A Heartfelt Message From Our Founders
A Heartfelt Message From Our Founders
After more than 25 incredible years, our family is joyfully stepping into retirement and celebrating the beautiful journey of Andaaz Jewelers — a journey shaped by our customers, our team, and the many meaningful moments we were honored to be part of.
When we first started Andaaz Jewelers, we had a simple vision: to bring beautiful, high-quality 22K gold and diamond jewelry to our community while treating every customer with honesty, care, and respect. We never imagined that this family dream would grow into something so meaningful, not only for us, but for the many families who welcomed Andaaz into their most special moments.
In 1998, we broke ground on what would become the Andaaz showroom. The space was custom-built and personally designed with the hope of creating something elegant, welcoming, and lasting — a place where customers could feel comfortable, cared for, and inspired. We opened our doors just in time for Mother’s Day in 1999, a fitting beginning for a business that would go on to celebrate mothers, daughters, brides, families, and generations of love.
In our travels, we discovered handcrafted pieces that many retailers overlooked: unique, fashionable designs with true artistry. We felt customers in America were missing out on these global artisan pieces, and over time, Andaaz became known throughout the Midwest as the boutique for jewelry that felt elegant, distinctive, and different.
For more than two decades, Andaaz has been more than a jewelry store to us. It has been a place filled with stories — weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, baby gifts, religious milestones, heirloom pieces, and quiet moments where someone simply wanted to show love through something beautiful.
To be trusted with those moments has been one of the greatest honors of our lives.
From the very beginning, we believed jewelry should carry meaning. It should hold memory. It should represent love, family, culture, celebration, and blessing. That belief guided every part of this business, from the pieces we selected, to the customer service we offered, to the care we put into every order.
As the world changed, Andaaz changed with it. What started as a traditional family jewelry store grew into a modern luxury brand with a strong online presence. During the COVID years, our ecommerce business became an important new chapter in our story. What began as an extension of our showroom grew into one of the largest online destinations for 22K gold jewelry in the country. Our weekly releases became must-see moments for customers across the nation, who returned again and again to discover fresh designs, unique finds, and collections they could not easily find anywhere else.
That chapter reminded us how special this community truly is. Customers who could no longer visit us in person continued to support us online. New customers trusted us from states far away. Families who had shopped with us for years continued to return. Every order, message, kind review, and referral meant more to us than words can fully express.
Over the years, Andaaz grew in ways we are deeply proud of. We built a trusted name in our showroom, expanded our reach online, and became one of the leading destinations for 22K gold jewelry in the United States. Through every chapter, our focus remained the same: quality, trust, craftsmanship, and service.
We are especially grateful to the customers who returned year after year, generation after generation. Many of you became more than customers — you became part of the Andaaz family. You trusted us with your weddings, your celebrations, your gifts, your traditions, and your most meaningful purchases. That trust is something we will always cherish.
This retirement comes with gratitude, fulfillment, and peace. Andaaz Jewelers has been a beautiful and successful chapter in our lives — one that blessed our family, strengthened our community, and gave us memories we will carry forever. After more than 25 years of dedication, we are ready to enter this next season with full hearts, good health, and deep appreciation.
As we look back, we feel proud of what we built but even more than that, we feel thankful for the people who made it all possible.
To our loyal customers, dedicated team, vendors, friends, and everyone who supported Andaaz Jewelers over the years — thank you.
Thank you for trusting us.
Thank you for supporting our family.
Thank you for allowing Andaaz to be part of your most cherished moments.
As we celebrate the retirement of Andaaz Jewelers, we do so with full hearts, deep appreciation, and endless gratitude.
With sincere appreciation,
Kamal + Punam Kishore
Founders, Andaaz Jewelers
