Based in Bangalore, C. Krishniah Chetty & Sons is a 140 years old jewelry company founded by Cotha Krishniah Chetty in 1869. Krishniah Chetty at first started by simply resourcing gems and gold, but from 1880 shifted on to jewelry also. The business moved to bigger place as the jewelry designs found recognition in the Royal families of Mysore, Sandur and Travancore. Krishniah Chetty’s clientele generally included the royal families and the British, who were then very much a part of India’s colonial landscape.
The company was then appointed as the official distributor for Rolex of Switzerland, and imported products from Mappin & Webb, and The Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company of London."Rolex made diamond-encrusted dials with the name C Krishniah Chetty & Sons on top. Not many companies in the world can claim that honour," says C Vinod Hayagriv.
Today Krishniah Chetty & Sons has an annual turnover of 600 crore and is among the top jewellers best know for their world-class design.
