VBJ Since 1900 (Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers), India’s most trusted heirloom jewellery brand proudly powered the 8th edition of the D2D Chennai Marathon 2025, held recently — a purpose-driven initiative that went beyond partnership to become a heartfelt celebration of endurance, compassion, and community. Conceptualised by Neville J Bilimoria, the marathon aimed to raise funds for underprivileged children, supporting their education and healthcare needs, while also extending aid to the Cancer Institute (WIA) for the treatment and care of cancer patients.

The 8th edition of D2D witnessed remarkable participation, with nearly 3,500 runners and cyclists taking part across three categories – adult runs, kids’ run and cycling. Registrations were conducted online through a simple, user-friendly platform with a nominal entry fee, making it inclusive and accessible to participants across age groups.

Speaking about the association, Jithendra Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, said, “At VBJ, endurance is not just about lasting through time – it’s about evolving with purpose. The D2D Marathon mirrors that same spirit: pushing boundaries, instilling hope, and creating meaningful change. What made this edition special was the sense of belonging – a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a genuine bond with Neville and the D2D family.”

Adding to this, Amarendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, shared, “For 125 years, VBJ has stood for trust, craftsmanship, and compassion – values that go far beyond adornment. Powering D2D allowed us to take those values beyond our stores and into the community, creating real impact. It was inspiring to see Chennai come together in the true spirit of giving and togetherness.”

Neville J Bilimoria, Founder of D2D Marathon, expressed, “VBJ has been more than a partner – they have been part of the D2D journey since inception! Our association added depth, warmth, and legacy to this 8th edition. It’s rare to find a brand that aligns so deeply with our vision – where empathy, and excellence come together for a greater cause.”

Honouring its legacy as the creator of the historic Sengol – rediscovered after 72 years and now enshrined in India’s new Parliament beside the Speaker’s chair – VBJ continues to uphold its values of tradition, craftsmanship and legacy. With plans to expand across Tamil Nadu and the USA, VBJ Since 1900 remains rooted in purpose and community. The D2D Chennai Marathon 2025 reflected this very essence: a shared journey of resilience and purpose, blending heritage with humanity in the truest sense.

Harit Zaveri Jewellers Celebrates A Bride’s Royal Spirit In An Indian Wedding With Its New Polki Collection

A Celebration Of Regal Femininity, Heirloom Craftsmanship, and The Refreshing Depth Of Emeralds.

Published

on

June 2026 A bride’s jewellery is never merely ornamental, it carries sentiment, memory, and the quiet power of tradition. With its newest Polki Collection, Harit Zaveri Jewellers introduces a refined take on royal Indian bridal jewellery, thoughtfully designed for the modern bride who embraces heritage while expressing her individuality with confidence and grace.

Crafted between 18kt to 14kt gold and enriched by Emeralds, Harit Zaveri Jewellers Polki collection celebrates a bride in her most transformative moment – poised between reflection and becoming. Every jewellery piece in the collection is designed to accompany her through this pause.

At the heart of the collection lies the richness of polki craftsmanship – raw, uncut diamonds admired for their old-world charm and regal appeal, long associated with royal Indian heirlooms. Paired with vivid emeralds, known to symbolise renewal, harmony, love, and abundance, the collection brings together heritage and elegance. The richness of green emeralds adds depth and freshness, creating jewels that feel both classic and strikingly modern.

The collection features an expansive range of statement and versatile pieces including necklaces, kadas, rings, earrings, and bridal sets, thoughtfully embellished with emeralds, pearls, and polki detailing.

This collection from Harit Zaveri Jewellers compliments classic reds and heritage weaves to contemporary ivories, pastels, and couture silhouettes. Whether layered with a traditional lehenga, paired with a modern sari drape, or styled for intimate pre-wedding celebrations, these pieces seamlessly adapt while elevating every bridal look with a quiet majesty.

These pieces are envisioned as modern heirlooms, where meticulous craftsmanship, precious materials, and timeless artistry come together to create pieces worthy of being passed down through generations.

Harit Zaveri, Joint Managing Director at Harit Zaveri Jewellers said:

“At Harit Zaveri Jewellers, we have always believed bridal jewellery should feel personal, something that reflects a bride’s story and individuality. Many of our clients naturally gravitate towards one-of-a-kind pieces that resonate with their personality and become part of their memories for years to come. With this Polki collection, we wanted to celebrate craftsmanship with the richness of emeralds, a stone that beautifully complements a variety of bridal colours and effortlessly completes a look. Above all, quality remains at the heart of everything we create because we believe jewellery should feel as enduring as the memories and moments attached to it.”
