“Madurai has a rich appreciation for jewellery, and we are delighted to bring our signature collections closer to customers in the city. As a brand with a legacy spanning generations, our journey has always been rooted in preserving the heritage while evolving with the tastes of today’s customers.

Further strengthening its regional presence, VBJ is set to open its all-new showroom on Coimbatore’s 100ft Road soon, reaffirming the brand’s long-term commitment to serving customers across Tamil Nadu with personalised experiences and exceptional craftsmanship.
