dangerous to step out of their houses in order to go to a store and get a custom made jewellery in
accordance with their preference. There are many big brands like Amazon who are still
providing doorstep delivery of premium quality jewellery. But no company gives customer the
power to customise their own jewellery. For example, if an individual comes across a jewellery
that they like, but they want a ruby instead of the diamond in that particular commodity, they
have to purchase the jewellery and get it customised which makes the overall price of the
jewellery even higher. Smart jewel solve this problem by giving customers the power to

jewellery in accordance to their own preferences. There are retail stores that are digital in
