LUCIRA JEWELRY
Enterprise SEO & Performance Marketing Case Study: Scaling Lucira Jewelry to 1M+ Monthly Users
01 THE BriefLucira arrived at BRAD TECHNOLOGY | BRAD oneGROUP with a clear aworkstreamus mandate: to launch India's most design-forward lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, with Mumbai as its flagship market and national reach as its growth horizon. Founded by Rupesh Jain, the entrepreneur behind Candere and its acquisition by Kalyan Jewellers, Lucira carried serious industry pedigree and a product vision ahead of the broader market. What it needed was a digital foundation capable of matching that ambition.The brief extended well beyond website delivery. It called for a complete digital ecosystem: a feature-rich Shopify platform that could support a complex, multi-category jewellery catalogue, a seamless omnichannel experience across online and physical retail, and an organic search presence that could compete with category incumbents from launch day. BRAD oneGROUP approached the engagement as a single, integrated workstream where design, development, SEO architecture, and AEO infrastructure were built together, not handed off in sequence.
01 CHALLENGES
Launching a premium jewellery brand without an established domain, in an emerging product category, in one of India's most FASTEST & competitive consumer markets, presented a set of challenges that demanded precision from the very first line of code.
KEY GAPSNo Digital History to Build On. Lucira had no prior domain authority, no indexed content, and no organic footprint. Every position in search would need to be earned on merit alone, competing against jewellers with years of accumulated authority, backlinks, and brand recognition. The technical quality of the Shopify build was not a nice-to-have. It was the single most important factor in determining how quickly organic growth could be activated. A Complex Product Catalogue Requiring Intelligent Architecture. The Lucira range spans rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, mangalsutras, nose pins, solitaires, and bespoke categories, each filterable by shape, metal, price, style, and occasion. Organising this into a site structure that was simultaneously intuitive for shoppers, crawlable for search engines, and scalable as the catalogue grew required serious architectural thinking from the outset. An Emerging Category That Demands Education Before Conversion. Lab-grown diamonds remain a relatively new concept for a significant share of India's premium jewellery buyer. Content could not simply catalogue and sell. It needed to inform, reassure, and shift perception before a purchase would even be considered. This reality shaped every content, structural, and editorial decision made during the build and beyond. Mumbai as a Competitive, High-Stakes Primary Market. Mumbai's premium jewellery buyer is among the most researched and discerning in the country. Ranking for Mumbai-specific, high-intent search queries required geo-targeted content and local search infrastructure built into the architecture from the start, not added later when rankings failed to appear.
04 SOLUTIONSA Shopify Platform Engineered for Search From the First CommitBRAD TECHNOLOGY | BRAD oneGROUP built the Lucira Shopify store with organic performance as a primary design requirement alongside commerce functionality and user experience. Every architectural decision, from URL structure to page template design, was made with search visibility in mind.Clean, crawlable site architecture was established at the foundation: logical, keyword-informed URL structures across all category and collection pages, a clear page hierarchy that communicates topical authority to search engines, internal linking frameworks designed to distribute domain authority efficiently as the catalogue scaled, and canonical tag implementation to prevent indexation issues across the site's many filter-generated URLs. Page speed and Core Web Vitals performance were treated as development requirements from the outset, not post-launch optimisation tasks. The result was a fast, mobile-first Shopify experience built for India's mobile-primary internet users and aligned to Google's performance-weighted ranking signals. Schema markup and structured data were implemented natively across product pages, category pages, FAQ sections, and local business listings, enabling rich SERP results and positioning Lucira's content as eligible for AI-generated overviews and featured snippet placements from its first days of indexation. Intelligent Navigation Architecture Supporting Both UX and SEOThe Lucira site navigation was built to serve two audiences simultaneously: shoppers exploring an extensive catalogue and search engines mapping the site's topical depth and breadth. The result is a multi-dimensional discovery system that allows buyers to filter by style, shape, metal, price range, and occasion, generating dedicated, optimised collection pages at every node rather than relying on a flat, generic catalogue.Ring collections are navigable by style including engagement, solitaire, eternity, stackable, casual, and men's; by shape across cushion, emerald, pear, marquise, heart, round, oval, princess, and special cuts; by metal in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold; and by price in granular brackets from under ₹25,000 to above ₹1 lakh. This architecture gives Lucira indexable, search-relevant destination pages for queries at every level of buyer specificity, from broad category searches to highly intent-specific queries, without duplicating content or diluting topical authority. Content Built for Buyers and Search Engines EquallyRecognising that Lucira operated in a category where buyer education was a prerequisite to conversion, a structured content programme was developed and embedded into the platform from the start. The Lucira Jewelry Guide section of the site houses dedicated educational resources covering diamond education, metal education, diamond shapes, ring shank guides, LGD versus mined diamond comparisons, jewellery care tips, a size guide, and a how-to-wear resource. Each piece was structured to answer real buyer questions, target informational search queries, and build the brand authority needed to convert a category-new buyer into a confident purchaser.The editorial blog programme was developed in parallel, covering buying guides, certification explainers including how to read an IGI certificate, jewellery trend reports, hoop earring style guides, and diamond type education. Each piece was formatted for featured snippet eligibility and built with structured FAQ schema to surface in AI-generated answer results. Product certification, IGI grading visibility, and ethical sourcing credentials were embedded directly into the commerce experience at product level, ensuring that trust signals were present at the precise moments they influence purchase decisions. Geo-Targeted Strategy | Mumbai Leading, India FollowingWith the technical and content foundation in place, a full geo-targeted visibility strategy was executed with Mumbai as the primary search market. Lucira's first physical experience store opened in Mumbai in October 2025, making local search performance directly tied to retail footfall and commercial outcomes. Local search optimisation, Google Business Profile configuration, and Mumbai-level SERP feature targeting were treated as launch-critical deliverables, not optional enhancements.Dedicated geo-targeted landing pages were developed and built into the Shopify architecture for Mumbai, with the Pune experience store receiving its own fully optimised local page including neighbourhood-level store context, local buyer testimonials, and region-specific content addressing Maharashtra's bridal jewellery traditions and gifting culture. A national framework extending across Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and other key metros was structured to scale alongside the brand's planned retail expansion across India through FY2026. Omnichannel Experience Features Embedded in the BuildBeyond search and content, the Shopify platform was built to support Lucira's omnichannel retail model with a suite of features designed to reduce buyer friction and increase conversion across both digital and in-person touchpoints. A video call consultation service was built into the platform, allowing buyers to explore and shop jewellery live with Lucira's in-house experts, a differentiating feature for high-consideration purchase moments. WhatsApp integration was implemented as a persistent, session-aware contact touchpoint, connecting buyers directly to product specialists at any point in their browsing journey. A store locator with experience store mapping, a Vault of Dreams jewellery savings scheme, and a loyalty rewards programme were all integrated within the Shopify environment, creating a retention and engagement layer beyond the initial purchase. Trust Architecture Supporting High-Value ConversionEvery high-consideration purchase requires a corresponding level of trust infrastructure. Lucira's Shopify platform was built with conversion credibility embedded at each stage of the buyer journey. The Lucira Promise, covering certified jewellery, a 15-day money-back guarantee, 100% lifetime exchange, and dedicated customer support, was positioned prominently across the site experience. A media and press features section showcases coverage across Economic Times, Inc42, Entrepreneur India, BW Disrupt, and Business of Fashion, establishing third-party credibility at the brand level. A spin-to-win registration mechanic with diamond pendant prizes was implemented to capture early-stage leads while building the brand's owned audience from launch.
