Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers (India) Pvt. Ltd. (VBJ) commemorated its 125th anniversary in spectacular style, partnering with renowned designer Anju Modi for an opulent evening of heritage and haute couture at The Leela Palace, Chennai
Titled “An Affair of Glamour and Grandeur,” the event paid homage to India's enduring traditions of craftsmanship through a curated display of heirloom jewellery and timeless fashion.
The evening opened with a warm social gathering, setting the tone for what followed — a mesmerizing performance by acclaimed dancer and Padma Bhushan awardee, Ms. Shobana. The highlight of the night was a stunning fashion showcase, curated in collaboration with Evoluzione, where Modi’s signature silhouettes flowed effortlessly alongside VBJ’s resplendent creations in diamonds and gold, embodying stories of Indian heritage and contemporary elegance.
Marking this significant milestone, Managing Partners Amarendran Vummidi and Jithendra Vummidi said, “At VBJ, every creation is not just jewellery — it's a tapestry of emotion, craftsmanship, and history. Collaborating with Anju Modi, whose work revives our textile traditions, beautifully reflects our shared commitment to preserving and reimagining Indian artistry.”
The evening culminated in a heartfelt finale walk featuring the show’s curators — Vimmi, Ranjitha, and Sarika — alongside the VBJ family and Anju Modi, in a tribute to the artisans, designers, and patrons who continue to shape VBJ’s legacy.
