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.

iAMORY Goes Mobile: D2C Jeweler Debuts App to Disrupt India’s ‘Counter-Led’ Retail
By bridging the trust gap with lab-grown diamonds and 925 silver, the new iOS and Android platform aims to become a “digital counter” for the modern consumer.
Following a successful physical debut in Mumbai, jewelry brand iAMORY has officially launched its mobile application on Android and iOS. The move signals a strategic shift to scale its direct-to-consumer (D2C) presence, targeting the rapidly evolving digital habits of Indian shoppers.


The app launch is designed to solve the “discovery fatigue” and lack of transparency often associated with traditional jewelry buying. By focusing on the 925 sterling silver and lab-grown diamond (LGD) segments, iAMORY is positioning itself at the intersection of affordability and fine jewelry.
A “Digital Counter” Experience The platform introduces several features aimed at building consumer confidence in high-value online purchases:
- Total Transparency: Real-time access to metal purity details, diamond certifications, and clear pricing breakdowns.
- Mobile-First Design: A seamless interface featuring AI-driven notifications, wishlists, and secure “one-tap” checkouts.
- Exclusive Access: App users will receive priority access to limited product drops and specialized discounts not available on the web or in-store.

Archit Jain of iAMORY noted that the power dynamic in the industry is shifting. “Digital adoption is democratizing jewelry,” Jain stated. “It is shifting power from family-led counters to digital-first, design-led brands that prioritize transparency, speed, and storytelling.” He describes the app as a “digital counter” where users can instantly compare prices and access social proof.
iAMORY plans to continuously iterate on the app experience, with upcoming updates slated to include advanced personalization tools, AI-driven loyalty mechanisms, and interactive content formats to deepen customer engagement.
