Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd and Anju Modi Illuminate Chennai with a Celebration of Heritage and Haute Couture
In an unforgettable celebration of craftsmanship and culture, Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd. (VBJ), and legendary fashion designer Anju Modi came together to orchestrate an evening of breathtaking artistry at The Leela Palace, Chennai.
Titled “An Affair of Glamour and Grandeur,” the evening marked a proud milestone — 125 years of VBJ, storied legacy — celebrated through an extraordinary convergence of heirloom jewellery and timeless couture. In a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, Anju Modi’s ethereal creations found their perfect complement in VBJ’s intricate masterpieces, weaving a narrative that transcended generations.
The evening unfolded gracefully:
Guests were welcomed to a warm social hour before being transported into a world of enchantment by an emotive dance performance by Padma Bhushan awardee, Ms. Shobana. The crescendo of the night was an awe-inspiring runway presentation, thoughtfully curated in association with Evoluzione, featuring layered silhouettes, ornate bridal finery, and gleaming diamonds — each piece telling a story of India’s profound artistic passion.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Amarendran Vummidi and Mr. Jithendra Vummidi, Managing Partners of Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd, remarked: “At VBJ, every piece we create is an heirloom of emotion, craftsmanship, and history. As we celebrate 125 years, it is only fitting that we honor this journey with a collaboration that reflects India’s eternal spirit. Anju Modi’s revival of our weaving traditions mirrors our passion for preserving and evolving Indian craftsmanship. Tonight is not just about fashion; it’s about storytelling, legacy, and the soul of India.”
The runway’s finale was a moment of pride, with curators Ms. Vimmi, Ms. Ranjitha, and Ms. Sarika joining the Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd family and Anju Modi for a heartfelt final walk — a tribute to the artisans, designers, and patrons who continue to inspire VBJ’s vision.

Kumari Fine Jewellery Celebrates the “Modern Indian Original” with Exclusive Women’s Day Showcase
The Women’s Day showcase highlights self-bought milestones and positions lightweight gold jewellery as a symbol of independence, identity, and modern professional style.
Mumbai’s leading lightweight fine jewellery brand, Kumari Fine Jewellery, has unveiled its International Women’s Day 2026 showcase, celebrating every Kumari’s financial independence, personal style, and the power of self-expression. Reimagining the occasion as a tribute to the “Modern Indian Original,” the brand positions precious jewellery not as a passive asset, but as an active styling statement for women who invest in themselves.

This Women’s Day, Kumari brings an exhibition creating an exclusive experience for women who view gold as a reflection of identity rather than an occasion. Designed for working professionals, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders, the showcase centres around the idea of the self-bought milestone, encouraging women to commemorate their achievements with jewellery that anchors confidence and presence.
The exhibition will feature a thoughtfully curated selection of signature pieces styled for work, travel, and celebration. From refined everyday gold essentials to statement accents that transition seamlessly from boardroom meetings to evening parties, each design reflects Kumari’s contemporary aesthetic and commitment to versatility. The brand’s design philosophy focuses on wearability, styling intelligence, and modern relevance, ensuring precious jewellery becomes an integral part of the active, social, and professional lives of contemporary women.

Speaking about the campaign, Supriya Kataria, Founder, Kumari Fine Jewellery, said, “Our vision has always been to design for the Modern Indian women who lead, create, and define their own journey. This showcase invites you to honour your personal milestones with jewellery that anchors your confidence, serving as a powerful reflection of both identity and achievement.”
Extending the initiative offline, Kumari Fine Jewellery will host a pop-up experience on 5 & 6th March 2026 at Parinee Crescenzo, Business Park, One BKC, Mumbai, inviting guests to experience a space where gold is not simply purchased, but personally claimed as a marker of growth, independence, and self-expression.
