Meet The Founder

Meet Tilak Kumar — Founder of AUMIKA®.

GIA® Graduate GemologistDiamond Cutter · Trained in SuratGoldsmith · 4th-Generation FamilyGem Trader · Bangkok & MumbaiSourced In 40+ CountriesNYC Diamond DistrictArun Gems Intl. (AGI) · 2009US Navy Combat VeteranFirst-Generation Immigrant

AUMIKA® was founded by Tilak Kumar, a GIA® Graduate Gemologist and US Navy combat veteran whose journey into gemstones began long before the brand itself. Coming from a traditional goldsmith family in Bharat, and trained in Surat — the diamond capital of the world — Tilak brings over two decades of diamond and gemstone experience to every AUMIKA® piece.

In 2009, Tilak founded Arun Gems International (AGI), sourcing rare diamonds and gemstones across more than forty countries. AUMIKA® is the fine-jewelry house built on that lifetime of sourcing — begin with the right stone, then quietly craft the piece around it. Each one created once, and never repeated.

A stone is not a product. It is a once-occurring geological event. The piece we build around it should be equally singular.

The AUMIKA® System

Five deliberate stages, by design.

We plan for the next thirty years of your piece—from the sourcing trip to the future trade-up evaluation.

  1. i.
    Source

    Tilak personally inspects center stones across Antwerp, Mumbai, Bangkok, and Jaipur. No catalogues, only direct selection.

    4–24 Weeks
  2. ii.
    Design

    Custom CAD and physical wax models are structured around your selected stone. Unlimited revisions at the NYC bench.

    2–8 Weeks
  3. iii.
    Finance

    Flexible structured plans. 0% APR terms via Affirm, Klarna, or a tailored installment cycle matching the build timeline.

    Tailored Terms
  4. iv.
    Insure

    Built-in worldwide coverage via Zillion. Protection against theft, loss, or damage with immediate checkout enrollment.

    Instant Quote
  5. v.
    Resale

    Your natural stone's documentation holds value. Independent appraisals and trade-up cycles are pre-planned.

    Lifetime Guarantee
The Distinctions

Atelier curation vs. mass inventory.

We do not hold trays of pre-made templates or commoditized databases. We source and craft for a specific individual.

Standard Retailers
AUMIKA® Atelier
Your Sourcing Story

Select diamonds from pre-made inventory dropshipped from massive lists. It feels clinical, numbers-heavy, and transactional.

A customized experience structured around the wearer, the budget, and the moment. Sourced directly from cutting floors based on human context, not SKU filters.

Expert Selection

Sales associates interpret certificates and inventory feeds. The stone is usually chosen before anyone understands the wearer.

Tilak personally inspects candidates for optical life, proportions, fluorescence, origin, and long-term value before presenting a shortlist.

Documentation & Value

Generic certificates and often heavily discounted store credits.

Tax-compliant, IRS-ready appraisals. Certified natural diamonds hold tangible liquidity, backed by a structured trade-up policy.

The Atelier

Commissioned.
Sourced.
Made for one.

Every commission begins with a private thirty-minute conversation — never a brief, never a form. It becomes a stone sourced from a name you may recognise, a setting drawn at the bench in New York's Diamond District, and a piece signed off personally by Tilak. Discretion at every stage. Documented for the lifetime of the wearer, and the one after.

Resale Value

Held in nature.

A 100% natural diamond or gemstone carries intrinsic value because supply is finite and certification is portable. AUMIKA® documents the provenance of every centre stone so an independent appraiser, insurer, or future buyer can verify what you own — no proprietary lock-in, no synthetic substitutions, no surprises.

Our Certificates of Authenticity are issued by a GIA® Graduate Gemologist and IRS-compliant Candidate of Appraisers — accepted by major insurance companies for coverage and claims.

  • Independent appraisal accepted by major insurers
  • GIA® / IGI / HRD reports retain value across borders
  • Trade-up conversations available — speak with AUMIKA® for current terms
  • Natural, never synthetic — verified at sourcing and at the bench
