Our Culture

Through our products and services we are looking to educate and provide an insight on the magnitude of our culture. Through the unchanged names of our pieces such as Vaddanam, Tikka, Panja and Jhumki, our non-Indian clients receive an insight on their traditional uses for festivals, matrimony and life’s milestones. With this practice, we ensure that the sacred traditional and cultural integrity of each jewelry piece remains.

Our vision at Virani is to be a modern and progressive depiction of Indian jewelry, without ever compromising its value and cultural significance.
