Jaipur, India--Indian Jeweller magazine awarded Kisna Diamond Jewellery, the flagship brand of Hari Krishna Exports, as the jewelry brand of the year in its Jewellers Choice Design Awards.

It was announced at a gala ceremony held at the Marriott Hotel in Jaipur, India on Dec. 20.

Hari Krishna, a diamond jewelry manufacturer and supplier, was one of more than 70 companies to participate in the awards. More than 1,000 retailers across the country voted on an online platform for the winners.

“For the last three years the Indian Jeweller magazine has been making an incessant effort to promote the Indian jewelers and the jewelry brands not only to India but to the world at large. We appreciate their efforts. We are both happy and proud that Kisna has received the Jewellery Brand of the Year award,” said Ghanshyam Dholakia, managing director of Hari Krishna Exports.

“The credit of this award goes to the entire team of Kisna, including the employees, distributors, retailers, brand consultants and the top management, as well as the stakeholders.”

Launched in 2005, Kisna is the flagship brand of Hari Krishna Exports. It is now the largest distributed diamond brand in the domestic Indian market, available in more than 6,000 retailers through 450 distributors, according to the company.
