Why Delhi’s Smartest Santa is Shopping at The Icelane This Christmas
Digital Desk
If you walk into a holiday party in Vasant Vihar or Greater Kailash this week, you might notice a pattern. The most talked-about gifts under the tree aren't coming from the crowded counters of Emporio or Khan Market. Instead, Delhi’s inner circle is quietly obsessing over a digital-first luxury house that has cracked the code on high-value gifting: The Icelane.
Founded by Hema Khatwani, The Icelane has rapidly evolved from a niche sustainable label into the "insider's secret" for Christmas 2025. The brand reports a massive surge in orders from the Capital, driven by a simple realization: savvy gifters know that a lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet from The Icelane offers double the carat weight of a mined version, for the same budget.

The "Hema Khatwani Effect"
In a market saturated with traditional jewelers, Khatwani’s vision was to strip away the intimidation of diamond buying.
"Christmas is about generosity, but it’s also about value," says Hema Khatwani, Founder & CEO of The Icelane. "We are seeing a huge shift in Delhi this season. Husbands and partners aren't just looking for 'a gift'; they are looking for a 'wow moment'. By switching to our lab-grown diamonds, they are upgrading from a modest pair of studs to significant, heirloom-quality solitaires that actually look like a grand gesture."
What’s Inside Delhi’s Stockings?
According to The Icelane’s shipping data, three specific trends are dominating the Delhi NCR gift circuit this December:
- The "Daily Tennis" Bracelet: No longer just for weddings, the 3-to-5 carat lab-grown diamond tennis bracelet has become the #1 "Push Gift" and Christmas surprise for young mothers in South Delhi.
- Solitaire Stud Upgrades: The classic diamond stud is seeing a size upgrade. The standard 0.5-carat gift has been replaced by 1.5-carat to 2-carat solitaire studs, a move made possible by The Icelane’s competitive pricing structure.
- The "Self-Love" Ring: Interestingly, a record number of women in Gurgaon and Noida are playing Santa to themselves, purchasing Emerald Cut solitaire rings as year-end bonuses.
Luxury Without the Line
For the Delhi consumer, who values exclusivity as much as quality, The Icelane offers a reprieve from the holiday traffic. There are no parking wars or pushy sales staff—just certified, premium stones delivered discreetly to the doorstep.
"I originally planned to buy a designer bag for my wife," admits a corporate executive from Defence Colony. "But for the same price, I got her a pair of 1-carat solitaire earrings from The Icelane. The box, the certification, the sparkle—it felt like a much more serious gift. She hasn’t taken them off since."
About The Icelane
Helmed by Hema Khatwani, The Icelane is challenging the old guard of the diamond industry. By utilizing cutting-edge technology to create conflict-free diamonds that are physically and chemically identical to mined stones, the brand is proving that the ultimate luxury is a clear conscience—and a better price tag.
