Ltd., celebrated the grand opening of its luxurious diamond boutique in Vile Parle East, Mumbai.

Arhah leans on the heritage of V. M. Muslunkar & Sons, a legacy jewelry house founded 75 years ago by VM Muslunkar, to build a niche for diamond and gemstone jewelry. The new brand combines the traditional craftsmanship of Muslunkar with contemporary design elements to cater to modern sensibilities.
Sagar Muslunkar, Director at V. M. Muslunkar & Sons Jewellers Pvt. Ltd., emphasized, “Arhah represents a fusion of tradition and modernity. Our new boutique is not just a store; it’s an experience. We aim to redefine luxury with every piece of jewelry, ensuring our customers receive nothing but the best.”
Every jewelry piece at Arhah is manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility using the highest quality metals, diamonds, and gemstones. Each product is ethically sourced and undergoes rigorous quality checks before reaching the customer. This commitment to quality ensures that every piece of jewelry is not only beautiful but also responsibly made.
At Arhah, the emphasis is on creating a holistic experience for each customer. The boutique ensures personalized service by matching each customer with an executive who understands their exact needs and curates the catalogs and inventory accordingly. The boutique features an exclusive area for customers to comfortably select designs and a dressing room for bridal jewelry, where brides and their families can try the jewelry with their outfits in real time.

The diamond jewelry market in India has been witnessing substantial growth, with an estimated CAGR of 8.5% from 2021 to 2028. This increasing demand for premium jewelry and the rising disposable income among consumers are key drivers of this growth. Mumbai, being a hub for luxury goods, presents a lucrative opportunity for brands like Arhah to establish a strong foothold.
Incorporating local culture and heritage into its designs, Arhah borrows from the experience and learnings of VMM while integrating contemporary elements. This approach ensures that the brand remains true to its roots while appealing to modern sensibilities. Future plans include hosting events based on holidays and participating in exhibitions to engage with the community and target audience.
