Founded by his father Mr. Suresh Tibrewala. , 35 years ago their jewelry label Lashyaa was registered in the early 2000’s; however as a label it didn’t find fruition as jewelry business was still largely unorganized during that time.

In spite of being listed, it was the founder’s good will and name that came into play when doing business with customers.

Like everything jewelry too embraced the .com era, and Arpit and his team have worked to bridge Lashyaa to be a brand showcasing independent diamonds which are easily identifiable for their style, cut and carat.

After understanding the ground operations for the first 5 years he set course to harmonize his father initiation and bring forth brand Lashyaa in line with other online jewelry retailers who had already got the pulse and gone live earlier.

A delayed however, did not cut the sail for their business, as since its premium diamond fine jewelry the purchases are after much deliberation, and since the brand had a legacy of trust and quality, the regular customers were only more excited that Lashyaa was online.

Arpit elaborates that the expertise of Lashyaa is in providing customized fine jewelry and the vision for the brand is to evolve into a one stop – shop for all aspirational needs of the client.
