Our Story
Where heritage meets artistry — since 1887
Home › About Us
❦
Victoria & Co. was founded in the walled city of Jaipur by master goldsmith Vikram Lal with a singular vision — to create jewels that would be cherished across generations. Our artisans practise hand-engraving traditions passed down since the Mughal era, working exclusively with ethically sourced 22K gold and conflict-free diamonds.
"Every jewel carries the memory of the hands that shaped it."
Every piece is BIS-hallmarked and certified through the Kimberley Process, ensuring both purity and ethical integrity.
