Shivam Jewels, a Surat-based diamond manufacturer, has been appointed a De Beers DTC Sightholder in March 2026, marking a rare addition to the list and strengthening India’s presence in primary rough supply.
Shivam Jewels, a Surat-based natural diamond manufacturer, has been selected as a Sightholder by the Diamond Trading Company (DTC), part of the De Beers Group, in March 2026. The appointment marks a significant development in the global diamond supply chain, as new sightholders have been added only selectively in recent years.
Over the years, Shivam Jewels has built an export-driven manufacturing business rooted in precision, consistency, and long-term industry trust. Established in 1995, the company has developed strengths across precision-cut natural diamonds, with growing recognition for its fancy-shape capabilities, light-performance focus, and ability to respond to evolving global demand through technology, process efficiency, and manufacturing discipline. Its inclusion in the DTC sightholder list reflects its scale, compliance standards, and manufacturing capabilities, aligning with De Beers’ requirements for transparency, ethical sourcing, and operational reliability.
The DTC Sightholder status provides companies with direct access to rough diamond supply from De Beers through its scheduled sales, known as “sights”. This system ensures consistent allocation of rough diamonds, enabling manufacturers to plan production cycles more efficiently compared to sourcing through secondary markets. For Shivam Jewels, the transition to direct sourcing is expected to strengthen supply consistency, improve planning efficiency, and support more streamlined operations across its manufacturing cycle.
At a time when market dynamics are increasingly complex and supply conditions remain volatile, this recognition further strengthens Shivam Jewels’ ability to anticipate shifting demand patterns, maintain consistency across production, and reinforce its long-term position as a reliable partner within the global diamond ecosystem.
The company’s manufacturing approach, combining traditional craftsmanship with ongoing investments in training and technology, has enabled it to respond to evolving global demand for differentiated diamond cuts. Its offering spans rounds, classic and reimagined fancy shapes, matched pairs, side stones, and layout-driven solutions. Its ability to scale operations while maintaining quality standards has supported its expansion across international markets.
From an industry perspective, the development reinforces India’s role in the global diamond manufacturing ecosystem. Surat continues to account for a dominant share of the world’s diamond cutting and polishing, and the addition of Shivam Jewels to the DTC sightholder roster highlights the country’s growing integration into upstream supply channels.
The move also indicates a cautious recalibration of De Beers’ sightholder base, pointing to renewed engagement with established manufacturers that meet evolving compliance and sourcing benchmarks.
