Platinum Jewellery Sparkles as the Modern Choice for Akshaya Tritiya
Symbolising purity, strength, and timeless elegance, platinum emerges as a popular pick for celebrating prosperity and new beginnings this festive season.
As India prepares to celebrate Akshaya Tritiya on April 30, a festival known for ushering in prosperity and fresh starts, many are turning to platinum jewellery to mark the occasion with meaning and style.
Traditionally seen as a time to invest in gold and other symbols of wealth, Akshaya Tritiya is now witnessing a shift as contemporary consumers seek out choices that reflect both heritage and modern values. Platinum — with its naturally white sheen, 95% purity, and resistance to tarnish — is being embraced as a powerful emblem of enduring wealth and spiritual purity.
Reflecting the timeless essence of the festival, platinum jewellery is available in a variety of collections designed to resonate with today’s lifestyle. Women can explore graceful, modern designs through Platinum Evara, men can find strength and character in Men of Platinum, and couples can celebrate their bond with Platinum Love Bands, crafted to honour life’s significant milestones.
Each piece bears the hallmark “Pt 950,” certifying its high purity and enduring value. As a metal that stands the test of time, platinum offers more than just visual appeal — it embodies the lasting emotional and material richness that Akshaya Tritiya represents.
With its blend of tradition and innovation, platinum jewellery continues to shine as a meaningful and lasting way to celebrate this auspicious day — a gift of love, resilience, and prosperity to treasure for generations.

VBJ Offers Festive Discounts Across Jewellery Categories, Old Gold Exchange Benefits and Bank Card Savings
VBJ, Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers, India’s most trusted heirloom jewellery brand, has announced its Divine Diwali offer, running until 8th November 2026. The festive campaign brings a range of benefits across gold, diamond, platinum and precious stone jewellery, along with silverware, offering customers greater value as they prepare for the festive season.


Customers can avail 20% off on making charges and value addition (VA) on gold, diamond, platinum and precious stone jewellery and silverware. The campaign also includes 10% off on silver jewellery and Rs 125 extra per gram on exchange of old gold. In addition, customers can avail instant discounts of up to Rs 10,000 on purchases made using HDFC Bank credit cards. The offers are available across VBJ stores in Anna Salai and Anna Nagar, subject to applicable offer terms.
Commenting on the campaign, Amarendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, said:

“Diwali is a significant period for jewellery purchases. Through our Divine Diwali offer, we aim to provide added value across our collections for our customers. The campaign reflects our continued effort to make the festive shopping experience rewarding while offering a wide selection across all jewellery categories.”
Jithendra Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, added:
“Jewellery often carries meaning beyond the occasion for which it is purchased. It can become part of a family’s celebrations and traditions, passed down and worn across generations. At VBJ, our design approach draws on 126 years of experience, bringing together traditional influences, contemporary preferences and close attention to detail. As customers explore jewellery for Diwali, we remain focused on offering a range of designs and standards of workmanship that reflect our legacy while meeting the needs of today’s buyers.”

As a fifth-generation family-run brand, VBJ takes immense pride in its legacy as the creator of the historic Sengol (sceptre) – a sacred symbol of India’s democratic journey. Rediscovered after 72 years through meticulous research by the VBJ team, the Sengol was reinstated beside the Speaker’s chair in India’s new Parliament building, Sansad Bhavan, by Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking VBJ’s enduring bond with India’s cultural and national heritage. Continuing a legacy of trust and tradition spanning over 126 years, VBJ is now set to unveil its largest jewellery showroom on Coimbatore’s 100 Feet Road.

The Divine Diwali campaign builds on VBJ’s commitment to bringing together its heritage, design expertise and a broad selection of jewellery and silverware for customers during one of the year’s most important festive shopping periods.
