Bapalal & Company Jewellers Chennai, Tamil Nadu

The custom of wearing gemstones as birthstones dates back to the 16th century. A standardized birthstone list was formulated in 1952. It was sponsored by the Jewellery Industry Council, and was later accepted and approved by several leading jewellery-related institutions in America, notably the Retail Association and the American Gem Society.

Bapalal's Diamond Collection contains an impressive array of Ear Studs, Necklaces, Pendants, Bangles and Nose Studs including contemporary versions of the traditional addigai necklace and the classic 7 stone marvel - the Bapalal Diamond Thodu.
