Founded in 1998 by Vinay Kotak and Alex Malik, AV Diamonds began with a simple mission: to bring uncompromising craftsmanship and trust to the jewelry industry. What started as a modest jewelry wholesaler has since expanded into a global manufacturer, becoming the foundation of what is now the V&A Group.
“AV Diamonds represents both our heritage and our vision,” says Aryan Kotak, Director of V&A Group. “It is where we began, and it continues to serve as the pillar of our company—connecting lasting partnerships with craftsmanship and innovation.”
From its early beginnings, V&A Group has grown into one of the leading forces in diamond jewelry manufacturing. A state-of-the-art factory in India expanded production capabilities, and in recent years, the company introduced new divisions.
Most recently, the group opened a U.S.-based factory in 2025, further strengthening its global presence and ability to serve retailers seamlessly. “Our values haven’t changed since the beginning,” Aryan explains. “We focus on delivering quality while also being a dependable partner for every retailer we work with.”
With growing expansion and a continued emphasis on design and service, V&A Group is poised for its next chapter. For Aryan, the most rewarding part of the journey is seeing the impact on clients: “When our partners succeed, we succeed. That’s what drives us every day.”
Membership in the American Gem Society (AGS) is a natural extension of V&A Group’s values. “AGS represents the highest standards of ethics and professionalism,” Aryan shares. “Being part of this community is important to us because it reflects our own commitment to integrity and excellence in every aspect of our work.”
