ANOR, a trend setter in the premium lab grown diamond and gemstone jewellery, is redefining the language of modern luxury for India’s most discerning collectors. WIth a deep focus on design, ANOR has elevated the lab grown diamond jewellery category from accessible to aspirational bringing rare artistry, innovation, and emotion into every creation.
Founded by Bina Choksi, a visionary self taught designer from a fourth-generation diamantaire family, ANOR is rooted in over 75 years of heritage and craftsmanship. Bina’s design philosophy blends architectural precision with soulful storytelling crafting pieces that transcend trends and speak to personal milestones. Her quiet elegance and pursuit of perfection have shaped ANOR into a brand that stands for refined indulgence and meaning.


From one-of-a-kind statement pieces to intimate gifting collections, ANOR’s designs celebrate the grandeur of life’s rarest moments, engagements, weddings, and timeless keepsakes. Each creation is hand-finished to perfection using lab grown diamonds and gemstones, reflecting ANOR’s belief that the future of luxury lies in design innovation and experience.

“Our clients come to ANOR not just for jewellery, but for an experience,” says Bina Choksi. “They appreciate craftsmanship that’s personal, understated, and deeply meaningful pieces that carry emotion as much as brilliance.”
