CHENNAI, India, April 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Jos Alukkas, leading jewellery retail chain in South India has announced their massive global expansion plan to launch 100 new showrooms at an investment of Rs. 5500 crores.

Jos Alukkas is one of the pioneers in the jewellery industry having established his jewellery house nearly 60 years ago, in Thrissur, the gold capital of Kerala.

Born to gold

In the era where ornaments were bought from goldsmiths who made jewellery against orders, one man thought differently, and revolutionised gold retailing in India. His name, Jos Alukka. He opened showrooms that offered ready to wear jewellery in thousands of designs in hundreds of kilograms of gold. So vast were his choices that the Jos Alukkas showrooms came to be known as Gold Supermarkets.

The revolutionary in Jos Alukka was always there. When Jos Alukka opened shop in UAE, the first from Kerala to do so, he discovered certified 916 stamped gold. The consumer benefit of it impressed him so much that he became perhaps the first Indian jeweller to offer gold jewellery certified with the 916 stamp, thereby raising standards to international levels in South India.

He campaigned for the Govt when it made BIS 916 mandatory and now has gladly embraced the HUID certification.

Today designs in gold, diamonds, platinum and silver are enhanced by DG Gold, a digital gold buying platform.

Purity that gave courage

This gave customers immense courage to invest heavily in gold as they were confident that their Jos Alukka's jewellery was worth its weight in gold.
