 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.

Senco Gold & Diamonds Unveils Bangle Utsav 2026 This Akshaya Tritiya

A Contemporary Ode to Individuality and Movement, the Campaign Reimagines Bangles as Symbols of Identity, Intention, and Everyday Expression

This Akshaya Tritiya, Senco Gold & Diamonds unveils Bangle Utsav 2026, a campaign that reframes one of India’s most timeless jewellery traditions through the lens of a generation that lives life on its own terms. At its heart lies a resonant idea: Senco’s Bangle Utsav is a celebration of the modern Indian youth’s spirit, unapologetically alive, always in motion, and deeply expressive. Inspired by the thought meri zindagi mere haathon mein, the campaign honours the quiet power of hands: hands that think, build, question, create and move with intention.

In the campaign film, the story unfolds entirely through these gestures, of a young woman whose hands overanalyse and outgrow, and a young man whose hands chase ambition and mark its hard-won victories. Their stories belong to millions, yet their expression is uniquely their own. Bangle Utsav gives those hands the chance to shine as they deserve.

The relationship between hands and jewellery has always been intimate; one frames the other. Hands are our first storytellers; jewellery becomes the punctuation. Bangles catch light when thoughts shift, kadas absorb the warmth of daily victories, bracelets echo the rhythm of movement. In a world led by touch, swipe, gesture and creation, jewellery on the wrist becomes both witness and signature. Bangle Utsav celebrates this poetry: where motion meets meaning, where style meets intention.

Crafted for this spirit of motion, the Bangle Utsav Collection 2026 brings together over 500 designs in gold, diamond and platinum, each one an heirloom-in-the-making. The pieces carry the poetry of karigari from master artisans across India, yet sit effortlessly in contemporary wardrobes: delicate diamond lattices, sculptural platinum curves, and bold men’s kadas and wristlets from Senco’s Aham line that speak to a new, confident aesthetic. Designed for both festive beginnings and everyday assertion, the collection invites women and men alike to celebrate prosperity not just as ritual, but as self-expression.

Gold and diamonds, symbols of purity, prosperity and permanence, take centre stage this Akshaya Tritiya. From luminous gold bangles that embody auspicious beginnings to diamond bracelets that shimmer with promise, the collection captures both the sanctity of tradition and the clarity of modern design.

As families across India embrace the auspicious energy of Akshaya Tritiya, a day believed to bring eternal growth, Senco marks the occasion with special offers that elevate the joy of purchasing gold and diamonds. Customers can enjoy up to 20% off on diamond value, up to 75% off on making charges, up to Rs. 10,000 off per 10g on gold rate, along with 0% deduction on old gold exchange. Thoughtfully curated for the season, these offers make stepping into the festival of abundance even more meaningful.

Jewellery becomes truly powerful when it reflects the life it moves with,” says Joita Sen, Head of Marketing and Design, Senco Gold & Diamonds.

“With Bangle Utsav, our inspiration began with the vocabulary of the hand itself, its elegance, its movement, its quiet conviction. We wanted to create gold and diamond pieces that echo this rhythm: fluid bangles, sculptural kadas and minimalist bracelets that honour tradition yet feel unmistakably modern. Every curve, every lattice, every shimmer is designed to move with the wearer. This Akshaya Tritiya felt like the perfect time to celebrate that spirit of prosperity shaped by intention, beauty worn with purpose, and a life confidently held in one’s own hands.”

Set against a pan-India backdrop with a strong focus on West Bengal and key northern and eastern markets, the campaign connects emotion, craftsmanship and contemporary identity in a singular visual voice. The Bangle Utsav Collection 2026 is now available across all Senco Gold & Diamonds showrooms nationwide and online at sencogoldanddiamonds.com, inviting India to celebrate new beginnings with beauty, meaning and the quiet, expressive power held in one’s own hands.
