Our Heritage
There are brands that are built. Arnav was felt before it had a name, before it had walls, before it had anything except the conviction that jewellery, at its finest, ought to be an act of complete freedom.
That conviction belongs to two people from Bangalore who arrived at jewellery from different directions and found, in their difference, something more complete than either could have built alone.
Chetan Raja has spent nearly three decades understanding what jewellery is made of, not merely its materials, but its meaning. A gemologist and qualified diamantaire of the Gemological Institute of America, his eye for the rare and the antique is matched only by his instinct for what endures. He sees in every stone a decision, and in every decision, a consequence that will outlast the moment it was made in. He is the strategic mind of Arnav, the one who knows where the brand must go, and why.
Ashwini Oza arrived through design, through the particular pleasure of conceiving something that has never existed before and watching it come into being. Her work spans original creation, antique revival, and a sensibility for aesthetics that is entirely her own. She does not follow what jewellery looks like. She imagines what it could be. She is the creative soul of Arnav, the one who gives the brand its voice.
More than two decades ago, they began with a boutique studio and a single shared belief: that a client ought to have genuine freedom in how their jewellery is made. Not the freedom of a catalogue with many pages, but real freedom. The freedom to begin from nothing. The freedom to bring something old and ask for it to live again. The freedom to own something that exists only once, conceived entirely around a single life.
What started in that studio has grown into an international name. The belief has not changed.
At Arnav, we craft jewellery of enduring quality, guided by creativity and uncompromising integrity. Every piece is made to mark a moment, to express who someone is, and to be valued for years to come. Our vision is singular and it has always been so: to stand as a testament to exceptional style, master craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality, creating timeless treasures that become part of life's defining stories.
This is not a brand that makes jewellery. It is a brand that makes yours.
