Verlas Brings New York’s Next-Gen Diamond Jewellery to India
New York–born, lab-grown diamond fine jewellery brand Verlas is now in India with a luxe, modern, design-led, and digital-first experience in India
Verlas, a New York–born fine jewellery brand, today announced the launch of its India operations, bringing design-led and modern lab-grown diamond jewellery to one of the world’s most dynamic jewellery markets. Entering as a digital-first brand, Verlas aims to redefine how Indians discover, wear, and value diamonds, moving the conversation beyond wedding lockers to designs crafted for real, everyday life.
Launching at a time when India is emerging as a global leader in lab-grown diamonds and digital luxury, Verlas positions itself as a global, design-led brand rather than a traditional Indian jeweller. The brand focuses on clean, minimal, internationally inspired designs crafted in fine gold, using certified lab-grown diamonds to offer fine jewellery that is aspirational yet accessible. Verlas is built for the generation that shops, researches, and builds trust primarily online.


“India does not need just another lab-grown diamond brand; it needs a global, design-first diamond brand that understands how people actually live, dress, and express themselves today,” said the Founder of Verlas. The founder further added that, “Today’s Indian consumers are ready for diamond jewellery that fits their lives, not just their lockers. They want elegant, dainty designs they can wear to a meeting, a brunch, a flight, or a dinner date, without waiting for a big occasion. We are entering India not to sell lab-grown diamonds as a novelty, but to show how beautifully designed, certified lab-grown diamond jewellery styles can become part of daily wardrobes.


Our New York design sensibility, combined with India’s deep connection to diamonds, allows Verlas to offer something truly new: modern, global luxury made for everyday wear.’’ The aim behind the India launch is to present Verlas as a New York–born fine jewellery brand with a modern lab-grown diamond vision tailored for India. Spotlighting IGI-certified lab-grown diamonds, BIS hallmarked fine gold craftsmanship, and a smooth e-commerce experience that makes buying diamonds clearer and more transparent. Early conversations will centre on India’s growing appetite for wearable diamond jewellery, the rise of lab-grown diamonds as aspirational luxury, and how Verlas’ digital-first model fits new buying habits.
The brand’s credibility is further strengthened by its independent sustainability recognitions, including the Butterfly Mark from Positive Luxury and SCS Global Services certification, reinforcing its commitment to responsible sourcing and verified standards. Verlas’ entry also taps into a broader shift in the Indian market, where lab-grown diamonds are gaining traction as a responsible, value-driven, and design-forward choice. By normalising lab-grown diamonds firmly within the fine jewellery category rather than as a compromise, Verlas aims to help shape the next chapter of India’s diamond story.

Located adjacent to its existing silver showroom, the new showroom brings together an expansive assortment of silver jewellery and silverware in a larger, thoughtfully designed retail environment that elevates the overall shopping experience.

Silver has been the pride of VBJ. Having begun its journey with silver over a century ago, the brand now celebrates its origins with a dedicated space that reflects its continued commitment to craftsmanship, quality and customer experience.


Spanning 8000 sq. ft., the new silver showroom has been designed as a comprehensive destination for silver enthusiasts.

From contemporary daily wear jewellery and silverware including festive gifting options such as handcrafted pooja articles, home décor, dining collections, collectibles and bespoke creations, the showroom caters to every occasion and every generation. The enhanced layout allows customers to browse with ease in a spacious and elegant setting.
Speaking on the launch, Jithendra Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, said:
“Silver is where our story began, and this new showroom is a tribute to those beginnings. While we have continuously evolved over the decades, our commitment to preserving the artistry and relevance of silver has remained unchanged. This larger showroom allows us to present our complete silver universe in a way that offers customers greater choice, a more immersive experience and an environment that reflects the quality and craftsmanship synonymous with VBJ.”

Amarendran Vummidi, Managing Partner, VBJ, added:

Located right next to our existing silver showroom, this new space strengthens our presence on Anna Salai while reaffirming our commitment to offering customers the very best of silver craftsmanship.”
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 this legacy, VBJ is now set to unveil its largest jewellery showroom on Coimbatore’s 100ft Road.
With this new showroom, Vummidi Silverware reaffirms its commitment to offering timeless silver creations through an elevated retail experience rooted in heritage and craftsmanship.
