AUMIKA® creates meaningful fine jewelry with 100% natural diamonds and gemstones — founder-guided sourcing, GIA®-backed confidence, and ready-to-ship pieces for moments that cannot wait.


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.
We plan for the next thirty years of your piece—from the sourcing trip to the future trade-up evaluation.
Tilak personally inspects center stones across Antwerp, Mumbai, Bangkok, and Jaipur. No catalogues, only direct selection.
Custom CAD and physical wax models are structured around your selected stone. Unlimited revisions at the NYC bench.
Flexible structured plans. 0% APR terms via Affirm, Klarna, or a tailored installment cycle matching the build timeline.
Built-in worldwide coverage via Zillion. Protection against theft, loss, or damage with immediate checkout enrollment.
Your natural stone's documentation holds value. Independent appraisals and trade-up cycles are pre-planned.
We do not hold trays of pre-made templates or commoditized databases. We source and craft for a specific individual.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
