Every house begins with a single act of courage. Ours began when a boy of fourteen left his village for the diamond city — and never looked back.
"Diamonds have always fascinated me. I would study their cuts, their clarity, and their beauty — and I knew that my future was in this craft."Mathurbhai B. Sojitra · Founder & Chairman
An enduring passion for diamonds has shaped Mathurbhai Sojitra's journey since he left his village of Dhari, Gujarat, at the age of fourteen. Arriving in Surat — India's diamond capital — with nothing but determination, he immersed himself in the art of diamond cutting and polishing. What began with a few polishing wheels is today a house of over 2,000 artisans whose work travels the world.
Fourteen-year-old Mathurbhai Sojitra leaves Dhari for the diamond city. Four years of rigorous training teach him to read the light inside a rough stone.
With just a few polishing wheels, Mathurbhai founds his own workshop — transforming a small operation into a business known for quality and precision, formally incorporated as Mani Export Pvt. Ltd.
From Antwerp to Bangkok, Hong Kong to New York — Mani diamonds begin travelling to the world's great trading centres, and his sons Anil, Alpesh and Chetan join the house, bringing a drive for innovation.
Under Chetanbhai Sojitra, the house extends from stone to setting. Mani Jewel is established as a manufacturer and wholesaler of authentic, traditional and exclusive fine jewellery — express with better diamonds.
At the Gujarat Hira Bourse in Hazira, Surat, the house builds its flagship — a technology-led factory where diamonds and jewellery are imagined, cut, cast, set and finished under one roof.
Twenty-five years of Mani Jewel. The third generation — led by Neet and Dhyey Sojitra, honoured in GJEPC's 40 Under 40 — turns legacy into scale, building the modern jewellery brands of the house.
Vertically integrated from rough stone to finished piece, the house passes the advantage of in-house cutting, grading and manufacture directly to its partners.
Every step is documented and openly shared. Traceable origins, transparent craft — because brilliance means more when its journey is known.
Five decades of diamond mastery inform every consultation — from stone selection to collection planning for retailers across India.
Necklace sets, pendant sets, tanmaniya, bangles, rings and earrings — in yellow, white, rose and green gold, platinum and silver, across every diamond shape.
Beyond the four Cs of a diamond, the house lives by five of its own.
Our partners sit at the centre of every decision — their needs shape ours.
Every day at the bench, the wheel and the desk, we get a little better.
For the people of the house, the partners we serve and the pieces we make.
We stand by our promises — consistent value, delivered with integrity.
Imagination that challenges convention and sets new standards in the craft.
