Madhuri Dixit inaugurates 20000* sqft jewellery shopping destination for PNG Jewellers at Laxmi Road, Pune
Retail expansion in jewellery aligns with the consumer response in any given market. Phenomenal popularity and product demand call for unprecedented expansion, and one such instance was exhibited by PN Gadgil Jewellers, widely known for its commitment towards excellence across a legacy of 193 years of business and counting, with the launch of a new store besides renovation of its flagship showroom, both at Laxmi Road in Pune, on 23 March, 2025.
Catering to rising demand across all categories of gold, diamond, platinum, and colour gemstone jewellery in the Pune market, the two stores were jointly inaugurated by Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit in the presence of Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing Director of PNG Jewellers; Mr. Parag Gadgil, and members of the PNG Jewellers family. The combined area of the two large-format stores now reach a staggering 20,000 sq. ft.*
Dr. Saurabh Gadgil, Chairman and Managing director of PNG Jewellers said, “Pune holds a special place in our hearts, as it is where our flagship store continues to stand as an example to our heritage and trust. Now, the brand has a total of 53 stores across the world. As we strive to strengthen our retail network further, this expansion brings us closer to our patrons, ensuring they have convenient access to the finest jewellery, steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. We look forward to serving the people of Pune with the same commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and trust.”
Ushering in a completely modern in-store experience while respecting Maharashtrian tradition, the renovated flagship showroom has been redesigned akin to heritage Wada courtyard houses intrinsic to the state. Exclusively retailing in gold jewellery of Kalkatti, temple, antique, and kundan designs, the flagship showroom specialises in bridal jewellery along with a dedicated wedding lounge replete with private make-up stations to give the brides-to-be the attention they deserve. The new 2-storey showroom, on the other hand, stands tall as a hub of the studded categories including diamond, platinum, uncut, polki, and precious colour gemstone jewellery. The expansion has now diversified the product range of PNG Jewellers by an impressive 30-40%, thus giving buyers across all categories better options for an immersive and satisfying shopping experience.
Commenting on the continuing legacy of the brand, ambassador and Bollywood superstar Madhuri Dixit said, “It is a privilege to be a part of this historic event with PNG Jewellers, a company known for its excellence and tradition. Their commitment to preserving tradition while embracing modern designs truly sets PNG Jewellers apart. PNG has always stood for trust, tradition, and timeless craftsmanship.”
The new store of PNG Jewellers is located 500 meters away from their flagship store, and has rolled out exclusive offers such as 0% deduction on old gold exchange, up to 40% off on gold jewellery-making charges, and up to 100% off on diamond jewellery-making charges respectively to celebrate the grand inauguration.

Mahesh Notandass Jewellers & Vandals Join Sotheby’s and Somya Khurana For An Evening Of Mindful Living and Exceptional Diamonds In The Swiss Alps
An Exclusive Alpine Gathering Brings Together Mindful Living, Conscious Reflection and Extraordinary Jewellery Artistry, Featuring A Spectacular Emerald and Diamond Glove and A Statement Scarf Adorned With Hundreds Of Natural Emeralds and Diamonds
Sotheby’s Switzerland, wellness curator Somya Khurana, Mahesh Notandass Jewellers and Vandals come together this season for a one-of-a-kind evening that pairs conscious living with uncompromising craftsmanship. This is an evening of mindful reflection, followed by an exclusive presentation of Mahesh Notandass & Vandals’ most extraordinary jewellery, including a glove made of emeralds and diamonds.
Hosted against the calming backdrop of the Col de la Croix mountain pass, the gathering will unfold at the storied Chalet Roy Alps Domaine de Rochegrosse, in the alpine resort town of Villars-sur-Ollon, a setting chosen deliberately for its stillness, its altitude, and its distance from the noise of the everyday. The evening begins with a curated wellbeing experience helmed by Somya Khurana, centred on mindfulness and conscious reflection, an invitation for guests to arrive fully present before the evening centrepiece is revealed.
For over a century, Mahesh Notandass Diamond Jewellers has been synonymous with rare stones, master craftsmanship and design that transcends trend; jewellery built not merely to be worn, but to be inherited. This exclusive presentation will showcase an edit of Mahesh Notandas and Vandals’ finest creations, offering guests a rare, private encounter with pieces that represent the pinnacle of the house’s artistry: exceptional precious stones set with the precision that has defined the Notandass name across generations.
Among the highlights of the evening are two exceptional jewellery artworks, a sculptural emerald and diamond glove featuring over 600 emeralds, and an intricately crafted scarf adorned with more than 300 natural emeralds and over 1,300 diamonds. Conceived as works of wearable art, both pieces reflect the house’s pursuit of scale, craftsmanship and extraordinary use of precious stones, blurring the line between jewellery and collectible art.
Hosted in partnership with Sotheby’s Switzerland, the evening reflects a shared philosophy across all three collaborators that true luxury is not loud. It is considered and felt before it is seen. Bringing together mindful living and fine craftsmanship in one setting, the evening positions House of Notandass at the intersection of substance and sophistication, in a location as rarefied as the jewels themselves.
