About NISHKA

Our Story

Hi, we're Aman and Shaily.

We come from Surat, India known around the world as the "Diamond City," where 90% of the world's rough diamonds are cut and polished. We're both third-generation diamantaires, born into families who've lived and breathed diamonds for decades. But we each chose career outside their family business: Aman moved to Australia to pursue engineering and now works in construction, while Shaily pursued accounting and became a CPA. 

The idea for NISHKA began with a simple moment. When Shaily wanted a piece to mark a milestone, we went jewellery store hopping around Melbourne and were stunned by the prices. Beautiful stones, fine craftsmanship, but at a markup that didn't add up. Having grown up around the diamond trade, we knew exactly what quality should cost and the gap was too big to ignore.

So we decided to build something of our own: a brand that honours our family's roots while making fine jewellery genuinely accessible.

Why "NISHKA"?

NISHKA is an ancient term for a gold ornament but for us, it means much more. It's also an echo of our mothers' names, Nisha and Kavita, the two women who mean the world to us. Naming our brand after them felt like the most fitting way to honour where we come from.

What we believe

Diamonds shouldn't be a once-in-a-lifetime splurge. At NISHKA, it's luxury without the extra layers, and craftsmanship without the inflated price tag.

Our promise is simple: pieces you'll cherish for life, with no design out of reach and none of it at an unreasonable cost.
