone counters, further
ensures that shoppers try out the Navaras products in a peaceful and comfortable
environment before they make their final shopping decision.
