 VBJ Since 1900 (Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers), India’s most trusted heirloom jewellery brand, unveiled AVATARA, a new design chapter shaped for the many roles women lead every day. Avatara ushers in a new dimension of elegance within VBJ’s heritage of legacy craftsmanship, celebrating a jewellery narrative where form and function move in constant reinvention. Each piece is a fluid journey of self-expression – one that can evolve, divide, reassemble and adapt, offering boundless possibilities within a single design.

For generations, fine jewellery in India has been anchored to ceremony, often worn for grand occasions and otherwise locked away as “locker jewellery.” Avatara introduces a clear shift in that behaviour. With Diyya Vummidi, daughter of the elder brother Jithendran Vummidi – an emerging leader and the mastermind behind this Symphony of TransformationAvatara reflects the way women choose jewellery today: guided by purpose, versatility, and the desire for pieces that move with them. From workday mornings and poojas at home to brunches, temple visits, club evenings, ceremonies and weddings, every piece is designed to be worn, re-worn and reinvented. Avatara whispers tradition yet speaks a distinctly personal, contemporary language that aligns with how women define presence and identity across multiple roles.

Speaking about the collection, Amarendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ Since 1900, said, Avatara comes from a place of quiet conviction. We wanted to create jewellery that feels honest in its form and relevant to the way women live today. The focus was on refining our design language so that each piece carries a sense of ease and still reflects the depth of our heritage. Avatara represents our belief that elegance does not need to be reserved for select moments. It can be part of a woman’s everyday life when the craft is thoughtful, and the intent is clear.”

Reflecting on the showcase, Jithendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ Since 1900, shared, “Avatara encouraged us to reconsider what fine jewellery can mean in a woman’s daily life. When design listens to how women move and make choices, it becomes more than adornment. Our aim was to create pieces that feel quietly current and still reflect the depth that defines VBJ. Avatara is a step toward a future where fine jewellery carries meaning in the everyday, not only in the occasion-bound moments.”

As a fifth-generation family-run brand, VBJ Since 1900 takes immense pride in its role as the makers of the historic Sengol (sceptre) – a sacred symbol of India’s democratic journey. Discovered after 72 years, the Sengol was unearthed by the VBJ team through meticulous research and installed beside the Speaker’s chair in India’s new Parliament building, marking VBJ’s enduring bond with India’s cultural and national heritage. Just as the Sengol stands for integrity and legacy, so does every VBJ creation and Avatara becomes the next chapter in this lineage.

With Avatara, VBJ Since 1900 continues its commitment to jewellery that honours heritage, embraces innovation and reflects the rhythm of women who inspire it. Conceived as an evolving capsule, the collection also offers select customisation, enriching the bespoke experience the brand is known for. The focus is not only on how jewellery is worn, but on how it is understood, valued and carried into the future.

A beautifully crafted launch film brings the campaign to life, set in the precious moments just before the wedding ceremony. Intriguing at first, the vibrant plotline delivers a powerful and contemporary point of view of a modern bride, beautifully rooted in the brand’s core idea of “Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin.” Crucially, the bride’s ‘inner circle,’ her closest family who have known her dream and see it almost as vividly as she does, are integral to the story, making it very relatable in the bridal context.

Commenting on the campaign, Sandeep Kohli, CEO, Indriya, said, “This bridal campaign brings alive the deeply held belief that every bride envisions herself long before her wedding day arrives. At Indriya, our commitment is to walk alongside her on that journey, partnering with her as she brings her bridal dream to life.

Whether she seeks contemporary elegance, designs rooted in cultural heritage, or jewellery that reflects her personal story, Indriya remains committed to offering an unparalleled assortment of exquisitely crafted designs for every kind of bridal vision, and to being the jeweller of choice for India.”

Shantiswarup Panda, Head of Marketing & Visual Merchandising, Indriya, added, “Indriya intends to be the destination for bridal jewellery, and this campaign has been crafted with that vision at its core. Built on deep consumer insight, it reflects every girl’s dream of becoming the bride she has always imagined. Indriya steps in as her trusted ally on this milestone occasion, offering an exquisite bridal collection.

The campaign tells a soulful story of a bride who pauses to savour her look when she is finally ready, feeling her most beautiful and radiant, even as the world waits for her to show up for the wedding. It celebrates a bride’s profound love for her bridal jewellery in a meaningful, intimate way that hasn’t been explored before, and that is what draws you in.”

Abhishek Rastogi, Head of Design, Indriya, said, “Indriya’s bridal collection is crafted for brides who value artistry that seamlessly blends India’s cultural richness with contemporary elegance. Each piece reflects our commitment to preserving heritage while embracing modern sensibilities. From region-inspired masterpieces, anchored in hyperlocal design references, like Anantara, Padma Ranjini, Raasvi, and Rajashree to timeless classics, we offer an unparalleled assortment for every discerning bride.

very creation is born from meticulous craftsmanship and intricate kaarigari—hallmarks of Indriya’s legacy. Among our signature designs is Saptapadma, an extraordinary necklace inspired by the lotus and the seven sacred vows of marriage.
